 Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 4:09 pm Post subject: Austin 10 Ash Frame - Plans or Images required for new build |
 |
|
Hi everyone, this is my first post.
I've just acquired an Austin 10 Clifton Tourer which from initial research would appear to be a very late 1934, possibly Nov. The car has been previously dismantled and the interior along with all the ash frame is completely missing, including the doors and dickey seat. My problem (or should I say one of them) is that I have no plans or images for how the frame should look. If anyone can supply and plans, layouts, diagrams or just photographs of the ash frame, I would very much appreciate it. Kind regards, Pete

A bit granny/eggs, but I would counsel joining the relevent owners' club and asking for a member with the same model then comparing notes.
You have probably already done this! |

| Hi Uncle Alec, yes I have sent the forms off to join the Austin 10 Drivers club but that was only last week so still waiting for that to be put in place. Guess I'm jumping the gun because as you say; hopefully they may be able to help. |

What a lot of fun! I suspect that your frame is not far removed from many similar models of the era, so do not limit your research to Austins. Then buy a band saw, a router and a few simple hand tools. Practice ib soft wood to make parts fit the panels etc. By the time you are done you will be in so much demand that you will never have time to drive it!! 
Where abouts are you? I may know folk who can help.

Great project.
It may be me being over-picky, but I forsee adjustment needed to headlamp alignment. |

I'm in Milton Keynes.
I think I'll be able to work out the door frames and I'm not too bad working with wood, I'm just keen to contruct it as true to original as possible. I'm completely in the darkas to where to place the wooden frame that goes accross the car behind the seats. |
