Thank you Peter!

Hi Uwe,

Thanks in advance,

Hi guys.
I realize I had so far not taken the time to make an update on this topic: finally I managed to source the plain spherical bearings (RBJ207L) and replaced the faulty originals. Actually it was the inner race that was broken, on both sides. RBJ207L is a part used in the aeronautical rather than in the automotive industry. No wonder, given Brian Angliss' interest in aeroplanes.
Thanks again for all your advises.
Constant

CobraAddict,

The attached may be of interest.

Robin, in the Chronology you mention:
April 1964
AC tested own 259 coupe at Le Mans. on leaf-spring chassis no. 'A95'.

Is the 259 a typo and should read 289? Or do I miss something?

waiting list has been opened for the unlikely event that one or the other of the current participants would have to refrain from attending

Not sure if this is off topic, but I redesigned and had made new spring perches, as my original Koni's had stripped. These are stronger, designed fur an 80mm C Spanner and give 6mm more lift too. Happy to share drawings if you confirm thread outside diameter.

Hi AC Ventura,
I'ld be interested to know the reference of the Spax shocks.

[if a 5 hp stage coach is capable of mastering the Tremola, then any AC in working order will have the stamina to go through the 4 days of happy motoring over the 9 passes that we will have on the menu in July 2024!]

From mid- to end- of last week, Ursula, Jürgen & I were checking out restaurant venues for the 2024 International in and around Andermatt, Switzerland.
We also took the opportunity to ride up and down on the Gotthard-, Furka-, Tremola (old Gotthard) & Susten- Passes, under perfect weather conditions. It is promising to be a great time for AC owners to enjoy the roller coaster rides. Having had 2 all too different cars for our test, one modern and very powerful (>400 hp), one some 20 years old with moderate power (135 hp) but happily revving and lighter, we encountered a vehicle from remote times that made us come to the following conclusion: if a 5 hp stage coach is capable of mastering the Tremola, then any AC in working order will have the stamina to go through the 4 days of happy motoring over the 9 passes that we will have on the menu in July 2024!

If you want to join, hurry up: to date, there are only 4 hotel rooms left.
