Further information on the technical set up of the car - all fitted some years ago.
A sports ratio C/W & P supplied by David Cochrane, a 4 speed close ratio gearbox overhauled by Vince Leek, Austin off-set brake shoes with Seven Workshop 'soft' grey linings. Standard Ruby road springs were supplied by my father, the front one has heat shrink fitted - rears are simply painted.
The sports ratio box and rear axle are perfect for touring in a heavily loaded (heavy) car, in my opinion.
Rear tyres are Waymaster, fronts are Longstone.
I have 12v LED flashers fitted all around (the 12v is supplied by a 6-12v converter that fits neatly inside the fuse box cover on the bulkhead), all other bulbs are 6v filament type.
