◊ Restoration Projects: 1 ½ Litre Sedan; Ross Rasmus: Doing a conversion to install different shockers. This is a trial and error with fitment.

The conversion will be different to a 3 ½ on the rear as you only need to go aroundone exhaust.

Chasing an oil filter for a 1 ½.

◊ A new addition to the Fletcher garage. Car is on the way via many cities in Australia.

◊ A bonus of another car is his insurance went down.

◊ After some research Bob believes his is the only 1939 SS 1 ½ in Australia. ◊ The Melbourne All British Day is still on and will be held on the 20th of February. ◊ Bruce has been rebuilding some water pumps but has trouble getting the correct size bearings for the shaft so the next thing to do is machine the shaft down.

◊ The Vintage Sports Car SA Run in the Adelaide Parklands is on the 20th of March for those not listening. ◊ Anthony Linnet who is a guru for the tools on early Jags has checked

Andrew Hayes toolbox on the ex-

Jeremy Cordeaux Mk4. Four tools are incorrect so they will try to rectify this. ◊ Bob’s SS 1 ½ has four incorrect tools as well.

◊ Brenton showed some photos of early runs for members to determine places and dates. There was much discussion after this of old runs/ people of the club. ◊ General Discussion
