Marina door handles Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Up to date, dead modern racing from Crystal Palace.... Murray commentates, the images are rather black and white and the action is excellent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cawBXWWgqCI Crystal Palace is a place close to my heart. On my first visit in the late Seventies/early Eighties, the motor racing may have been over but I managed to get head butted by an errant goat at the petting zoo. So it was still an exciting place for a small boy! garethj and Remspoor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can not remember what we saw there, but it was probably just a clubmans meeting. egg and Marina door handles 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved the staged accident at the start Was that the same one that appeared in the second Sweeny movie? Dennis ambulance | 13th September 1968 | The Commercial Motor Archive Quote To get the performance needed Dennis uses a Jaguar 2.4 litre petrol engine which has an output of 130 bhp and this drives through a Borg Warner Type 35 automatic gearbox. From the rear of the gearbox the drive is taken by a Morse Hi-Vo toothedchain drive unit to a point below and to the right-hand side of the gearbox. This gives a step up of 1.33 to 1 and the output goes forward to a Salisbury final drive unit with a reduction ratio of 5.8 to 1. The latter is supported on an extension to the torque convertor bell housing and an extension to the left-hand drive shaft is supported in bearings. The nearside driving shaft is 18.25 in. and the offside 15.75in. and while there are conventional universal joints at the differential unit end, there are constant velocity joints at the wheels Remspoor, ETCHY and egg 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grogee Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 This might be old news but I really enjoyed watching this guy weld a massive crankshaft back together. Presumably from one of those hulking great old diesel trucks you see smoking about in India. Stick welder and hand tools (and a lathe) but nothing digital and a lot of feel for the material. I bet they got another 200k kms out of that crank Dyslexic Viking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
