Hello everyone, I am new here, but having just bought a J2, I thought I better join - seems like a great place to ask questions.. ! The first of which concerns...
Scott: The headlamp shells normally fitted to J2's are the common eight inch shells fitted to MG TD's and many other cars. Allard seems to have fitted mostly ...
Scott, Following Dean Butler's information I would make a number of points; 1. Sealed beam units were not available in the UK when the J2 was manufactured,...
Hi DEAN The J2 Allard does have side lights in front mudguards - thecable runs inside the mudguard stay .The front wheel often rubbed through the rubber ...
Jim: Yes, of course there are side lights in the mudguards. I think the writer was saying his car had the "bullet" type (as on an MG TD) on TOP of his wings -...
Re. sealed beams vs. replaceable bulbs: I think the replaceable bulb type headlamps were illegal every where in the USA (or at least in most states) throughout...
Hi there David, Thanks very much for the information, it's a great help - and yes, I would be very interested to see the photos you have the Le Mans J2. Please...
Hello Dean, Great information, thank you. Now that I know what to look for will do some scouting to see if I can find some. Regarding the hub bearings, I...
One of the best Ford parts suppliers is Bob McConnell's Gaslight Auto of Urbana, Ohio. You can probably find what you need via Google, if not, let me know. ...
Hello Fellas, Phila. Ball Bearing., in Pottstown, Pa . can match up just about any bearing you could need. I live relatively close to Pottstown. If I can...
The correct fitment for these is the Lucas 489 unit as fitted to very the early Morris Minor.These have a much smaller lens than the 488 which was a fitment to...
Tom I missed the article, what color was the Allard? Boy did you miss a great time in Charleston, I think the Lanes' topped everyone with their hospitality. ...
!!/05/07 Gentlemen; I don't have a parts # so I laid these Lucas warn lights on my Scanner. I doubt if my K3 is the only Allard that uses these lights. My...
Hello Jack, If memory serves me correctly, I believe the lamps should be wired in paralell ,rather than in series. The line out of the switch should feed the...
Of course you are correct - the bulb should not be in series with the fuel pumps. What is the light even supposed to indicate? Also, the light will act as a...
That light that you show is an ignition warnong light used on pre war Austins etc. It should be wired netween the IG terminal (white coil lead) and the D...
Jack: You are almost certainly correct in saying this is probably an ignition warning light. However, it should be pointed out that the same type of lamp was...
This model is used specifically for the charging circuit. Hence the resistance wire winding. There are others that are the same from the front with green glass...
11/06/07 Gentlemen ; What I failed to say in my note of 11/05/07 was that each of the two pump systems (and the lights) have been operating as I discribed very...
Why not take the bulb out and see? It cannot be there as a supply surely? The obvious source of supply is from the ignition switch or the fused side of the...
Check the continuity through the lamp circuit with the bulb removed. If you still have continuity, then the bulb is wired in parallel. Dean _____ From:...
Why would anyone want to run a fuel pump through a indicator light anyway? I can see no possible benefit. It is either a mistake or an incorrect assumption of...
I have in my files a letter, dated 7th of May, 1964, on Allard Motor Co., Ltd. stationary, from a person named D. R. Hooper who identifies himself as Chief...

Andy, I'm not sure whether I'm at issue with you or David on the sidelight issue. Having read your posting I had a good look at the Lush book, Kinsella's, Gold...
Roger, Perhaps the export J2 and J2X Allards had different side lamps . The side lamps on my 1950 J2 and 1950 K2 have frosted lenses, and are slightly domed,...

The original Morris lenses were lightly frosted on the inside. I am not sure if this is what some of you refer to as "clear." The only truly clear lenses I...
Hi My K2 has the rectangular one in the rear, one is missing, do you know were to get one. I mite have a round red glasses spare, the small dome, if some body...
The rectangular lamps were used on many cars. For example, MG TD's had these from 1950 through 1952. Any MG parts supplier, such as Moss Motors, should have...
The MG and the other cars as the Vauxhall has the same glass. The Allards has 2 bulb inside, one single contact and the other 2 contacts. I installed on the...
