I think #2 is a modified Model S.

On further scrutiny, you might be right. Certainly has some aspects of an S. Interesting, I don’t think I’ve seen a photo of an S cut down into a speedster, and the starter crank is in an interesting spot.

What percent grade of stairs is acceptable on a tour?

ThreePedalTapDancer

Yes, grind down the weld. A hand held grinder with 4-1/2 60 grit flap wheel will do the job quickly. I’ve removed many bugger weld safety additions over the years.

They made many different types for automobiles. Here is a link to previous discussion https://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/5 ... 1459602143

Ok, I think I’ve found the source of the distributor. It is military, probably from a WW2 German truck or similar. A Phänomen (Eng. Phenomenon) Granit 1500, a light truck from Gustav Hiller AG and thus the later VEB Kraftfahrzeugwerk Phänomen Zittau. I found pictures of the same type of distributor ...

ThreePedalTapDancer

On further examination, I can see the Bosch distributor internals, as well as the points, are the exact same as used in a Porsche 356 that dates 1955-1963, as well as early VW. This confirms my belief that it’s was later conversion, or at least the distributor dates from that era. Next is to identif...

Most prefer to paint them red or black or yellow, or a matching color to your particular block.I remember the original color was an off-green that wasn’t very appealing from some of the originals I’ve seen.

I wonder how many quarts overfilled is shown by the oil level in the petcock?

ThreePedalTapDancer

Interesting. The removal of the floorboards, combined with overfilling the crankcase with oil, allowed an oil mist maelstrom to form, and the weight of the overfilled oil forced to the back of the crankcase by the highway speed of the trailer, enabled oil to be squeezed out of every available openin...
