My new hubcap collection: NASH around 1940 to 1950. I know the "R" CAPS - from the Nash Rambler Countryman. The other's I'm not sure of.

Auto Union/DKW speedo's and an old Opel

Some assorted mirrors

6volt gennie and a regulator - vw

HAHA - aircooled plugs, or glow plugs, not sure.

I love exploring this old stuff.

Here's one for the old hands, what wheels are these? In my mind the word "FORD" keeps popping up, but for all I know they might be wheelbarrow wheels.

Then onto DIY, before Tiger Wheel and Tire was available for wheel alignment.

I've got No idea what make this is, but it seems complete.

To do camber adjustments

And toe in/out

After searching for a very long time, I eventually found an original Sanyo Rally radio, which will go into the '69 Beetle!

Image

How LEKKER is local? These radios were made under license in South Africa, and it has the volume control on the right - typical application for a RHD vehicle.

Image

Image

I was quite surprised to find this complete wiring diagram inside the cover plate when I opened it to be cleaned...
