Essex wheel bearings.
I fitted the wire wheels to it last year, i could not get the timber ones to ever run true, it had 3 different tyre rims for a start. When we bought it, it was ready for a V8 conversion and it was in pieces and being an older restoration, all we did…

Thank you all, I'll dig up my spare pair and send them away for recast, i had a similar pair of NOS but i think they are for manual trans as they are thicker.

Essex clutch problem.
Thanks Geoff, I'll mention this to the owner of the car, I know the car was in very poor condition before it was restored hence the 1926 clutch. I do have the parts to convert if required. Jeff Fripp
