Someone has kept the patent plate from the AD Chummy, as a souvenir I expect. I need a useable brass one (not a repro)
Can anyone help? I will be at the NEC on Sat 10th if that helps!

The old website had a thread for pictures of bodges and parts well past their sell-by dates, so I was inspired to revive it after collecting a block I'd planned to have re-sleeved, from my local engineers. The block had been sleeved in the past and was out to +60, but when the old liners were pushed out this was what we found:

   

I know its not recommended that previously-sleeved blocks should have the operation repeated but thought it was worth a try, as I prefer to recycle parts whenever possible. In this case, quite apart from the rust damage, the old liners were oversize compared to what is commonly available today, and appear to be unobtainable. As the photo shows, several valve seats would have needed replacing and the top face needed a skim, so it has been consigned to the scrap pile (where it should have gone in the first place...)

The removable dash panel on my 1932 AG tourer I discover has original crackle finish paint under the Patent Plate! Mr Mills shows one piece dashes  crackled,  but not one with the removable section. I was preparing the panel for painting & found this!
 So now it will go & be crackled (by the local powder coaters who also do a good crackle! ) I am considering having the running boards powder coated black....any experience out there?

Having struggled for years getting all of the springs and bits in alignment I came up with what I believe to be an ingenious idea, ( now tell me it’s not original).
Using the alignment tool as described in Woodrows and a Jubilee clip. See pictures
Clamp the assembly and compress, drop the Jubilee clip over the splines and tighten. I then use three long set screws and nuts to hold the whole thing together whilst finaly centralising the spline and tightening the six fixing bolts.

Another - in fact two - one is sheeted up behind it: https://www.ebay.com/itm/273220118759?ul_noapp=true

Has this been seen before? A wonderful set of "underneath" pictures. https://www.ebay.com/itm/132842799329?ul_noapp=true

Hi people
Should there be a oil thrower fitted on the camshaft drive gear?
A7 3 bearing Ruby.

I had a puncture on the M3 on the way back from L'Amble d'Automne last month, which totally ruined the tyre (4.50x17).
I have Longstone 4.25x17 on the front. I was wondering what the advice will be to replace the rear tyres, Waymaster 4.50x17 or Longstone 4.25x17?
I look forward to hearing peoples' experience.

Does anyone know where I might find a 2019 AUSTIN SEVEN VETERAN/VINTAGE WALL CALENDAR. 
The ones I have seen have all been Classic Cars.
