(apparently they originally came without any so the car used to flex rather a lot!).
Understatement 're the flexing.
My brother's shimied so bad we used angle iron from our bunk beds to brace it.
Another time one of the front wheels came off at speed - luckily we were on a straight so as three wheeler became a two, all I could do as passenger was leap over to the drivers side as best I could as the front wheel booled off into the distance.
We landed gracefully with no harm done , the drum brake acting as a skid.
Found out later we had forgotten to split pin the large castellated nut holding the front wheel on. I would be about fourteen.
Happy days.
