A random selection of posts about travel and tinkering with mechanical machines. Mostly cars from 1937 to 1999, manufactured in English speaking parts of the world, but also kayaks and sewing machines. So here you can see how we travel, drive, paddle, break fix and find on a regular basis. On a desktop, you can choose your favourite item from the list on the right, choose a page from the menu or simply scroll down to see the latest.
There's always something. Suddenly after a perfect run a leaky rear wheel brake cylinder played up through an ever lower pedal on the way home.
Fitting a new one was easy, though bleeding the brakes was more of an effort.
But now the brakes are good as new once more. I do wonder about the quality of the currently available reproduction parts though. They don't seem to last as long as I would expect.
