Not often I can reply with any information of value, and this may be the day

either!



Death Wobble. Sounds like a heavy duty belly dancer! A friend had the

same problem (not on a Hudson) and it turned out to be mainly to do with the

absence or incorrect installation of a little wedge plate needed to provide

the right castor angle for the entire front axle. But this guy is really

slack - he also had wrong tyre pressures and no shock absorbers. The latter

weren't strictly necessary but they can help.



Advance Lever. Sounds as though the sliding block and spring may be

missing. Have a look at the hand throttle control - the mechanism is the

same. I made up these bits - filed and ground at a piece of

bakelite/plastic to get the right shape and just shortened a spring I found

in the local hardware place.



35 x 5 Tyres and Tubes. I bought a set of four about 18 months back here in

Australia, and they're still available. Expensive, but isn't almost

everything? The pic attached shows one of my racer wheels fitted with BF

Goodrich tyres. The rim isn't original but my budget couldn't handle having

locking ring-type rims manufactured. You should also think very hard about

"dust bands" that sit inside the rim and protect your tube from dust/dirt

entering via spoke holes, valve or wherever. If you have wire wheels they

also provide a degree of protection against any sharp spoke ends that

haven't been fully ground down.
