The before breakfast job was an initial check on the brake pivot. Lo and behold, it is a threaded pivot pin and yes it was merely finger tight, or loose. Loctite and a spanner and I can only hope the problem is solved. I am also very grateful that the slight fouling of the bearing gave such audible warning, just a fraction more clearance and the pivot pin could have come out, with unfortunate results. Now all should be ready for the Marches Efficiency Run, on Thursday. The complicated calculations of engine size/weight/nominal hp might see Sevens triumphant. There are still places available, so any Seven owner within reach of Leominster and who can take Thursday off should immediately contact Ian Goddard on iangoddard5@btinternet.com. Following circulation of the recent youtube regarding TV interference, organiser Ian has told us that scrutineers will have plugged a black & white TV into a nearby lamp post to check entrant's suppressors.
