I have just read through Falcott's thread on this subject and found myself increasingly embarassed by my lack of understanding . I didn't used to be this dumb but I can only plead advancing years.

My RN (October 1932) that thinks it is an RP was modified back in the mists of time to have a Semi-Girling front axle complete with the revised the cross-shaft, but it has a standard 1932 rear brakes. I am not sure how I should ensure some compatibilty but it has seemed to work OK in the 7 Years I have had the car.

My question relates to the discussion in Falcott's thread about the angle of the lever on the front. A couple of people have commented that the levers are set to far back on my car and that this reduces the effectiveness when braking. I can see that that makes some sense?!!?

Please can someone view the attached pic of the offside S-G front brake and give me advice. The hand-brake is fully applied. I am happy to replace the cable etc. with adjustable type and will be fully servicing the system.

Any advice welcome   -  I hope everybody is well and making use of the good weather.

Cheers

Dave



   

A friend recently spotted this when passing through Disley.  It is on display at a local garage there.  

Anyone know the car, please?

Coincidentally with Robert's RN, has anyone a repairable pair, or even one, Front Wings to suit a '31 RN? 
Asking for a friend.
TIA.

An RN saloon that has been off the road since 1960 and in my ownership since 1998.
Never been restored, even the driver's Moseley float on air still holds air. It even has the car number stencilled under the bonnet. 
  Very solid and the engine turns freely. It was missing the windscreen but I have all the parts to make a correct one. I would like someone to NOT restore it and sympathetically get it running again. It has a non transferable V5 in my name. 
   The price is £3,500.  PM for more information.

Hi, I'm looking for a 1932 accelerator pedal (with dog for hand throttle) if any one can help?

Many Thanks 
Dave

Seven sevens at Ripon racecourse today. Three Rubys, two box and two specials.

   

Self explanatory I hope - hoping to fit an MA speedo but one nut is missing - anyone know what thread it is?

M4 perhaps?

I've exhausted the odds & sods box and found nothing which will go on properly; Google likewise unhelpful.

I have a 1930 Chummy with a 1934 engine, high compression head and L86C Champion plugs.
I don’t do many miles but on the last couple of runs of less than 5 miles one or more have failed. Definitely plug failure as I’ve done the screwdriver to block test to check. Today I replaced 2 and 3. Previously it was number 4. 
Timing might be on the over advanced side but when the plugs are good it runs and pulls nicely.
Any thoughts on possible causes or alternative plugs would be welcomed
