Thanks guys, I've had some phone calls and a lot of emails back and forth with Robert Olds who has sent me a lot of historical information, very interesting reading about Robert Huxtable from the USA and his visits to Australia and the Curved Dash Oldsmobile carburettors that Olds Engineering are still making today in Queensland.
If anyone is interested, I can email the info to you.
Would you please!?!?

I really liked your solution for the burner holder.
And, a wonderful job on the video (the icing on the cake).
Great to see you in a position to work on projects again. Good for the Soul.
Cheers,
Charlie

I was just watching this on youtube and realized it hasn’t arrived... Is it stuck in customs?

Bummer 😂 Keep an eye out for another one ;)
I spoke to Robert Olds a few months before Christmas and he said they had a few for sale. I know from correspondence with Ronald Walters that he bought one of them.
