Hi All, may I first wish everyone involved with this site a very happy new year.
Would like to enquire if there is any written measurements of the Nippy door opening , for example if the door was taken off what gap should you have, top middle and bottom.
Wonder if someone with good door alignment  could measure thiers. I need to determine a car I may look at with view of buying, has sag or worn hinges. Any help would be appreciated.
With warm regards
Rob

first of all may i  sorry as this not Austin seven.. But my friend has an 1931 Invicta car and like us all is looking for information and bits.. An A 7  friend has two of these cars in his club, which he is going to inquire for me.  So i thought that maybe someone would know of someone that could help on the forum..  I am still looking for a pair of chrome side lights for my Big Seven,  Have a Big seven engine for spares or doing up, 40 tho on the pistons.. Quite happy to exchange for the lights..
Should you think that this thread is not correct for this forum please delete.
Many thanks .     Arthur

Dug this up from the "Archives" and  thought it may warm you up.  Date - August 1972. Location  - State Savings Bank HQ in Melbourne's CBD.  Austin Seven display to commemorate  50 years.  The girl -17 yo Michelle Stark.  Oh, and the car (did you notice the car?) - 1925 of yours truly.

Enjoy.   Cheers,  Bill in Oz.

good clean condition; top and bottom have not been refaced - still have number stamps. No cracks around the cylinders or water holes. Bores are 2.20 but needs honing at least... some rougher areas where surface rust was. Core plugs removed.
Acid stripped and bare.
Just found a crack linking to the lower water outlet. May be longstanding but someone may be able to assure themselves it's useful, (perhaps for its serial number).
Numbered block...  1932 ish? (later type core plugs)
£25. pm for photos.

Does anyone have a good Trico vacuum wiper motor without any Mazak rot that they would consider selling for a chummy?
   Thanks in advance,
                                        Robert.

Get if off your chest!

Only genuine moans allowed. No swearing. Keep it clean. Keep it short.

Your gripe will be listened to (well, read anyway) but don't expect anyone to actually give a fig.

For example...

As you most know I live in the south of France. Most of the time life is great, but I have to admit that at this time of the year the winter sun is a real pain in the "fesses" as the skies are generally clear but the sun is much lower on the horizon than in the summer so it's always in your eyes when driving, either in your face, the side window or the rear view mirror... 

Over to you.

Great day out at Bicester yesterday. Lots of interesting machinery and quite a number of 7s in evidence.

I have recently removed both rear shock absorbers for cleaning and refurbishing, using Woodrow for advice.  On the spring shackle end the lock nuts and spring washer assembly on dismantling from inside out was 1, lock nut, 2, spring washer, 3 lock nut. However Woodrow shows assembly as 1, spring washer, 2, lock nut, 3, lock nut. My personal opinion is that the Woodrow method would be best as otherwise the nuts are not locking against each other. I would be grateful for other opinions please.
