Hi everyone. I need to provide tail pipe support for my AEW (where it passes from under the car to the outside rear of the car). It occurred to me that the nippy arrangement could be suitable. How is this facilitated on the nippy? If anyone could shed some light on this it would be a big help. Thanks.

Regards Peter

While it is too cold to be out in the garage -- a bit of fun.  How old were you when you bought your first 747.5cc side-valve?

A quick survey - how late did this dual stamping continue....?

Are there any cars later than the very early 80,000s chassis which have engine number stamped below the chassis number position on the chassis rail?

So, I go out to the garage to check out an issue thats been bugging me for days, bought a new battery 6V, cleaned up the contacts on the starter motor 'switch' tried the starter and nothing !!!! anyway stripped starter motor, fitted new brushes, cleaned armature etc, put back, and tried starting via switch, all seamed good ? anyway at present the dynamo is not wired in, so after a while battery died, recharged battery , tried starting again, clonk, s/motor hardly moves, so thought switch may be problem ?? removed switch and place starter cable directly to motor contact, bit of life in the s/motor, BUT, as the garage was quite drank, I noticed a 'glow' between the starting handle casting and the rad surround (1935 Ruby), tried starting via direct contact to s/motor and glow  showed again ???? so simple question, do you think I need to have a direct earth lead going back to the battery, as guessing glow is engine trying the earth via body shell, over to the the experts.

Does anyone have a winged Austin badge they want to sell?

I have a new old stock Hoffman rear main roller bearing, only thing is it has slight corrosion etching (dark discolouration) on the outer race. My 'received wisdom' is that etching can bring about premature failure, but unsure just how big a threat that is in an A7. I read somewhere that if you can polish it off it's OK; needless to say I can't.

Part of me thinks it's a darn good bearing with a minor defect; and part thinks why use a defective bearing when new substitutes are to be had?

So, anyone out there have the necessary expertise / experience to say whether it belongs in my engine or in the waste bin?
