This site is quite useful for finding equivalent sizes as I think pushing the car off a cliff would take more effort!

Ace, Aceca & Greyhound Forum / Re: Aceca for sale

I'm pretty sure this was for sale by AC Heritage but also included a rebuilt replacement one digit out Weller engine, which would now appear missing as I found the listing comment " needs minor changes such as the engine change" hilarious.

I have been checking every day for weeks with no luck.

There are times when I'm considering pushing the car off a cliff just because it's not assembled in metric. Utter pain in the back for me.

I should be able to answer my own question in not too long if I can eventually source a 1" Whitworth ring spanner.

Where in the world can such a thing be found?

General Discussion / Re: Brass Craft Screen

Last post by B.P.Bird - November 12, 2024, 12:34:41

Jon,
Your Brasscraft 'screen will doubtless be a big help to someone rebuilding an A.C. and, noting the availability here, is a likely way to contact them.
I'm not looking for a 'screen myself, but your post does raise a couple of interesting questions: What is the objection to the original screens for IVA purposes and what 'screen do you have ? I ask this last because I think there are a number of variations over the production years of Ace and Cobra. Obviously the flat versus curved glass, but also I think there were other variations in width and height. I wonder if anyone has ever managed to note these differences and their applications ?

Vintage, PVT & 2 Litre Forum / AC 2 Litre spares supply.

Last post by 3andahalfpints - November 10, 2024, 10:31:47

I have launched a small business to supply spares for AC 2 Litre Saloons and Bucklands. New, NOS and secondhand parts.

A small range to start with, but hopefully this will gradually increase. I think we could do with a one-stop-shop for ACs!

I have a full e-commerce store which you can find via my long established ac2litre.com site, or via the direct link below.

I won't be doing new major engine parts as this is expensive, and we already have a couple of specialists out there.
