I have one of these that belonged to my Mrs's Brother on the late 80's. It was left abandoned in my Father in law's garage for many years, then 3 years ago, they asked me to strip it down and restore it.
I did strip it down, cleaned/replaced bearing cups, cleaned the 12" mag wheels up, cleaned the 12" whitewall tyres etc etc, basically did as much as I could to it, without spending any money.
It's sat where I left it 3 years ago as I had too many other things getting in the way of it, but yesterday, I had a go at putting it back together.
I hit my first snag, as I can't connect my pump to the inner tube valve. The pump will fit of the valve, but I can't lift the lever on the pump to lock in place, as it won't go past the spoke on the mag wheel - I'll take a pic later.
Any have any suggestions, or had this themselves?

You need one of the old school pumps with a screw in flexible adaptor :daumenhoch:
