the austin ten special....rat , part 8

[@kenphillips5221]

This is the best thing on you tube in my preferred genre. Quality of presentation, filming and editing, content and sound track is mega. You will have 500k viewers in 12 months or my name is Colin. Keep em coming - bloody amazing!

[@oakswamp]

thank you thats a lovely comment ...lets hope so eh😂

[@johnnypeter1835]

Thums up for Ben, pretty good job on the brakes .

[@oakswamp]

he s a good lad !

[@budde007]

Awesome build . Like the use of remade original parts . Love the style of car

[@oakswamp]

thanks, I love using old stuff the metal is better and it looks better

[@Mardy72]

I love the way you sync parts of the video to the beat of the music during the montages....great editing. Typical muso thing to do 😁🤙

[@stephenmoon9211]

i must say I'm very impressed with your level of ingenuity !

[@oakswamp]

thank you very much...I work with zero budget most of the time but that actually inspires me , plus its much more creative to do it this way😁

[@andrevassili1039]

Great engineering, loving the whole build, the music and the intros.

[@oakswamp]

nice one thanks

[@62_C10]

You are both a creative as well as mechanical genius.

[@oakswamp]

thanks Bob 👍

[@motorv8N]

Great build - lots of ingenuity, including creative incorporation of soundtrack into the general din...

[@oakswamp]

cheers mate glad you are diggin it 👌

[@paulwhiteman3625]

Loving this build, fella! Gives you a real sense of there’s nothing that can’t be fabricated/ cobbled together.

[@oakswamp]

thanks Paul... i like to think you don't need all that expensive machinery ...i imagine what i want to build and then make it up as i go using what i can get hold of cheaply but is still cool

[@paulwhiteman3625]

@@oakswamp that’s a good way of doing things.

[@aggbr]

Lots of hi-tech machining in there as well as the usual applications of the Birmingham Screwdriver. Looking good. It's going to be interesting to see this in the flesh (or iron) one day.

[@oakswamp]

glad you are enjoying the build...hopefully it will be out there in the spring !

[@OutOfOrderGarage]

Great re-use of old parts. Really enjoying this.

[@oakswamp]

its the way it would of been done...i like to tell myself...and its totally inexpensive!

[@locker60]

Another great video, much more work in modding these old cars but worth it to have something so unique,loved the music, till the next one.

[@oakswamp]

i love all the problem solving ...and not spending any cash !! see ya next time dude

[@Flipertyblink]

Top spannering as always.

[@paulgiles6096]

Loving the Channel Mate certainly become a weekly watch for me now, great music too. Might have to pop past Oak swamp next week👍😁☕️

[@oakswamp]

cheers paul, coffees on dude ...

[@StefanMarjoram]

Great stuff. Really enjoying the films - and the music!

[@oakswamp]

awesome...thanks

[@simonwarrick7172]

Enjoying seeing things done the low tech way. Looking forward to the next episode. Great to see you make use of bits from other things... After over a year of ill health its made me itch to get the tarp off my project and get cracking again - Bentley V8 powered Rover P4.

[@oakswamp]

hey cheers dude....deffo pull that cover .....sounds like a beast , you know once you get back into it you'll be flying

[@daveunsworth9931]

Gonna be good and unique, love the music.

[@stephenwhite5057]

So very enthralling

[@gillonstewart1601]

666 subs now. I'd almost not want any more haha. great work as always (and great tunes)

[@oakswamp]

cheers dude.....nice round number! bit creepy thou.....

[@boydsargeant7496]

Your ideas are getting more ingenious as the weeks go on! I can see that the linkages for the breaks and clutch are going to need some fettling, I love the way you reuse and have a go attitude, also love the mockup engineering with a plan to make good later, means the project moves along fast. I see 2.75k subscribers now, we’ll done!

[@oakswamp]

thanks mate...i like to mock up first...gives you a chance...

[@stuartsturgess2199]

cutting the chassis mean's it need's an IVA test here in the UK where as if you's left the chassis alone you could get away with keeping the number plate and not re registering it

[@stevenstratford9755]

Love it.....

[@sergehorion7155]

Awesome!

[@1959BB]

Loving the build - one thing to consider with the clutch arrangement, if they are right next to each other is there a risk of them binding up? Maybe some arrangement with a bearing on the pedal pin running in a channel on the bell housing input?

[@oakswamp]

awesome, thanks and yes gonna put a shoulder on the adapter, should keep it good !.

[@1959BB]

@@oakswamp Also just in case you need any Austin specific bits, theres a prewar Austin specialist in my village near Coventry.

[@oakswamp]

that sounds handy , prob gonna need kingpins...what they called? cheers

[@1959BB]

@@oakswamp They were called Available Austins but the owner retired and their main mechanic took over. Not sure if I can send a private message with his details on, don't want to make a public post with his name and phone number etc...

[@oakswamp]

could you send it here? cheers [e-mail]

[@avandriver]

You realy should invest in a plasma cutter . Great video and the music is great too .

[@oakswamp]

not got the money or room to be honest...glad you are enjoying it..

[@paulbeckwith5981]

Great to see more progress! Great stuff!

[@oakswamp]

thanks dude...

[@bushmanPMRR]

really enjoying the build then I spy the bike in your garage, is it a CCM? They are supposed to be rather bonkers!

[@oakswamp]

no that my youngest pik bike...but yes they are , i had a ktm lc4 brilliant fun 😀

[@ashleyjones7375]

When I say iv somthing buryed it's in the workshop. Not literally... love the spairs. Waste nothing.

[@oakswamp]

exactly.....i work better that way 👌

[@easttexastramps]

ben!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@oakswamp]

now ben is a dude !!!😃

[@martinlewis4968]

Where’s the double bass going lol

[@oakswamp]

On the last last tune....

[@Lost13mm]

Will the hand brake work on all four wheels or just the rear ones?

[@oakswamp]

all four, im having to build in some compensation between the front and the rear.....interesting stuff

[@Lost13mm]

Will you have a way to adjust brake balance fir the foot brake? I guess there is going to be very little rear end weight.

[@stuartsturgess2199]

@@Lost13mm I bet he could figure out a way to give more leverage slightly to the front as the balance should be 75% front 25% rear

[@icba4907]

Going to be a shame to cover this weapon with a body.

[@oakswamp]

it gets better dude
