I took the Pytchley special out for another test run today, having set the brakes up yesterday. As soon as I left my drive the heavens opened but i persevered. No rainwater leaks and the Lucas electrical wiper motor worked, albeit slowly. I seem to recall that these get faster once they have been going for a while?
Only problem is the handbrake catching on the front U/J of the Hardy Spicer propshaft. I had a similar problem on the RL saloon. I can't remember whether I loosened the rear engine mounts and pushed the engine over to the N/S a bit or whether I took a spacer out of the handbrake ratchet to move it over to the right a bit.
