Just noticed that the car park charge for the show is £12 booked in advance; but £16 on the day! Thought you might like to know if thinking of attending. May be cheaper to go on the train and park at a local station for free. Makes for a very expensive day out.

"I have four really good 15 inch A7 wheels (with radial tyres). These are wider than normal A7 but not by all that much - rears are wider than the front and the rims are West London style or at least I think they are. Tyres are 15 x 125 and 15 x 135. £350

Note the rear and front wheels are spoked differently. They have been powder coated or painted silver but could do with touching up here and there. Tyres have excellent tread and are all matching Firestone 560's."

Neither of my cars with split/two piece screens (1927 AD & 1932 AG) came wit a seal between top& bottom panes. These are available (thanks to cherished etc suppliers!) but do they fit to the upper (moveable) or lower (fixed) screen?
My guess is to the fixed, but what do I know! Rinkens photos are ambivalent!

I'm hoping somebody can help me over the issue of the washer which is supposed to go between rear hub inner and the bearing.  

I'm putting together an axle from bits and don't have any washers to look at. The question I guess is whether they are needed or not?   I seem to remember that they are needed to ensure correct fit of bearing in hub, but can't find confirmation of this. What I can't establish is whether the washer fits between hub and bearing or is it between bearing centre and axle casing? Obviously it can only fit tightly between one of the two!

I am using sealed bearings so leakage of oil/grease not an issue here. 

See Cornwall site for line drawing - unfortunately too low res to answer the question.

Sorry for wordy post.  Seeking guidance thanks..

Damian.

Hi all,
As its a Sunday it gives me a bit of time to do you all a revue on Hershey swap meet.

For those of you who don't know about Hershey, it's always been put forward as the largest car show in the world. ( well everything is bigger in America ).

It runs from Wednesday to saterday, but many many people attend from Tuesday as this is the set up day, often were many of the bargains are picked up.

If anyone can post an overhead pic of the event, please do so. As I couldn't get that high to show the true size of the event.

Hershey is aprox a 2 1/2 hour drive in from Newark airport for us. And is held in the carparks of the famous Hershey chocolate factory. So nowadays it's all hard standing.

Cost of entry is FREE if you are on foot, but not many people are close enough to do that. Or be dropped of, so for most people there is a car parking charge of $15 a day just across the road. You can have as many people in the car as you want. A system that works well.

Hershey can be hit or miss the first time you go, you either love the sheer diversity of everything, or if your interest is a lot narrower you may not get it.

Time for some pics, as there is rearly any austin 7 interest here. here are a couple of bantams.

Would this suit a Grasshoper Replica?
