- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: Jaeger Clock adjustmentIt's hard to be precise without seeing but the two things to reconcile with quartz movements are :1) fitting the movement to make the battery and adjuster accessible and 2) retaining the original clock case to maintain the fixings points for the original clamp. 2) seems to usually win out over 1) so the adjusting […]SHyslop
- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Interior ImprovementsI have recently acquired a 1937 Rover 12 Sports Saloon (FPD 357), which I am advised was previously owned by Terry Priestley in the 1970’s and 80’s, and this is my first Rover for I am very much in a voyage of discovery.The car appears to be in good running order with excellent bodywork and […]AFPU
- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: Jaeger Clock adjustmentGreat advice. Having had a quick look the borads covered with material around the instrument panel are present but have obviously been pulled back for access, so I may be able to gain access that way. As for the hands size and nut I'll need to have a closer look once the weather improves and […]AFPU
- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: Jaeger Clock adjustmentAll will be revealed once you get into it! (Personal biased views following !!) Quartz movements are a quick fix for a non working clock but the standard quartz movement has a sort of nasty 'crunch-crunch' sound compared with the nice 'click click - click click' of the original.There are quieter newer quartz movements, to […]SHyslop
- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: 1937 P2 Front SeatsMany thanks. The leather is in great condition, so probably just needs a bit of packing adding to firm it up.AFPU
- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: Jaeger Clock adjustmentYes SHyslop the car is FPD 357; so you think someone has previously fitted a quartz movement and I'll need to establish if it battery or supplied directly. I'll have a rummage around behind the dash and see what I can find.If I do locate it, will that no doubt also allow me to reset […]AFPU
- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: 1937 P2 Front SeatsThe cushion should just pull straight out. This is usually the most worn piece of upholstery in the car. I've had quite a few recovered but if the leather is intact, it should be a straightforward job to repack it with firmer stuffing. If it is tight to pull out from the seat, lift it […]SHyslop
- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • Re: Jaeger Clock adjustmentIf this is FPD, someone has been at it already and fitted a quartz movement. These are usually powered by an AA battery but a cleverer arrangement can be made with a transformer down from 12v to 1.5v, to save guddling about behind the dashboard.It should be a wind up Jaeger,look for the right one […]SHyslop
- Wilks' cars P1 and P2, thats cars up to 1947 • 1937 P2 Front SeatsHi All.Having just acquired my 1937 Rover 12 Sports Saloon I have been checking her over to identify any areas where I might want to make some inprovements. One area is the drivers side front seat.So are the front seat cushions removable separately (i.e. without removing the whole seat/frame) as my drivers side cushion could […]AFPU
