Kev, no tracks. Drivers side moves like a recliner chair. Handle under drivers front, pull up handle , scoutch bum forward and back tilts. Pass seat doesn't move . Storage under both cushions.

Now, since I am an old guy, how does the front seat come out? 4 hidden bolts thru the floor? I might as well take it out to lay on the floor to play under the dash, and recover the seat while its out.

Thanks guys, I guess this is like a Landrover. To remove the clutch, step 1, remove the roof. Looks like I have to remove the front seat so I can be comfortable under the dash. The seat locating pin under my back wasn't pleasant. Breathe Fred breathe. This may be the time to sort out the rest of the annoying dash issues.

Greetings from the left coast.
The other day I was fiddling under the hood. Had been running the engine and shut it off to do something. Went to start it and it only cranked. No horn, lites, ignition , nothing. A little sleuthing and I found nothing thru the ammeter. Also, the needle was down scale with battery disconnected. When I bridged the ammeter, car started and everything worked. So, ammeter is open circuit. How does it come out and where do I send it to be repaired? Have been driving the Dowager regularly as my go for coffee and grocery getter. Also can the temp gage be serviced?
Cheers, Fred.

Thank you for the packing. Changed it this weekend. Could have been an ugly job ,but turned out ok.
This is a great group, got lots of useful help and tips. A lot of knowledge out there.
Now, if only I could post photos.

Finally got it to run properly. Distributor had numerous problems. Reset timing and carb and now it starts and runs properly. Have been using it to run errands and other short hauls. Now for the water pump leak and non charging. Thanks for the help.

What did you come up with for packing? 1931 826.

The water pump is leaking. What is the correct packing and what length? I assume it is cut into rings with mitred offset joints? One step at a time.

What spark plugs are we using? I bought Champ 518/W18. Where on the heat range is this ?

Guy gave me a gasket. Fits Model A Ford. One more little problem solved.
Going to show it tomorrow in a local street fair and show and shine.
Thanks for the help.
