VICKERS MK6B's resto

It will be of course spring loaded and I am waiting on my new throttle cable to connect to my newly fitted linkage. Even though it is hydraulic, I still want the benefit of an accelerator pedal for speed as well as the tillers.

.... I am always amazed at all the things that you have designed, fabricated and installed.....

And yes that removable bottom cover to do oil changes will be appreciated in the months to come....... n hope that it is a better design than the 261 Chev engine that I transplanted in the C15a.... the plug is directly in line with the front driveshaft and I have to use a section of sheet metal to flow the oil in the basin. It would have been so easy to modify the oil pan drain location when I rebuilt the engine....... now I just live with it.

Yup in January I will stop washing.......and be a dirty old man!!!!!!

Keep up the good work.

Either stop moaning Bob or tell everyone how much you love changing the oil in your modern Ford. Sideways pointing plug and if the lateral jet doesn't get you, the spray as it hits undercarriage parts will. You would have thought they could have learned how to set up for oil changes sometime in the lase 80 years or so....

I'm making a copy of the hand brake mechanism with I will have the lever connect to a hyd port so it will operate the same. And a pic or my loyal mans best friend who shadows me everywhere

I'm probably creating work for myself that is not really necessary but it just feels appropriate.

[colin jones]

There is a lot of small parts that will never be seen but it's just part of the process.

All that's left is the internal spring loaded stop locator which will be half a day I'm sure
