1977 Western Winner title taking outfit - Rode by Jez Phillips And Pete Dulake, Put together  by Bill Carter

First things first!

First thing to sort is the Front wheel, it doesn't fit, there is some play there as the spindle is not quite the correct size. Bill Carter (builder of Jez Phillips 1977 Western Winner winning outfit) makes me up some bushes to fit over the spindle and solve the problem. 

couldn't find the right cutting tool in the garage, so Bill just makes one. probably simple to an engineer, quite impressive to me!

The Wild man of Grasstrack

A big thanks to Peter Dulake, former passenger to Jez Phillips and later Roger Measor, for lending me his scrap book full of photos and press clippings.  Jez and Pete burst onto the sourthern Grasstrack 1000cc R/H sidecar scene in the mid-seventies, qualifying from novice to expert in next to no time with their dynamic riding style and taking the western winner title in 1977, the duo only raced for a few years but left quite an impression, got some great comments when i posted a picture of theirs on the memories of grasstrack page.
