Our classic car Service and Maintenance Manuals and classic car Workshop Manuals cover the period 1930 to 1980, and we aim to add more from other periods soon. We have an agreement to reprint the Pitman's Motoring Library series, very practical manuals on servicing and maintenance, long out of print and commanding high prices today even for old oil-stained copies, We are also compiling highly practical service and workshop manuals on cars for which, so far as we know, full factory manuals were never issued. All our books are POST FREE TO ANYWHERE
IN THE WORLD. We do not charge extra for PayPal, and
no other charges will be added on checkout. The price of the book is
all you pay. You will see from this page heading that Wallage Reprints is now the Wallage Reprints Division of Peter Wallage. This is because the previously three separate entities, Wallage Reprints, Wallage Books and Wallage Picture Library have been merged under the umbrella name of Peter Wallage to simplify administration and accounting. PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL CHEQUES AND POSTAL ORDERS MUST NOW BE MADE PAYABLE TO PETER WALLAGE Thanks for visiting. We hope you enjoy browsing through our website and find things here that interest you.

| Ford Escort Rally Preparation |
 The
works-entered Mk 1 and Mk 2 Escorts were the world's most successful rally
cars with a record that has never been beaten. This is the book about
how they were modified and prepared. Not an outsider's view, this is the
real nitty-gritty, nut by nut and bolt by bolt story written by Charles
Reynolds, Ford's Competitions Co-ordinator, with research by Mick Jones
and works driver Henry Inurrieta. This is the inside story, straight from
the Ford rally workshops at Boreham, of all the secrets learned in the
unforgiving field of international rallying. It was originally published
in a limited edition by Ford Motor Company, circa 1980, to help private
rally entrants build 'works' replicas. It was out of print for years but
has been reset and reprinted by us in A4 form with many of the photographs
remade from copies in Ford's archives. Please note: This book does NOT
cover preparation of engines as these varied depending on individual rally
regulations. A4, 156 pages, over 120 line drawings and photographs. Soft covers. ISBN 9781 84147 0009 Price £14.95 POST FREE. |

| Overhauling the Clayton Dewandre Vacuum Brake Servo 1920s & 1930s |
 Overhaul
Manual for Clayton Dewandre Vacuum Brake Servos. Before the advent of
today's compact vacuum brake servos for hydrualic brakes, many large cars
and commercials fitted the quite large underfloor Clayton Dewandre servo
for mechanical brakes. Information on overhauling these servos is not
easy to find, but we have compiled this book from material first published
in the early 1930s. As far as we know it is the only book dealing with
overhauling these units. It covers stripping, renewing seals and gaskets
and setting up. Invaluable to anyone with a Vintage car or commercial
vehicle using this system. A4, 19 pages 19 illustrations Soft covers. ISBN 9781 184147 0511 Price £4.95 POST FREE. |

A
reprint of The Book of the Ford 8 originally published by Sir Isaac Pitman
and Sons in 1935. It went through six editions up to 1959. This is a reprint
of the sixth edition, reset and remastered by us to A4 size. It covers
every aspect of servicing and maintaining these immensely popular little
cars, the 'upright' Ford 8 that put thousands of British families on the
road.
A
reprint of The Book of the MG Midget. This was originally published by
Sir Isaac Pitman and Sons in 1967. It has been reset and remastered by
us to A4 size. It deals with every aspect of servicing and maintaining
MK I, MK II and Mk III Midgets up to 1967.
A
reprint of the 1958 edition of The Book of the Morris Eight and Morris
Minor. This was originally published in 1935 by Sir Isaac Pitman and Sons
and went through seven editions. It has been reset and remastered by us
to A4 size. It deals with all aspects of servicing and maintaining these
small Morris cars from the original overhead camshaft Minor of 1931, through
the Eight and 'Series' Eight to the completely redesigned early post-war
Minor Minor. It will be valuable to anyone with one of these cars, particularly
the early overhead camshaft Minors for which information is not easy to
find.
A
reprint of the owner's instruction book for the Vauxhall 12hp and 14hp
six-cylinder models first published by Vauxhall Motors. It has been reset
and remastered by us to A4 size. Maker's instruction books in the 1930s
were different from those issued today. In the 1930s, car owners were
expected to carry out more maintenance and servicing of their cars than
is the case today. While this is not a workshop manual and does not cover
major overhauls, it covers all the points necessary for servicing and
working on these cars to keep them in good running order.
Covers
Luvax-Bijur, Ripault (Alcycl) and Tecalemit automatic lubrication systems.1930s
service schedules often called for chassis lubrication every 500 miles
or so. This was unpopular with owners, and frequently neglected. Accessory
and component firms responded with centralised lubrication systems, some
automatic and some calling for pushing down a pedal every morning. Service
information on these sysems is not easy to find, so to help owners of
1930s cars we have compiled this book from a number of sources published
in the 1930s. Owners of cars fitted with these systems will welcome this
book. Because the material comes from different sources, there is inevitably
some duplication of the popular Luvax Bijur system, but we have not attmpted
to edit these into one one account.
