Tamsin, Ashley and their families have just told me the sad news that Dave Tedham passed away a few hours ago.

They would like his friends to know, please do tell those who knew him. I will post details of the funeral when I know.

If you wish to contact Tamsin and Ashley please message me and I will pass on their address to you.

Dave helped me finish my first car, the red Ulster. I plan to take it out this afternoon and remember him in a way he would have enjoyed.

Lots of stories about him and Hilary are filling my head, feel free to share them here and I will ensure his family see them.

Sleep well, Dave!

   

Hi,

I was looking at a girling brake drum in my workshop and wondering what it would take to fit on a standard brake setup. I always thought the issue was it fitting in the wheel but I tried a wheel centre and the only issue I could see was the spokes might foul the fin. It looks like the braking surface would be in the wrong place and a spacer may be required.

Has anyone fitted girling brake drums on a standard setup

Thanks

A good friend got conned today, please spread this far and wide.

   

I know Hub Removal has been on earlier threads but I'm just having a check of understanding as I think I'm using the correct tool and correct procedure.

I'm on the front axle and have removed the outer hub using the extractor.  Once clear, I removed the split pin and nut and the outer bearing and distance piece slid off the shaft.  But this is where I'm now stuck: I've replaced the outer hub and wheel nuts and tried again with the extractor but the inner hub will not shift; the more I tighten the extractor, the more distortion I will create in the hub casting.

So... Do I need to start using a hammer?  If so, where is best to hit?  Or have I missed something?

Grateful for your advice on this please?

Chris

I know this has been covered before but...

My pal has a Big 7 and when the thing was altered to 12v the P/O failed to do anything to the 6v wiper motor. Could someone kindly tell me what resistor is needed and how it should be fitted - any pics would be v welcome.

Many thanks

These two have just appeared on Facebook, the RP being JT 1017 and on the Chassis Register when last in UK - 750MC. The guy posting the photos is helping a friend settle a family estate and find a new home for the Sevens - they're on Rhode Island, USA. - DVLA shows no trace of JT 1017 a Dorset 1934 registration.

Hi Everyone. Anyone got a copy of " Wragg's Racers" for sale? Cheers, Steve 07974644023 or sfingarage@hotmail.com

I believe that someone introduced compensation for the rear brakes by using a single cable with a swivel plate similar to the coupled front brake and ran the cale over two pulleys to bring the cables into alignment with the rear brake levers.  Can anyone find the  post that showed a photo of this set  ups please?
