Update from Workshop Apprentice James (Patreon)

Hi Patrons,

Happy New Year!

Good news, the Valentine refurbishment is now complete and it has had a first test run in the display area, having no issues.

I am now currently working on the Warrior. It is in for its winter service. Over the last week we have drained the hubs of oil and refilled with fresh oil. Whilst doing so we checked the condition and wear of the road wheels, making sure it’s safe to use during the next running season. We have also changed the final drive oil, inspected for metal flakes, changed and topped up the suspension oils.

Last week I was at college, focusing on cooling systems. As well as the theory and practical elements we also visited a radiator factory. They have a number of Lancaster radiators in their workshop for repair and re-manufacture.

That's all from me, I will be back next month for another update. 

Thanks as always for your support.

James.
