My 1929 Special (standard Chummy chassis) has recently started to develop a worrying noise on over-run at top speed (45-50). It occurs as the throttle is lifted, and on long downhill stretches of road.
Noises are notoriously difficult to describe, but this sounds likeĀ two components rubbing together combined with a boy running a stick (qickly) alongĀ a garden railliing!!!
I think I have isolated it to the gearbox/front transmission by taking the car out of gear at 50mph on a long downhill dual carriageway and turning the engine off - it's definitely not the engine.
All ideas and comments welcome.
