I have a couple of niggling issues and they've either not been asked, or my ability to search the forum leaves something to be desired. She's a 1944 Morris CS8 GS 15 cwt.
first off: oil. I've been told the 30 weight Morris oil is a good choice, but I have also been told that the leak may be to do with the fact the oil Ian my thick enough as it becomes like water under heat. Any suggestions?
Secondly. The paintwork. There are a few spots of surface rust. If I was to sand this down and genolite any bad patches and then I was to paint over those spots would it be glaringly obvious or would the paint blend in??
Thirdly, the battery. She has a normal car battery in and the dynamo is only sending a slight charge. I initially thought no charge was being sent, but checked and when she is given some throttle a small charge is sent, but nothing when ticking over. Any suggestions on this? Also, would she benefit from a truck battery?
Thabks in advance.
