I recently bought a basket case Super Wasp. A bored 16 year old pulled a lot of it to bits. Ive searched but havent found a lot re the 54 Wasp. Found the 52-54 body book and a few brochures. There seems to be more info available on the 1937 models than 54 models. Can some of the Wasp owners pls share some info and point me in the right dierction. Thanks, Barry

    Barry, any year of stepdown shop manual will get you a long way with your 54.



    I have 2 brand new 54 windscreens I'm unlikely to use, and a few bits of stainless, instrument pod etc.



    I know of a rebuilder twin lever overdrive box for a 54 that may be available. With today's highway speeds, either an overdrive or a better rear axle ratio than the standard 4.11 is pretty well essential.

    Hey Barry I also have a 54 super Wasp. If you need some reference pics let me know. Mine is not "cherry" but it's all there. Good luck.

    P.S. most all the 52 and 53 manuals have info that pertains to the car.
