Morning Riley, I'm collecting the last bits on Saturday so I can get everything back together again. The freewheel needed some attention, there was a a bit of an oil leak from the output shaft, the cork seal had perished, now no longer available, the freewheel housing has now been reworked to accept...

Good morning all, Now the evenings are drawing in and the weather is less conjucive to driving a tourer I am gathering the knowledge to remove the clutch and steering box of my1936 tourer.

Thank you for your memories Tony, I have had her up to 70 mph, quite fast enough as far as I am concerned. There is a file with the car that also has a photo of the second owner, (son of the first one) and David Moseley managed to track down a family member of the original family and she wtote a let...

Thank you for that David, once the bits are in after the New Year I'll have a go, the access is not the greatest but I'll figure something out.
