Blown Ulster

[Stuart Giles]

William Wilson seemed delighted at the attention the car attracted. George Vallender was mentioned amongst other previous owners and drivers. Whilst my snappy camera lacks the capacity of an editorial Gandolfi, to the photos above can I add the front brake linkage. No doubt the brains of the forum will immediately identify what it is, but none of us managed it today. M. Vallender may indeed have used it for circuit racing but I can find no entry by him at Shelsley.

To me the braking setup looks to be based on Big Seven backplates mounted upside down with a cable linkage replacing the Big Seven's original axle beam mounted linkage.
