Ian

First things first, a big thank you to Chris for sending me this steering box for use on Why Not.. Thanks mate The question is.. What's it from? Both Chris an I have no idea! Made by Cam Gears Ltd.. Numbers stamped everywhere.. Note the upside down M to the left of the square plate. The top. From my research this make of steering box were used in Austin A35's, a few MG's and a Morgan... But what's really throwing me out is the double lever arm!! I've never seen one of those before! Any ideas Guy's?

It's always sad to see a machine go, but on the bright side you could fit 2 Bolens in the space the Ferrari took up

That's a great find Chris, even though I don't have a need for a flail these days I still miss the one I had years ago.. They are just so satisfying to use

Great photo's Charlie, it looks like you had a fun day Any more details on the motor tricycles? I agree Koen

Wow, a year old already! How time fly's!! Still, a year from starting to test driving is quite good for me Not much to report, Thursday WN went back up on the bench something my back is very much regretting! Even though there were three of us lifting! So I spent Thursday doing some gentle paint stripping and knocking out a few dents. I managed to get a bit more done yesterday, the fender pan this time. as you can see the fender pan does not quite reach the foot plates! Some more recycling, this was part of a Spear and Jackson sign. Two plates tacked on.. Both sides done and on the bench to be fully welded. As you can see a little trimming of length is needed.. If all goes to plan and my back sorts it's life out I should have the fender pan finished Monday just in time for a new steering box to turn up that Chris has kindly sent me... Thanks mate

Dunsfold would be cool

It's looking good Alain, I bet it was fun getting the spray gun into some of those nooks and cranny's... The "gallows pole" that's holding up the engine looks a handy bit of kit to have

Big boys toys eh Norm.. That's a serious lawn sweeper

Who do we speak to about booking Wemberly?

It's great fun Chris It should be good on grass as long as it's smooth. Your welcome mate, the grin on your face was priceless

That's a very nice buy Tom, a handy tool indeed... How did you manage to get it out of John's shed and loaded? It looks rather heavy!

Nice work Max, the speed you work it can't be far off being finished?

That's fantastic, recycling at it's best.. Have fun with at the show

Now sorted thanks to the master of finding parts.. The Showman.. Thanks Chris

Hi Max, the will be some surgery but not that much.. A change of plan again Thank Iain, working brakes certainly inspires a bit more confidence knowing your going to stop again Well chaps, a change of plan again. the steering rack won't be fitted as it just wouldn't look right.. Also Nigel and I were playing with the current set up yesterday, with a few tweaks and some shims the steering lightened up and even started to self center.. So with a better steering box the steering should be quite good No photo's but have a short vid of Mark, Matt the garden center manager and myself giving WN a thrashing up the car park

Thanks Norm

Hi Guy's I'm looking for a Land Rover steering box for Why Not.. Has anyone got one they are willing to part with for a sensible price?

That's a beauty Neil, and small enough to hide away

That's good news Norm. I'm guessing the petrol that's in the Spit must be quite old to run at all.. The modern stuff is almost unusable after 6 months!

Happy birthday Chris, here's wishing you a good and shedful day

That would look good as a decorative piece for the garden. Just give it a lick of paint and find the right spot for it.

That's a really nice trailer Chris, I like the aged look, gives it a bit of visual history

Pete offered me loads of old milk bottles quite a while ago, I think he just wanted them out the way.. I can ask if he still has them if your interested Chris.

That's an interesting build, even though he is having serious problems with it I hope he keeps going and get's it working right..

Good news that the floods stayed away
