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.

Morris Minor Welding job
Not a job I was looking forward to. Some old repairs dating back form before 1997 had started to rust again. No reason to complain, but still needed to be cut out and fixed.
Now Nelson the Trafalgar blue Minor is ready for battle again.

Wolseley 1500 Service, clutch slave and hose
The clutchpedal on the Wolseley 1500 did not feel very consistent. Inspecting the hose showed it to feel a little soft compared to other hoses. While under the car it was a good opportunity to change the oil, grease the suspension and check the brakes.
To be able to fit a standard clutch hose I made up a new pipe with the correct connector to use with a clutch hose.
With the slave cylinder off I decided to hone the bore and replace the seal and rubber.
The hose itself is a Mini front brake hose I had available.
