TYRES

Happy New Year!

 

Where can I get Matador tyres from?   I've tried normal tyre outlets & mail order firms and can't get hold of them.

 

Anybody got any contact telephone numbers please.

Which vehicle!

Ladies/Gents.

Can anyone one give any advice on the following. I'm looking to start in Classical Trials in 07 and am thinking of either an MG Midget or a JZR (Morgan 3-wheeler Replica) both need a bit of work so any mods could be done then. Your comments (polite if poss!) appreciated. Thanks Steve

Milk Hall Farm Chesham

I have had an email from the owner of Milk Hall Farm, a well known trials venue in the early 70's. If anyone can help with information can they either post it here or email me at mleete24@hotmail.com - Michael

 

I live at what was Milk Hall Farm in Chesham and came across your interesting article below whilst researching the area.  I would be very interested if you have any photographs of the old farm, or the surrounding area as very little historical material appears to have been preserved.   Do you recall the name of the Farm owner or anything else about the area.

 

Thank you for any information you might be able to provide.

 

regards

Ford 8HP & 10Hp Heads - Difference

I have been advised that putting a Ford 8HP head on a Ford 10 Hp sidevalve engine will increase the compression and thus gain some useful bhp. A contact has several heads but can anyone advise how you tell the difference between the two models?

Contact Info

Does anyone have a contact number/e-mail address for Julian Fack (the diff man).

 

I would like to contact him about strengthening a Triumph diff.

 

Thanks in advance
