My bearings are worn



Not unexpected for a 74 year old
I know how they feel.
I have worn bearings, stiff joints & a blowing exhaust. frown

Were those bearings in upside down?

It's a popular misconception, that. It was designed with the engine the right way up, it was the airframe that was upside down.

It's one of the reasons why they were good at inverted flight smile

There’s nothing wrong with the Brutus shirts I had off Walden market...

Welcome home, Bomma. I’m glad you’ve escaped. I know even a few days being laid up in hospital is a real drag. I had a particularly severe case of cabin fever after spending 12 weeks in hospital after my accident.

ION, I’m in that there Liverpool to see the barrister and I made sure I was here in plenty of time, which meant I could stop for a coffee on the way. Which actually turned into two coffees, a cranberry juice and a light snack...

Engine? I presumed those bearing were from the Topper.

So off the Jeep then? I had no idea that Jeep engines were inverted ( except when they were turned over by an enthusiastic Go Devil GI ).

Bought my '68 Cooper S from a chap in Hertford back in 2011, well, just on the edge of town, despite his excellent directions I got lost something chronic when I went down to view the car. Mrs.P5B kept pointing out the same church each time I drove past it. If she hadn't insisted on pulling over and checking the roadmap I'd probably still be driving round Hertford now wobble

Hertford today - keen car purchasers still there stopping to look for addresses that elude even the locals
