Thank you for this video. Dave from Discovery Channel's Vegas Rat Rods.I just picked up a 1947 Servi car.

Hi Dave - nice pickup on the servi-car, from memory we've only had a couple come through the workshop in the last 15 years.

Hahaha, "just change parts till it aint broke no more"

[@theworkshopuk]

Yeah that's one way I guess!

[@alfiedog2942]

Question for Ash . With his vast amount of knowledge of the WLA , would he ever consider buying one (if he hasn’t already own one ?) or recommend buying one ?

I wish id been able to watch all this before i did this on my wlc. Defiantly going to have another crack at it. Not feeling as confident on the bottom end tho

[@theworkshopuk]

Go for it and if you have any questions just let us know!

You should consider to record all your sessions in a dvd for sale…

[@theworkshopuk]

Think that might be a bit old school (but thanks for the suggestion!)

[@edpazikas8777]

@@theworkshopuk certainly, but everything is about old school here. I am one of those who would buy such a DVD.

[@edpazikas8777]

Hi Rie-Store, I see you use copper gaskets on the heads, is it better than the original NOS gaskets? If so, why? Thank you.

I also noticed that Ash answered about the speedometer lights, there is another setup for the lightning from back in the day, I can share with you a picture showing how it is on my bike. If you want to see it, then please let me know how to share a picture. Thank you! Ed
