@@thehillmanator and on a three bearing main crank. i never owned an imp. although there were a few in my neighborhood here on the other side of the pond. i recall seeing one with a flat tire and the frame was so stiff that when the owner jacked up the left rear corner the front left wheel was off the ground as well. it was a cool little car for a teenager. my friends had an austin a40 and a ford anglia, so i'm sort of familiar with brit econo boxes. thanks for the vid.
