Vintage, PVT & 2 Litre Forum / PVT Front Stub Axles

« on: February 16, 2014, 19:03:14 »

It would seem that quite a number of cars may have cracked front stub axles, whilst the Post War Saloon stub axles are virtually the same as the PVT axles it would appear many are exhibiting cracking if crack tested. New forgings can be manufactured with new forging tooling & they can be CNC machined to a high standard in small batches using a higher grade of steel, & some slight design changes such as root radi to strengthen critical areas so offering a stronger axle such as has been done with the AC Ace/Aceca axles!
   
   How many people would purchase a set of new forged & machined stub axles if the Club were to arrange there manufacture with a reputable UK company?

What interest is there for new cast iron heads? I will be putting an article in AC Action about this but it would be good to know how many owners would be interested in purchasing new cast iron heads.
   I am prepared to consider a one off batch.

General Forum / Jon Sichel

« on: November 25, 2011, 18:14:36 »

I regret to inform members that Jon Sichel's Wife informed me this afternoon that Jon died last night of a severe heart attack.
   He will be clearly missed by his family & the many people who know Jon.
   I have no further information & would ask people to take care contacting the family until they are able to deal with matters.
   
   Jon is a great loss.

Vintage, PVT & 2 Litre Forum / New PVT Front Wheel Hub Bearings

« on: January 11, 2011, 18:40:26 »

Orson Have new sets of front hubs & due to the obsolete outer bearing this is re-specified with a larger Cup O/D to suit the new modified hubs. A point also to note is that the old specification bearings have a very thin wall on the cup & in the case of one of my old hubs the cup is severely cracked.
   The bearings numbers for these new Orson Hubs is as follows-
   Timken 21075/21212 & 14125a/14274, you will also need an oil seal which originally was felt face fitting, so you may need to check what is available.
   I have provided this information to Orson to assist there customers.
   This is following a request for information from them.
