originally it had a luvax lubrication system, similar to the one on old Rovers so no need for a grease gun, wish it still had it. still have the 4 jacks, you can select to jack up the front, back, or front and back together, long before those British Saloon car racing boys got in on the act.Cork clutch in Hudsonite or a special brew mixture of oil and paraffin I mix up in a pint milk bottle as I can't convert imperial to metric. Goes against every grain in your body to add it so the clutch plate has an "oil" bath but it works. Don't put to much in 1/3 of a pint I think, or the clutch will slip, don't ask me how I know, and why I now have an empty pint milk bottle for measuring

.Hudson were noted for their super smooth clutch, Plus I have a customer with a 47 Hudson super six that I look after
, and it only takes a small amount of extra fluid to make the clutch slip and a small amount under to make it judder,

Thats great love the clutch
So when it wears, its off to Oddbins for a few bottle's of claret hic! hic!, and the next day out with the Stanley knife and a tube of UHU for a clutch refurb , fantastic really enjoyable car repairs !!!!!
Off course not much good if you chose bottle's with screw tops !!!
