Today being Armistice/Remembrance Sunday, like Tony Betts, I took my '34 RP Lulu to the village commemoration (St Tudy Cornwall), where she was very much appreciated and admired,and was told 'how nice to see a more appropriate car', even though she was not around for some 16years after WW1!
I sadly didnt manage to photograh the scene. Did anyone else attend a similar ceremony in their seven?
The (temporary 3 bearing ) engine currently sounds like a sack of old spanners, and is making a noise like a Gatling gun under all load conditions. Having rebuilt the bottom end less than 60 miles ago, I'm suspecting the camshaft is floating excessively fore and aft, and needs a better solution to restrain it than the square headed bolt.
Any wisdom gratefully received -now going out to set the tappets on the 2 bearing replacement!
Cheers
Bob
