The Austin has been treated to a well-earned bit of fettling in preparation for the VSCC Lakeland Trial in November. The leaky radiator core has been sent to Hereford Radiators (www.herefordradiators.com) to be repaired and pressure tested, and the front axle has been removed and overhauled, including some relined brake shoes, (Copper rivets are not the best of friction materials!) which Jeremy spent a lunchtime sorting out. Other issues, such as a lack of dynamo charge, plus a few other minor mechanical deficiencies need attention.
