2020 Roundup

Despite the pandemic we managed to run some 276 miles, on short jaunts from  home, a socially distanced Cotswold Steam car Tour in September, and the local Shelbourne Car Show. 

A couple of mechanical issues surfaced - The Passenger side brake band pull off spring stud broke away on the Cotswold tour, so a new one was made and rivetted into place. The Driver's side crosshead developed enough wear for the pump drive rod to move sideways, so over the winter this was adjusted (with advice form the Goold Brothers) and the crosshead slides were also adjusted at the same time. The crankcase cover did as warned prove difficult to get back, after a couple of attempts oil leakage was reduced to an acceptable  amount. It will be refitted properly at the end of 2022!
