- Ivan wasn't happy with the slippy clutch on the Hall Scott Indianapolis car so he and John set to work to make it more effective.
Next step is to test it locally and get it ready for a test day at the Anglesey Circuit prior to the S.F. Edge at Goodwood.
All of your content is top notch but the Peugeot - Hall Scott Indy car, well, it pulls me in like a magnet. Making the wonderful videos in the shop most likely slows down progress. None the less, thanks to the videographer who does a marvelous job, and thank you all for sharing your time, your ingenuity, and your passion.
Glad you enjoy it!
Always enjoy seeing and hearing Suzie. I find it utterly fascinating that she enjoys all the mechanical repairs and fabrications. If I lived nearby I would probably be right there with her, sweeping the floors, cleaning out the trash cans and sorting the items to be saved from those that will be discarded.
Suzie is gold
A week of riches with these videos, a real serious treat. And learned a lot.
Two videos this week !! Always good to watch and learn! Thanks Ivan; Canada
I nodded my head and smiled when I saw the extra Dynamo belt hanging up on the back of the engine. I sure wouldn't want to have to pull the flywheel off again to change a belt if you didn't have to. I like the way you think
So that's why it's there. I'll stop scratching my head now.
Used to run a spare clutch and throttle cable when a despatch rider..
So much to be learned from the "good old boys tricks". Much of what I learn from them is unspoken.
Just brilliant stuff again, the real world of cars, seeing a solution and making parts love it.
Ivan, I love watching those guys in India. I just saw them use manure for increasing the heat when they were welding cast iron. Such a fantastic method. Evidently it burns extremely hot and for quite a while. Perfect for allowing the cast iron to cool extremely slowly so it doesn't crack. Same reason I love watching your videos. Excellent shaft made from the Mercedes parts mated to the other. You are such an incredible guy. You have inspired me to start a TH-cam channel with the build of a 1928 Morgan...Hopefully I can come over to the UK and bring it with me and we could go for a drive.. Thanks for your videos!!
Some years ago I had a similar clutch problem when I tried to fit a diaphragm clutch into a prewar Traction Avant. The original clutch was always so very heavy I ended up fitting a Ford Cortina clutch and adjusting it with the same washer idea as spacers. It worked a treat.
Yet again some more Gems on how to engineer Engine to Gear box to back Axle while suspending everything on box springs absolute magic loved the video thank you .
I love watching the way you make the parts you need from what you have. Very ingenious!
Brilliant! You clever git Ivan.
Loved every second.❤
Great to spend some time in "Shed Racing" central with Ivan, John and Suzie, nothing better for my Saturday morning. I used to have "lots of junk" Ivan, but then we moved house to retire and downsized, no more "junk" now, 😢.
Much well thought out homemade engineering evident. Don't forget some anti-sieze on those long bolts through the alloy this time tho! Awesome work,,,Love ,,DUBS,,,,
Nice little explanation of the strategic use of die springs as a damper. Being an old tool & die maker I can appreciate this as a terrific solution to a lot of torque dampening problems. Well done! Great episode and loved the turning .080" off the flywheel as a dodgy clutch solution. Carry on you Princes' and Princesses' of "Shed Racing" God Bless. Cheers P.
PS : Saw the flag magnets on the toolbox! Cheers.
Oh boy! Your explanations, thinking and work is so fascinating. I have more fun watching your videos! Thank you so much.
Hi Ivan I’m a friend of Johns and an avid viewer of your show.
Just a quick tip. As a toolmaker for many years I always use my diamond files wet, wd40 oil or even water.
I’ve had mine for 20 years + although I don’t use them as hard as you do.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
Karl.
Fantastic Ivan. I'm really enjoying this. Still remember when you stated her for us just amazing..
Nice work.
the highlight in you tube land, Ivan Dutton; Holland
Great to see you sort the clutch Ivan and John. I very much covet the big lathe you have access to! Such a useful machine. Best wishes, Dean.
