Does this look correct?

   

Just been looking at my DK4A distributor as the auto advance doesn't seem to be working correctly and I'm now not sure if this is the correct distributor as the internal details seem different to some of the illustrations I've seen on-line.

The main issue seems to be that there is very limited movement of the bob-weights and the springs don't cause the cam to snap back into position.

I've not dismantled it any further before being a bit more confident I know what I'm doing.

Any advice,
John.

Have you lost a handle? .....I found this door handle from a Chummy (I think...) on the ground in a rough lay by in Oxfordshire...... I could build a Chummy evocation around it but would reunite it with the car it came off......

Just now. Sitting outside Wimbledon station, idly watching the traffic go by, I nearly said to Anne, “I wonder what the odds are for an Austin Seven to come past?” Unfortunately, I didn’t for 5 minutes later, at 9.55, an Ulster drove past!

Hi folks

I need your help again.

As I understand, the control lever bracket should not move whilst driving. On my RF the bracket uses to turn together with the steering wheel, what is very annoying because everytime it does so the gas and ignition settings do change as well. That can't be correct. What do I have to do to in this case? I don't know where I need to attach the bracket.

Thank you very much in advance for your contribution.

Best,
Oliver

Hi chaps, 

Sorry to ask here rather than in the wanted section, pls move if necessary

Has anyone a working coil engine they would sell me ? I'm not fussy, I don't have the budget for a professional rebuild yet. So hoping someone has a spare engine they are not using and don't want to mess around with ebay etc to sell it ? 

Please PM or reply here 

Many thanks Matt

I have just read a post on the old forum from 2017 about meeting Derek Whittle on the Isle of Man where he retired. I lost touch with Derek some years ago and wondered if anyone on here is still in touch with him.

Steering column rattle. I would appreciate if some kind person could please help. I have a 1932 Austin RN The steering column rattles and it sounds as if the stator tune is rattling inside the column. There is also a slight rattle the steering wheel and the advance and retard mechanism. Any advice would be much appreciated. 
Many thanks, Jim

A smart 1931 DA4 BMW for sale in Austria - I think the DA4 model had independent front suspension, so the first Dixi to start the development away from the Seven.

A lovely photograph of an early RN Saloon on homemade ramps. Note the bumpers, but what is the cylinder under the spare wheel?
