Last photo. Here is the unit assembled and you can see the space between the house and the ring gear.
Last summer I was on a rally on the west coast of Norway (where the Fjords are). A trip over the mountain of 500 km. (320 miles) I could very simple follow the regular traffic.
In april last year I come in contact with Jim Berkner, who instructed me how to do this operation. With an electric hand grinder I removed some metal from the inside of the case where the ring gears goes.
On this photo you can see how the ring gear is stuck – no space to turn around. Nobody had told me how to do it – that I had to remove som metal on the inside of the case. In fact I gave up and assembled the old original gear set.
Here you can see the differences of the two pinion gears. The big one is the high speed gear.
There has been earlier much discussion about the the High Speed Rear End Gears. I some years back bought the gears from Phil Hill. In fact I visited him in Santa Monica together with Irvind Blonder in 1989. Even an amateur as me can assemble that after some advice. I did it last april in my own garage (photo).
Another try!
Every bolts were restored on my car. Here is the gas instrument “under the knife””. A micro thin metal wire was broken. We in fact managed to soldier (?) them together by using another wire as a bridge. The instrument is working perfectly”
Couple of more photos of the restauration of my car. Here the generator.
It is still cold…

Hello Boys, Norway calling…
Here is a photo of the rear body with “some”” rust. We could use some of it. The rear fenders were very solid – no problem! The rear body was stocked outdoor for more than 20 years.”
Ready to start up…?
Here are two photos of the (norwegian) engine 1981. At last brought into the garage.
OK, Ed. Here is a photo of my car in 1956-57 on the shore of one of the norwegian fjords. I shall check my scrap book and forward some more.
Her is the car today!
To post a photo of our car was a nice idea! Here is my car in 1932. The photo was taken on an ice race on the lake at Lillehammer (Olympic Winther Games in 1994)in Norway. The small man in the middle was the owner at that time, Andreas Robsahm.
Hi Bob,
1941? This was quite new for me. Was there any more cars built after 1938?
