Nose trim repair

The drivers side nose trim has a nasty dent in it. I found / purchased some replacement trim recently.

Another +2 spotted

Ran into a fellow +2 owner this afternoon. This is a 1967 model with 36,000 original miles!

Getting ready for winter

I've been fighting a flu for the past few days, so no progress to report.

The Canadian weather is getting cold and car season is almost over. I've been doing some small maintenance tasks on the car: exercising the electric windows and the front headlights to keep them loose.

I will start making a list for 2016 projects soon.

Dialing the engine in

New jets, vacuum leaks fixed, balanced, timing at 14 degs:

Odds & ends

I've purchased a number of 'original' parts recently.

A 4-speed shift knob:

And a Federal seat with headrest:

New soft mounts arrive

The new Weber soft mounts arrived today. Now I can get back to trouble-shooting the idle problem.

Idling problems

The car is starting on the first pull, but the engine will not idle at less than 1100 RPMs. I found a vacuum leak in the headlight system, and blocked off the brake servo, but a clear whistling noise can be heard.

Update: I took the carbs off and found three of the soft mount o-rings have failed (stretched). This is really frustrating since they are brand new - a special order item from the UK. I've ordered new soft mount kits, but they will take a week to get here...
