It's an Albion gearbox: 3 forward-1 reverse, belt input-chain output,clutch operated by hand lever,gear change by lever.I fell over this in the garage looking for some parts for Ian.[=5048:P1020107.JPG]
Good idea :hide: Look at all the tax revenue the treasury is losing by all the uninsured car driivers about. How can we possibly pay MP's saleries & expenses without something like this
Your relying on two mugs,sorry,passengers, being available at the same time to keep it balanced!
If the driver/pilot/? sits on one of the outside seats he would be able to see to steer when in wheely mode,it would need those steering brakes though,and blindfolds for the passengers!
So you could be back to zero steer with casters on the seat backs.
Renewing bearings on the BCS flail, pics of the drive pulleys, no keys, the bore of the pulley & the outside of the centre piece have matching tapers,the screws pull the two together very tightly. I assume no keys to allow shock absorption by slipping . I wonder if something like this may help prevent the taperlock breakages you are suffering ? With a lathe I would think they would not be too difficult to makeif an immovable object is encountered
Back again, General Lee has been recovered (again) by the RAC. Bryan came round for advice. I asked the question and came away with a propshaft with duff u/j's
The chap with the Reliant can't use a phone let alone a computer, When he was busking,people would film him and put it on yt. You may find his clips easier by "Googling" "sawman" instead of searching in yt. There are I think a half dozen clips. He goes under the alias of "Bryan Brynn" he thinks the taxman will be after him! You wouldn't believe it but he makes anything from £25 to £70 in an hour. people probably pay him to go away.
These are the wheels and tyres I was going to use for the axle, I suddenly remembered I had them,fell over an old engine and snowblower to get at them, You may guess where they came from by the lot numbers! the wheels I think came off a late old type Mini 12" with a reinforcing plate on the back.
We saw a similar thing to your last 2 pics on the way to the cambs show, only it was an austin/morris 1100 at the side of the road cooling down. Great pics!
sorry Ian, no. The axle came off the robin my neighbor had,it caught fire,he kept the prop for a spare for his latest car - General Lee - in the reliant robin post on here. I was thinking of building a three wheel Bonsor type truck for the stables so he gave me the axle, I will ask him if he has any old props kicking around when I see him.I think he was going to weigh in the remains of the engine and gearbox,it is down at my friends farm, If I can get to it before he does I'll take off the drive flange from the box, it maybe of some use to you.
