I managed to take the Saw apart and found a broken Hacksaw Blade inside.
After taking the Saw apart, I found a Broken Hacksaw Blade, as used by the previous owner.
Following on from Daim's advice, I tried the kind of Blade he recommended, which is the grey one at the Top of the Photo, which came out of an Electric Sabre Saw.
It fitted absolutely perfect and was so much better that the flimsy Hacksaw Blade used by the Previous Owner.
So I went to my Local Diy Store and bought a lot more of the same, which will increase its versatility as I have got an Air Line, which is long enough so I can use it to prune all the Trees in my Garden, as well as using it as a normal Wood Saw.
You can but it isn't worth it. Technically you'd be fine with a T tire as you won't ever get the German speeds there. I'd always replace two tires though. Just is a better idea. Keep the other good one for your spare and get two proper tires.
Otherwise, if they are the same size and same type of profile (symmetrical/asymmetrical and also winter/summer) then there is no real issue.
The only reason I'm asking is I found a Brand New Pirelli P600 the right size and its a 'W' rating and my other Tyres are 'V' rating and wanted to keep things legal.
So although I will Probably keep it as a Spare, the ideal Scenario would be to find another New one to go with it, as this one was well under £200.
I'll just do what Warrjon said, use it and enjoy it but it still authentically goes off tune just like the 1960's version may have done.
G'day OB. Sorry to backtrack mate but I'd just thought I'd show you my father's Bush Retro radio (he only picked it up a few years ago new). Also it looks different again on the top. I want one too now!
P.S whilst we are on the subject of retro I picked up this old suitcase a while ago....hoping she will fit in the boot of my XJS for my next road trip!
That Radio looks very similar to mine but not sure if its an earlier or later model.
Having now got one of these myself, I've started seeing quite a few in various Antique and Curio Shops, so probably not quite as rare as what I was thinking and all of them seemed to be in the £20-£30 price range.
But whatever their scarcity value, they do look kind of Cool in their own way as well as the perfect accessory to go with your XJS.
I don't use a dedicated air tool oiler. I merely squirt some into the air intake fitting, when hooking up. OK for my occasional use. Might not be for steady use in a commercial shop.
My electric chain saws have been getting a work out. They have resevoirs and a "squirt bulb" lid. I squirt a lot as I cut. Keeps the blade sharp. A bit messy in the innards, though. Oily saw dust!!!
