I didn?t realise SOS had done an Elan. That?s any chance I have of getting mine fixed on the cheap gone then
Fuzz Townshend, the mechanic on the show, has now got his name attached to my local oil supplier, Classic Oils. They moved up to the Bicester Heritage site a while back and are now part of the one stop classic shop that the site is becoming. Whether they?ll have ?meet Fuzz and get 10% off? promotional days remains to be seen but I hope his involvement doesn?t change the nature of the business. They?ve been great as a source of cheap two stroke oil for my old smokers as well as oil for the Elan.

At least he didn't damage the hub with heat and hammering!
Fuzz is usually quite careful, so I suspect this action was deliberate show for TV. It probably needed replacing anyway for other reasons.
I seem to remember that the owner is/was a member of this forum and that he did say it took a lot longer than the TV timescale.
