You can never have enough spares of old cars as they are not making any more...

It only becomes unhealthy when they stop you getting from the living room to the kitchen and a team of people have to come in and drag you off the sofa, kick out your 500 cats and throw it all in a skip. If your not in that place your fine.

HUM Well it depends for who, in a loft-------- not that many I would say------ especially with wooden floors, now the healthy bit, it depends whether you are under it or in it, under it,---- not very healthy, especially if that cold water tank comes down too, coz not only would you be killed by squashing, you would then drown !!----- in it, when it goes, you could cling to the purlins I suppose, and then sort of pick your landing spot?

I found most of my stuff in skips next to 500 cats, Thats where you get the best stuff.

Its morrisons now. I've probable watched you going round that track in my early teens.
Used to sit on our BMX bikes at the fence and watch the races.
Greyhounds weren't as interesting....

It's in my workshop and there are two great rsj's under there and no water tank ,
I reckon you could put 6 or 7 ton up there spread out.

It certainly is.

It looks like it could handle the 37bhp of my moggy traveller easy enough....and making a loft space to carry weight is a storage bonus, Most of my house downstairs is being used as storage with my hoarding..here is part of the electrical section.

You might see OMES on some, forged in Colnbrook by OMES Faulkner Ltd. Electrically upset then drop forged and heat treated prior to being sent to Morris.

The standard moggy halfshafts are a bit weak, I have plans to build a moggy with more power so i have a dolomite sprint axle in storage that should cope with most power upgrades

The half shafts ain't much cop for what we do nor the axle ends/stub,
They only have one half nut holding the singe row ball hearing hub on ,
It dosnt help that we weld the diff up and the shafts wind up.
I'm looking at designing a solution over winter.

I haven't come across any of them yet, I'll keep my eye out.

My moggy car has a midget engine in with a few mods but so far the halfshafts are holding up, I have a feeling they might have been hardened at some point, Not that i drive it very hard but it does get some stick on the summer drive outs, Needs a fair bit of tidying up now but its good fun.
