1961 Skoda Octavia Restoration-Advice Needed!

Featured Replies

Hello! i've bought a 1961 right hand drive Skoda Octavia; an earlier version, with a bench seat, a column change selector and a handbrake on the left side of the car! It's a G-R-E-A-T car, and although it's not started since 2004, it did, this afternoon, fire-albeit with four new spark plugs and a goodly dose of easy-start!

I've bought a workshop manual for the car and I was a mechanic in an earlier life, having done my City and Guilds training with a local Volkswagen dealer, so I'm fairly au fait with how to set up the ignition system. My question is: does anyone know the appropriate dwell angle reading for a Skoda Octavia Super? I've bought a new set of points and want to set them very accurately! 

 

While I'm here, does anyone know where to obtain the headlight lenses (the "symmetrical" ones) for a Skoda Octavia?
