Yes Amy the biscuits will be there alongside Mabel 😊

You can just buy a 71/4” clutch plate with 20 spline , Im planning to fit J type box in my herald in spring and I’ve just had to obtain a 61/2” 20 spline plate. They’re about £20 on eBay and new old stock is relatively plentiful on these

He’s a club member search on the forum under members he is just Tony Lindsey on the website hooe he can help

As above, send your written article via email to Dale Barker

Canley classics can supply new and delver

Does anyone else think that the membership subscription might increase if CT Didn’t have a FB page, I know the local area groups mostly have a page of their own I do wonder if anyone who joins the FB page actually thinks they’re joining the club 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m not asking for it to be closed, but it’s just a thought which crosses my mind

I am thinking of buying another future modern classic, I rang Cherished insurance, - the car in question is a 1993 Vauxhall Astra, they quoted a massive £390 for insuring it, I wasnt too surprised at this as they did quote £165 for my 12/50 Herald which classic line insured for just £98., unfortunately classic line don’t recognise 1993 cars as classics. I rang Adrian Flux who quoted £299 almost £100 cheaper and this included homestart and recovery/relay and legal cover. why this massive difference in prices is beyond me 🤷🏻‍♀️ don’t think I’ll be getting quotes from cherished anytime soon

Hi Sam hooe the move goes well see you and Andie soon at an event 👍

Darren also had a friends request from Nuala, as she was always a friend on FB while she was here, it’s absolutely disgusting. I came off FB in 2019 and would NEVER go back on, Its full of sicko’s and I think that the club website is grossly underused. FB seems to entrap People I personally hate it but that’s just my own opinion

Hi Carl, we have a 1500 engine for sale, it’s reportedly done just 29000 miles but I can’t verify this, I’m in Staffordshire I’ll send you a private message

👍

I have a big old wooden bench and a bloody powerful torch lol and a couple of plug sockets, that’s all I need 😂😂

Hi Mike, try the insurance ombudsman, they were brilliant a few years ago when an insurance company tried to increase my premium mid term on my land rover , I won the case no problem

Around that figure I think is about right. D tyoe 3 rail gearboxes were the original installation but are getting harder to find. The J type are more common now and are stronger and have synchro through all 4 gears a complete j type unit might be an easier option, they do become available quite often I got a fully tested complete unit quite reasonably priced they’re usually available at auto jumble the next being Stoneleigh in February, worth going there 👍

Parts are reasonably easy if you choose a j type overdrive gearbox, just have to change the clutch plate to a 20 spline instead of the 10 spline which will be fitted at present. I’m just in the process of doing an overdrive upgrade on my Herald. Good luck in your search

🙁

Nice looking car good luck 👍

You can ease the engine and gearbox mounts and Jack the engine forward a little, this should give you a few mm to play with. I did this on my herald to get the prop off

Private message sent from Darren Sharp with sellers number for you

Not sure I’ll find out and let you know

Our new year meal will be held at Farmer Johns on Saturday 13th January, at 7pm I would appreciate you letting me know either on this forum or on our WhatsApp group - if you are on it, if you are coming along, it will also be our monthly meeting on this date instead of the first Tuesday of the month but only on this occasion. , from February it will be the usual first Tuesday. Thanks all

Maybe a photo might shed light on it

Nice to have you back Rob. 😊

Car parking fees are scandalous, also it’s an absolute nightmare trying to get off site after the show on Sunday, the parking attendants are more interested in allowing visitors for the nights entertainment onto the site than letting all the exhibitors leave, lots of classics queuing and overheating, just the same as last year. But otherwise I did enjoy the show.

Ken is excellent but has a special rate for regular customers and recommendations, he is well known in the classic world in the West Midlands he has a proper old fashioned workshop with boxes of parts tucked away
