The second Wednesday of the month is our little gathering at Lakeside Garden Centre, Ellerton, Near Catterick. All being well I will be giving the Pytchley a run out after sorting a few minor teething troubles. The road that runs alongside the A1 would be perfect for working out your gear ratio!
According to the speed tables in the back of Bill Williams book, a 5.25 axle with 19 x 3.50 tyres should give you a top gear road speed of 14.75mph per 1000rpm.
So 45mph equates to about 3000rpm. In top gear in my modern that would be almost 100mph.
