Re: Lucas wing lamp lenses - Lanchester 15/18

foot pedal gaitors bellows - 1933 Lanchester

The 3 foot pedal linkages go through holes in the toe board. Any form of seal in the form of gaitors or bellows has long since dissappeared on my car. How have other members of the forum solved this problem? Thanks Ranald

Re: Large box spanner - Lanchester 15/18

Thank you for your reply. I initially recorded the measurement incorrectly ( 1" to much !!). Anyway, i've amended my original post. The measurement is 1 7/8" between flats. If anyone can help it will be appreciated.
