Tim .. do you mean it like that ???

flackmaster ... don't be worry and don't be sad .. but there is no wax for this kind of shine on the head. Only hours by hours of work ... with sanding .. maybe sandblasting ... special spatula ... sanding and spatula again .... and sanding back to the cast surface and special primer to fill all this rust holes and scares and waves and maybe a couple steps more till a real good surface. Then ...after paint you got this nice shine surface without wax .. 😉 I love this kind of restauration till the point the constructors ... the engineer?s and the blue print means it ... before the producers made it. Here my 1924 engine block ready to paint after more than hours and hours of machine and hand sanding steps on cast cylinder and aluminum crankcase. Last step the Aluminum crankcase are sanded by 800 grid by hand and finished by a special machine aluminum brush to medium gloss before a special aluminum clearcoat .. also medium gloss. And that's what some people called a "over restauration" or "NOT ORIGINAL" !!!

Thank you Howard, my Car is a 136 and you are right. Page 11 shows exact this piece. Think,.. this original condenser was broken so .. they cut off the little wire and installed the extra condenser on the side. I let the box on place put a new wire whitout function on it that it looks original. I dont need any other condenser because I install an electronic ignition.

...does somebody know what is in this little black box which is mounted on the side of the distributor?
The box is closed by 2 rivets. Before I try to open it I like to know if there is sens in.

Thank you Dave,
I found a couple of suppliers into the net, ... but nobody delivert to Germany. So Brillmans stuff looks great and he delivert worldwide. Now I hope he has this special Spark wire for electronic ignition in this old fashion look.

I changed my distributor inside technic to electronic ignition. Is there any supplier for Cloth Braided Spark Plug Wire in US??

..thank you guy?s for all answers on my question. Very helpful. Problem is now .. there is only one company in germany who produced this original LINOLEUM (not PVC). But they dont make any uni black or dark grey ones.

.. does anyone have informations about the right color for this linoleum or was there diffrent ones over the years. Im?looking for my 1924 Sport Pheaton.

Here the way I fixed and rebuild the Door Locks for my Sport Phaeton.

By the way ... I need the messurements for this special end piece of my exhaustpipe. Looks like a tromped where a truck rolls over. Thikness for the walls too .. original it was made by cast iron i think.

Here tha way fixed the totally worn cardan universal joint.
I build a adapterplate for the original plate and installed the universal joint from a Jaguar XJ 1982. This piece is small enough to fit under the cover(bell) and its strong enough for this car.
