  austin 7 rn GY2791-1.pdf (Size: 89.34 KB / Downloads: 94) I keep trying to find this car, which seems to have gone to ground.
We owned it over 50 years ago (see photos attached of much younger wife & me, each posing with the old thing)
I keep trying this forum in the hope it may jog someones memory or a new owner may notice us.

There is a strange shaped being on Classic Trader, for those who like to identify such things!

One of the manifold studs has pulled out from the engine block. What is the best way of replacing the stud?
Is it possible to tap the hole 5/6" and use a stepped stud?
If this is possible does anyone supply these or do I make one?

Your observations and suggestions would be most welcome.

Many thanks.
Hugh

I am playing with the jets on the Zenith 30VE1 (VEI?) on my 1934 Type 65. A friend has leant me a bag of used jets, but these are of unknown spec due to wear. Chris Gould's guide quotes the settings as Main 95 and Compensating jet 40 (or 85 and 55 post March '35).
Please could people share what set up they have settled on for their 30VE1s?

The recent discussion on stars and ratings caused me to pay a little attention to the above.

Interesting- when I looked there were some 15 users with ID (some bold ones even using real names)  3 Invisible ?? and 31 Guests ???

Who are these 'guests' ? Ae they potential Austin 7 owners or just curious ?

I cannot believe that just random searching would lead accidently to this forum .

What is the collective wisdom on the benefits (or even needs) of fuel additives (e.g. Redex) versus say one of these thingies which apparently does a better job and will never need replacing? Well they claim 100,000 miles which in my Austin 7 is like infinity.

Does fitting a deep finned aluminium sump impede the fitting of a Opal engine ( is it inclined to catch up whilst fitting the engine) .
Can engine and gearbox be fitted in one piece with deep sump attached.
Thanks for your support.

Moving swiftly on from previous matters, I made the most today of our warm autumn sunshine down here in Rekkersland and went out for a spin in the RP. Near a village called St Sauveur de Cruzières I stopped for a quick piccy next to this old Peugeot (303 I think) Pick-up parked at the entrance to a stone mason's yard. It's been there ages and unlike the UK has never been nicked or vandalised. Nice patina.

I have been made aware that there is an email circulating purporting to come from Bob Wyatt, A7CA President.
ALERT:  This is a scam.

With no desire to rekindle fires already damped down I feel that it's a very unfortunate series of events that sees a contributor banned especially one who's posts I have valued over many years.

I'd like to believe that there is a way back from this episode. The world is a small place, although as the joke goes,  I wouldn't want to paint it.