Great to see new vids coming out.... Still a fan Ivan....
In my mind knocking pattern parts up first is the most direct and simplest way to go, would that be 'empirical engineering' , great stuff.
Seeing Ivan with his head sticking out between the frame rails inspired me some how to do more mechnaical work. Normally removing is a pain and can be dodgy/dangerous. Having droppped a clutch from a two ton Chevrolet truck was not somethign I care to repat. We had placed a random truck tire on the floor as a cushion and that helped but made the clutch bounce randomly. Exciting times.
Ivan love the term Bodgery . Great to see you are using all of your Dads & your bits of tat off the shelf 🇦🇺
Thanks 👍
Always enjoy your part adaptation 😊
"[parts] can get wet 'cause it only goes rusty and it looks more authentic." 😄
Another great video, thanks to all involved. Always look forward to your videos, have tiger seal offered to sponsor you yet? 😂
What a great car... Cheers
Another great video keep em coming, 👍
Thank you for sharing the story of this incredible machine. Don't have the right part?...Find stuff that's close and make it work together anyway.Brilliant.
Square or rectangular section spring is what it called down our way.
great stuff ! 👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍
Well I always thought that John was grumpy but he was very nice in this film ivan ,underneath that car he was working hard holding the flywheel I used to be under the Old Ford cortina wiggeling the gear box trying to get the shaft into the spigot bearing loved it cars you can work on not today you can’t thanks for posting
sometimes spigot bearings just fall in and sometimes they are just a nuisance -we've all done it
years ago, I was doing a MGB clutch and I thought I would centralise the clutch plate by sticking a couple of dabs of glue to hold things in place - finished it, put it all together, tried everything to separate the clutch, in the end had to take the gearbox out as I couldn't clear it
Great video, always fun seeing the solutions.
I do agree that in order to build thing s, you need a supply of lovely junk.
Yes you do
My wife often complains that I never throw anything away. But she’s pleased when I mend something and she asks how I managed to do it and I can say “Well I just happened to have something that fitted right on”.
cracking good video thanks we are spoilt 2 in a week
This 'cult' will continue to grow, methinks, with content like this.
One of those brake pedals looks like it was from a 1930'3 40's Matchless motorcycle!
Great videos Mr Dutton
Glad you like them!
Great video as always 😊
I know the clutch had oil contamination, but I’ve seen a similar issue with brake shoes where a lining doesn’t ‘grip’ or bed in and it’s caused by the iron face being incompatible with the friction material. On the heavy trucks, there was more than one grade of drum as well as different shoe linings to suit high speed or heavy stop start. Just wondering if your clutch was suffering from similar.
A real "frankenbuggy" 😉
How do you reach the steering wheel sat in that ultra low profile racing seat 🤔
Do you think one day you could give us some proper background info on John??
he's worked with me for years and years - and has a huge amount of experience - not sure what else to say - but mainly he just gets on with it!
The registration number bamboozles me. Where is the car registered?
👍👍👍👍👍
What's the story of the model steam engine above your head in your office, Ivan?
my Dad worked at the AEC during WW2 on war related work and he built the steam engine model as a distraction in his free time - it never got finished because the war ended. I can remember him doing it
Woud heating the inner part of theflywheel have helped ease it back on?
yes good thinking
Seriously think about setting up a trust to keep your cars together everyone is so much part of you
British engineers cream of the feckin crop you would be in good company with Mr Millyard
Both should be given "National Treasure" status, both Dutton and Millyard, extremely clever chaps.
Did you chamfer the inner radious when you faced it off?
yes
BSA M20 brake pedal in the junk box!
really ? I didn't know that - maybe I should do a junk box video, unearth some more treasure
My 63 4/4 is quite malliable.
I only have experience of Morgan 3 wheelers
👍🇦🇺
Not a good idea taking all the bolts out of flywheel flange even if it has dowels. A friend of mine did that with a truck fly wheel it came off and he tried to catch it no, chance. Hospital job.
that is why I got out of the way
