I am still looking for the side mount hold down hardware for my 30-U if you come across any of it.

Thanks Russ T. Didn't see much for that kind of hardware, but I think the parts motor he had sitting in the garage (which I'm now tripping over) was a 30. Not in great shape, think I'll part it out and toss the bad.

I thought about Minnesota but think it might be a bit to far even with the car trailer. Anyway dealing with some critical issues at home that are monopolizing my spare time. 

Congratulations, Chet

I get it, its a long haul from the coast. I never made it to a national show and since its finally landing here, I better go!

I hope you get your issues resolved, best of luck.

thanks

Don't have much of any body stuff and both my wipers assemblies are shot. Probably have to buy some generic kit or find a ford or chev cross over.

Member DFeeney (Don) on the AACA is the only guy I know who has one. I'm sure you have run across him over there. If anybody knows were they are hiding he does. And there isn't many!

Quote from: Touring29 on March 18, 2023, 11:16:54 PMDoes anyone have a old drive housing that could be copied? My oldest is getting to be a pretty good machinist working in a tool & die shop and is curious to see if he can make one. Mine is going for now and I don't want to disturb it fearing it will self destruct.

Been there done that 

Check out my old thread from the dead. Friend machined me that got me by for a few years until I tracked one down. I may have an old base, but it won't be in good shape. FYI- there was some new ones on ebay that were made in Germany ? I think for $399. Not sure if they are still listed any longer, probably not much of a market for them.

I accidentally blew the fuse on the ammeter in my 30-U because I was too lazy to disconnect the battery before doing some minor electrical work.  No big deal but the fuse looks like it might be the original one and has no markings.  My guess is it's 20 amp but I was hoping someone knows for sure what the correct size should be. I can't find any reference to it in the owners manual.

The accelerator pump on the RT-08 carburetor is practically useless so not having it hooked up on the BB-1 probably doesn't make a difference but I think you will notice a big difference once you have it connected. I checked the carburetors I have and do not have a spare of the piece you are looking for but I would call the Carburetor Shop in Missouri and see if he has what you need.  There are several variations so if you have the brass tag with the identifying numbers I am pretty sure he can help.

Rusty you can see the broken piece in the picture. Its the piece that goes on the throttle shaft and actuates the accelerator pump. The unbroken version is visible in the picture you posted. I tried a JB weld repair last night that may or may not work.  I'm going to try to find a screw to replace the missing one, make some proper throttle linkage and fab a better fuel line today. The air cleaner adaptor is going to take some head scratching but I'll figure out something.

Strange thing is that this BB-1 starts cold without using the choke and even without a working accelerator pump doesn't hesitate. The choke cable will hook up but is really too short and doesn't work very well. If I stick with this carb I'll fix that. 

Laugh at my emergency throttle linkage if you must but if it works is it really a bad idea? 

Roadster looks great!  You can't beat an open car!
