Finished a number of fiddly jobs on my 1930 Chummy, and I'm now about halfway now to getting it back to as it should be. The assembly of the screen was a 4-hour struggle as various curves and fittings refused to line up. It's still not 100%, but as near as it ever will be, I think. Fitted new rear brake linings and adjusted everything - I now have a turnbuckle on the NS rear which makes things easier. Took it for a run and all seems OK; the drums were all just slightly warm and the brakes effective. One good point; previously, upon letting the clutch in, there was a most disturbing "k-klonk", as though a key or something similar in the transmission had broken. It turned out, thank goodness, to be nothing more than a loose silencer. Now to tackle (or have tackled) a complete re-trim.
