Brand New CWP Ford 100E

I have a brand new matched Crown wheel and pinion in original box for sale. Made by Regent it has the code R/CWP.151 on the box. I bought it as I had hoped it would fit my E93A axle but the pinion ending is different. In fairness to the original seller he did say it was for a 100E so I took a chance.

Pinion has 7 teeth and Crown Wheel has 31 teeth making it a 4.43. The codes RCWP/151 656/49 are marked on both items.

Green lanes

We have lived at the end of a green lane for nearly thirty years.During this time motorised traffic has come and gone, including the odd Dellow. I walk my dogs on the same lane and generally think that the odd horse, bike and car helps to keep the track clear.

However in the last three years or so we have had the odd group of 4x4s use the route as well....so be it, live and let live etc. I will now apoligise to all 4x4 owners in the club, as I do not want to paint you all with the same brush.

 

This is what has happened this year. Back in the spring after yet another very wet week, a large group of road registered but non standard 4x4s came down the green lane. They had V8 engines, large wheels, snorkels, etc etc.

 

Due to the very soft conditions and going up and down the track several times some of them got well and truly stuck, leaving in their wake holes big enough to hide a Dellow in!

The council put up signs closing the green lane on a temporary basis to vehicles,so that it could be repaired during this summer. They have done this in the past.

The following info has been passed on to me, and I would be interested in members' comments;

 

Due to a serious accident involving a horse and rider, the council have closed off with locked gates this green lane. They have quoted a judge's decision from the west country who was quoted as saying that due to willful damage to the green lanes used by 4x4 users the councils are responsible for the right of way, and have the right to stop their use by vehicles!!!.

Can this be correct? Has the law changed?

 

I will contact my parish council for their response and let you know.

The lane is now very overgrown, and the damage has not been repaired.  The grass is extremely long and in many places the divets from vehicle and pedestrian traffic.  I, like many other people, have stopped using the track as it is now basically impassible - partly as a result of the 4x4 damage, but mainly from the lack of use!

 

Looking forward to all comments as I feel very strongly that this track should be kept open for everyone to use with care and respect.

 

As usual, a few have spoilt it for everybody.

 

 

 

 

Photo's Wanted

Our local NHS in-house  magazine is running a series of articles on staff entitled 'What I do at the weekends'.  Last issue was a member of staff who was a passenger in a sidecar racing outfit (we're not all nutters - honest!) the next issue features a scuba diver and the following issue a passenger in a trials car - me!

If any one has a photo , clearly showing me as a passenger, of Ed's Dellow replica 592  AHT and wouldn't mind them being published. (unfortunately payment is not available - all the spare cash is for middle management, executive's and consultant's salaries and expenses!) please contact me on hespian1@btopenworld.com . Please put 'Trials Photo's as email header as I get up to 100 spams a day.
