BBT is not having them at the moment but will be soon available.
I bought them for my 1955 vert that I've sold 3 years ago.  Afbeelding 085.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.

I got my rear engine cardboard from Wolfgang Gips in Germany.
I signed my old one on a carboard and sended it to him, he has done nice work.
I also bought the front trunk one from him... :d  Afbeelding 1585.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.  Afbeelding 1586.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.  Afbeelding 1589.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.  Afbeelding 1588.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.  Afbeelding 1592.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.

I know some people won't like this but I used a NOS 30 HP engine for the car.
I used also a NOS one for my 1955 oval and it drives superb, believe me.:d
Don't worry I have a 1952 25 HP engine but don't have the time to redone that engine, if I have more free time it will becomes OK!:d
I still had some parts of the original 25 HP engine but the original 25 engine is gone a long time go....
Some parts are not correct for the engine but it looks very 25 HP :lol:

Very, very clean! 😎

That looks like a NOS 28 PCI! :shock: We have a few here but they all have the worn casing where the throttle goes in! :roll: Going to look into making something on the lathe to fix it but having a nice one to start with would be lovely! :roll: :lol:

I guess the car will be ready for the next Lavenham, even if it is next year! :lol: :beer:
Yesterday I placed the engine.
Not that easy when you have to do it alone.... :d but it has worked with shouting H*ll and D*evill :lol:  Afbeelding 1598.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.

Paris dangerous with semaphores??? Just give me a call when you arrive in the area, and we'll do a mini-convoy to Thenay!!! I'll show you how to drive with cable brakes, non synchro and semaphores in Paris!!! :lol:

Joke out, if you want to do the trip with me from Paris, no problem.

After a lot of research the electrical problem is solved.
The fusebox was not the correct one.... 😞 after spending a lot of ours my mate Sidney found it out and solved the problem.
I'm still looking for a correct lightswitch for zwitter and early oval as on the picture..
Someone haves it?
Thanks.
The engine is running and all the electric things are working... :d

:?: I noticed the note in the dashboard post ," that the starter button hole was too big".
In my early Zwitter Cab the starter button is the same size/type as the one on my '52 standard, Ivory instead of black.
The button on my later Zwitter Cab is the smaller common aluminum type.
Have you ever seen the larger split button in the Zwitters before?
My cars are original as far as I can tell..

I cannot agree more, if you have a NOS engine then use it! My 50 has a nos industrial Swedish army engine 34hp! but with mushroom filter and lots of the nice 50 parts fitted to it also and we have a nos 356 industrial to fit in Owens 50, and just fitted a nos 356 engine into our 356 last year, nothing beats the wonderful as new power and drive and peace of mind! and yes we have the original knackered old stock engines in the garage collecting dust for the 'maybe in the future' event also :lol:

I love this thread :beer: :d

(I will get Owen to see if we have one of those switches)

Hi Anna,
Thanks for the kind words!
I will restore once my 1952 engine but that would take too much time (and money :d ) now to rebuild and restore it....
And a NOS engine is so great to drive... :)
I found the correct switch in Hannover this friday.
And some other parts too.
Every year it is less and less but still worth to go there.
It will be quiet next week, I will refresh and repaint my daughters "teenage" bedroom...
Then I will move on!

I've installed the door and roofrubbers from Heikki.
I got a special "rubberknife" from Guido and that was already a good start.
To have the rubber slashed I used a small polish machine and used sandingpaper on it (P320)
The rear roofrubber was nailed on both sides becouse they are fixed at the wooden part...
The rubber who's on the frame is screwed.  Afbeelding 1640.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.  Afbeelding 1637.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.
