Good and Faithful Frazer Nash, Good and Faithful Anzani

nash party

The problem with the Nash party is that you start drinking early on and forget to take pictures.... got an award...Wriggley Monkey Award for "Best Raid Entertainment" .... it's not home yet but it's the bronze thing on the table in front of Jon.  I'll take a better photo for the blog soon...

Everyone enjoyed WTs "awful warning" speach as you can see from the smiles on their faces

and here's a bad picture of WTs speach
 

and one by popular request of Lorraine and I in our frocks and tranny shoes

a couple of old pictures

so that's where Lionel's cartoon idea came from

check out the wheel on the back... and missing rear light

Pesky Reverse

look how tight that chain is.....it is stretched old chain but the link piece is bent .... it is just so weird it worked so well for years.... but it is a nightmare now...As I have said before dad is convinced this is the way the works upgraded the car to 4 forward speeds so is keen that the set up does not change

 

anyone wanting to comment here's what the cogs look like

I think not having a reverse seems the easiest option if I was allowed to have it as an option...

so propshafts out do we just whip out the bevel box and get some new cogs? and get slighlty different teeth so that new chain fits? dont really have the mechanical engineering knowledge to understand this.  I plan to ask JB for his thoughts

 

clutch pedal movement due to a sloppy hole

I have taken the bracket that supports the pedal cross bar and it's worn.  There's wear on the bar and wear on the bracket.

so this is of the pedal cross bar using the Vernier (or very near as JB calls it) so 7/100ths less than an inch....

 

and here is the diameter of the worn bracket which is worn by 400/100ths

 so the suggestions is to have the bracket hole lined with steel by the 407/100ths.....

so need to go find someone locally to do that for me..... probably should check the otherside first.... wow this is dull isnt it?

Essays are over.... so time to get back in the garage

SUNDAY 6th DECEMBER

The plan, Lee said he'd come over and help so decided to remove the propshaft... which is a bit bent and out of line.  Now quite alot of us didnt know that the 'screwed in' spigot was a common early bodge.  DAT didn't know but after much discussion every seems to believe it is best being fixed so this will be looked at too.  
 
I shall document this in case the propshaft is out of the car for awhile and I have a reminder of
how to get the car Back together..

Undo spring on propshaft , marking it first with a blade  .... and mesured the distance from the cross member to where the spring is tightend up to.

this is a picture of the ruler! lest i forget!

Undo bolts at front of rag joint...

  


1 washer in front of bolt 2 before the rag
 
Then at the back of the propshaft you have to slacken off the stop nut so you can wind in the nut and remove it to get clearance to get the propshaft out

Remove back of rag joint and bolts so to allow play to remove prop
shaft...

Remove dynamo belt!

Undo nuts forward of clutch springs and use screwdriver to get  the springs off the bolt
(1 sping was already broken)

Undo bolts on LHS of car on brake pedal bar and LHS spare wheel bracket
bolts .... Undoe front RHS wheel bracket bolt

Pedal bar is on a spring so push down then 4 hours later we simply wiggled out the propshaft
to the front & LHS of the car

and Lee with the propshaft ready to take SBE at the Nash party
