The clutch release bearing has made a whizzing noise for the past couple of thousand miles, so I pulled the engine and box.

Firstly, I found out why I have to double de clutch up and down between third and top…I hadn’t noticed before, it has a crash box, so I’ll have to search out a synchro box.

Secondly, and more mystifying is that the bearing has no play in it and is absolutely quiet when I spin it…could it still be worn out?

The learned council of experienced A7 friends will be grateful received and faithfully applied!

No doubt that many hours and much expense were indeed spent building this, but the text claims: "..many painstakingly, perfection led hours" It always puzzles me why, with so much data available and original cars to view, people make parts that differ from the original i.e. not "perfection-led". e.g. the touring wings on this car would have been custom-made and look vaguely correct - yet differ considerably in profile from originals - and there is a lot else wrong as well. Mind you, the text is as amusing as ever.

NOW SOLD

A custom built, unbraked, two-wheel trailer ideally suited to carrying a Chummy or other A7 on 19" wheels (any smaller diameter might make clearances a bit tight). I've had it for just over a year and only used it a few times. The trailer is not plated but is well built and more than capable of taking the weight of an A7.

On being acquired the trailer was painted, fitted with new wheels and tyres, new rear stays, new jockey wheel, new safety chain, new number plate spring clips. It tows beautifully and is very easy to move by hand when unloaded.

O/A length: Approx 4.2m
O/A width: Approx 1.62m
Bed length: Approx 3m
Bed width: Approx 1.2m

P.S. Reason for sale - A couple of weeks ago I purchased a four year old Woodford LWT-021 1300kg trailer to replace this one. It's great, but I have found it is 4" too wide to get into my workshop (I know, schoolboy error in not measuring it first!) so I shall be moving it on as well. In perfect working order. Will be £1400. Let me know if interested.

Just happened to notice that we now have over 100,000 posts on this forum. Amazing.

Hi
I have a calormeter, that I want to use for my car but it is too short for the long neck radiator.
It is possible to extend the tube to reach into the water ?

   

thanks, Oliver
