Postwar 170V & 170D / 1951 170 Va build

« Last post by Fast Ed on July 15, 2018, 09:53:13 PM »

I'm working on a 1951 170 C7412/51 13692302623/51

Can someone answer these questions?

1-What was the original engine color

2-What were the fasteners plated?

3-When installing the head with a new head gasket- should i use any gasket sealer? If so, what kind is best?

Thanks!

Thanks Ted,
It was turned out nice.

I would like to add:
- Strip the thread on the NUT to avoid the Nut raising up (breaking up welding spot) when turning.
- if the stud still has some room, cut as a (screw driver) slot on top of stud, perhaps remove 1/2 Dia stud (dip as screw driver slot) allowed welding material to fill in.
- Heating up Mounting studs area well...

All these would help the Welding spot more reliable.
...don't have to see Machine Shop...

Thanks again,
John C N.

Dear John,

I made one myself, from oak wood, darkened and oiled. Will send you some pics later.
The replicas from niemoeller are really bad. Simply a 2D cut-out, and not even close to original hand made version ;-)
If you are interested I'll do one (a copy of the one I did for my own 170S) for you. 75 Euro + shipping (from Sweden).

Please send a pm, or simply reply in the tread :-)

Wishing you a nice day!

Thomas
