Any Gordon Keeble Owners Out There?

Re:Clonk.
Well GK 52 was right I'd think:The two nuts keeping thehubs on the cones were not tight. I suddenly remembered that I had the same problem on Nr 14,where the nut came loose. As I dismantelled this one as well,I thought to follow GK 52's advice and could add an extra half turn on the nuts!!
This is a marvellous forum!

Hi Dirk,
if you are there on the Saturday pop in for a cup of tea and a chat as I am 3 miles from Beaulieu plus the refreshments are much cheaper at my place! I will try and sneak in on the Saturday as I ride past there on my bike sometimes.

Best Wishes

Hi all,
Couldn't resist posting a meeting of the two Belgian Keebles(Nr 14 and 57)

Nice picture Dirk!

Hi Dirk

both the cars look really nice and if I had the choice I'd take the blue one.
Cheers

Hi all,
I come at a point I have to make difficult decisions.Living in Antwerp,Belgium is a real problem now with the Low emission zone tightening more and more.Traffic has grown enormously to the point there is not much fun driving my cars anymore.
I therefore decided to sell several cars,and the Keeble might be among them(Big V-8's are not liked by the politics anymore here)
I read that several people were looking for a Keeble.. Mine is not cheap,as it is now fully rebuilt.
If someone is interested, contact me at: vanussel.dirk(at)gmail.com

That's so sad to hear, Dirk1.

Hi all,
Is somebody interested in changing to power steering? I have a reconditioned rack available and made a few photographs and measurements on my car.
The transplant is not overly difficumt but a lot of fiddling is required as the power rack comes very close to the front pulley.

A few weeks ago,my friend with nr. 14 had to make an emercy stop wherupon the car did a half pirouette.Investigation showed that the car's rear brakes applied more force than wanted. I did the same test on mine(57) and indeed, the rears were squicking before the front ones did.
The technician of nr. 14 altered the balance bar to have 9 mm more bias to the front brakes and it resulted in much better braking.
I am thinking of doing the same?

Long time since I've seen one advertised sub £50k, advert a bit thin on detail though
