I will be calling at the Houghton Tower event.  Not sure the Phaeton will be mobile by then, might have a nice clean rolling chassis, it depends on how many domestic repairs / improvements are required before then.  I came to the event last year, but my 2 year old daughter was struggling walking with the rough ground/grass, so didn't stay long.  My daughter had a good look at pink car that was near your stand last year, but we did not stay long enough to introduce ourselves.  Not sure if my daughter will be in tow this year, but she does like cars and thinks the Phaeton is her car (she keeps saying "Daddy when are you going to put the engine in my car?"

Dave T, thanks for dropping off the cylinders.  Many thanks.

i have the same wheel cylinders on my car, the axle is from a mk2 Cortina 1500GT but when i had to buy some (with new brake shoes) they turned out to be the same as mk1 2.0L Capri and they were very cheap. they slide on the back plate and are held in place by two spring clips, the new clips can be a real hassle to fit. clean the backing plate and copper grease it when you reassemble the brakes.

Dave, they are in my red tool box at the back of the garage... I would probably be better of posting them than trying to find them in the dark.

Adrian thanks for that.  I am a little tied up sorting things out for the In-laws and the pending caravan at the moment.  Can I give you shout in April and arrange collection then?

I have a set of spares in my garage you can have Dave and they are new ones too.

I think they are 7/16ths fine pitch .

Anybody know what size and thread are the bolts that hold the half shaft plates in on the the ends of the axle casing.  It would appear that I have none, well certainly on this side (I suspect the other side to be the same).
