They were old photos I'd taken a few years ago. I broke the pot joint at a hillclimb called ' The Sweep' in Co. Waterford (Ireland). Its a favourite of most of the historic owners as its been running since the 30's virtually unchanged. I was trying to beat a nippy Hillman Minx and ignored the pool of green fluid under my car, the boot had slipped out of the joint (pressure maybe) and the photo was the result. I got a replacement joint from Cavalitto and bought a spare (just in case). The joint exploded just before the finish line, and I did beat the Minx !! The following year I broke the short shaft inside the clutch housing. I've stopped doing hills because of this, its a bit severe on the car. I've since raced on track, which so far has been kinder to both the car and my pocket.
So they are Flavia discs !! I've been wondering for years what they were from.
I aquired a complete front axle complete with drums, and I'm at present rebuilding the brakes. Only problem is, is that my wheels (15") will not fit over the drums without removing some of the cooling fins. I'm not really happy with doing this, so I'm experimenting with some wheel options. 15" wheels will fit over 4th series drums ok, but the axle I bought is 5/6th series with bigger drums.
I actually like the discs, and with good quality brake pads really stop the car quite well, but if I want to use the car in any FIA events I have to have drums.
