Aston Martin. 15/98 New exhaust.
Many years ago myself and Charlotte mechanically rebuilt this car from a pile of stripped parts under a rotted tarpaulin. Here it is enjoying the recent sunshine, showing off it’s lovely and proper exhaust made by Ecurie Bertelli Aston Martin specialists.
Wolseley Spl Winter Work 2022 / 2023
Here is s short compilation of some of our work on the Wolseley Hornet over the winter months.
We had hoped to have driven and tested the car in the autumn, but unfortunately when we came to put oil in the replacement gearbox, it poured out via the bell housing. At the same time a new crank and cam that had been on back order became available. This package will allow us to run a different firing order that seems to be more suitable for racing.
And so it seemed to make sense to change the crank and cam whilst we attended to the gearbox problem instead of running the car with the standard firing order for the coming season and then changing over next year (as always planned). It is a bit trickier to change the crank without everything stripped off of the block, but it is still possible. Of course another new crank and cam is bound to raise some anomalies, we did have to make some cam bearings and readjust followers and make new securing dowels. The cam drive will be different which will require some alteration.
At the same time we took the opportunity to complete some things off the "to do" list, including king pins and the making of two special oversize shackle pins...
