We find out if the clutch on the ‘52 Riley RMB works…or not

We’re getting close to the British Car Day Columbus and want to debut the 1952 Riley RMB this year. We already know it runs fairly well, so now we need to see if it will actually hold coolant and if the clutch and brakes are working so we can drive it off the trailer and into the show.
After finding out that we don’t actually have a head gasket kit in the parts pile that came with the car, we decide to make our own so that after we adjust the valves we know for sure we won’t have any leaks from the valve covers. We replace a few of the more suspect hoses and cross our fingers for no coolant leaks. Then we take a look inside and show how we’ve temporarily mounted a few of the gauges and added a key switch. After all that, its time for the moment of truth… will it actually move under its own power?? And will it stop too??
Stay tuned for more videos on the Riley as we work towards getting it in drivable condition.
