Fitting new bushes to the springs reduced the body roll by a fair bit.

Good news.
A job I need to do

In the 1980s a club member used to market "spring aids" which were had a pointy top which just touched the chassis. Members including myself never had trouble with the MoT because of them. But they were not hollow, I know that because my spare pair got trashed by tools in my toolbox. I once used one...

A trouble with the original bump stops on an Austin 10 when cornered with verve is that the spring and chassis come to a stop with a sudden bump. A solution used by one member is to fit Ford Escort rear bump stops on the front springs of the 10 as in the attached picture. These are bigger and more s...

JGK 453 does not currently showup on ATDC database Last V5 said to be 1996 which indicales last change of owner ...

Today renewed my policy on the Austins. Received a renewal notice last week and had been looking at alternative quotes as price had risen again this year. Closest I could find was 18% more than RH and with severely limited mileage. RH is unlimited mileage. Also my Cambridge is covered for "on the dr...
