My 1960 S2 is 60 years old today.  :-* well, 60 years from first registration, build date was around a week previous.

Unfortunately, I am unable to take it for a birthday run around due to the starting issues, but hopefully I’ll have a handle on that in the next few days  :cheers

I have swapped my swb rims with 600 x16 tyres for lwb rims with 205r16. I don't like the look but what a incredible difference to noise levels and driving experience.

Its been ground .020" undersize in the past, but been done really badly, with no radius on the journal.
Was a failure waiting to happen. I just regret not looking at the bottom end before fitting it!

Well yesterday really. Joined the Welsh lads for a jaunt around South Wales, flooded roads etc. 160 miles round trip for me.

No-one broke down! In fact the bonnets weren't even raised.

And on Saturday I found where an annoying leak in the hard-top was coming from.

I've been getting water on the inside of the hard-top - in the ledge. This would drip onto my leg. I thought it was coming in the front, but then noticed when I was checking things over, the rear corner of the hard-top was constantly wet. A bit of examination - I blew some compressed air through the corner. And what did I find? A hole! Pictures for reference. Filled with sealant.

Yesterday was spent in rain and sun, today I checked - dry!

Changed the track rod end boot for the trackrod that is connected to the bottom relay arm.  Took all of 10 minutes and i took the opportunity to grease them all.
