Hi everyone, i am new to the club and just wanted to share photos of the Trusty Earthquake that I hope to renovate soon.
If any members think they may be able to help with any advice in this respect please get in touch. My first issue is acquiring suitable tyres to replace the perished ones.

Also I have an issue with the “choke elbow” casting which has broken (see pics) has anyone come across this item in the past or is it one of those “hens teeth” items? Cant find anything similar online.

No worries , that’s the great thing about this club/forum , fire the questions , and everybody helps.
I served my apprenticeship on Villiers , and 45yrs later , I,ve yet to meet a man who comes even close to Pauls knowledge of Villiers.
