Hello people
Making some progress on my seven at last.
Waiting for bits so looking at the sun roof.
If you remember my car was in very poor condition.
 Not a lot of roof left which is usable 
Does enyone know a source of detailed drawings for the roof.
It appears to be a mixture of timber and metal although I don’t know if this is original ?
Regards 
             Tim

I would have probably preferred it unpainted.

Bristol Austin 7 Club September Meeting

In case you are in the area, I will be giving an illustrated talk on our 2013 journey from Buenos Aires to New York in the footsteps of John Coleman, entitled Wheel Tracks and Hoof prints.
The Bull at Hinton 20:00 all welcome. For further details see the BA 7C web site

I've been cleaning up and reassembling the 4 speed box I have so I can mate it to the engine. As part of the cleaning I degreased it all in water based degreaser and then dried the parts with a hot air gun. That showed me the reason why the dog teeth are all loose, it's because the synchro cones have slipped down the splines. When I heated them to dry them they moved further. So I heated them up and used the vice to press the cones home again which seems to have done the trick.

The inter-shaft needle roller bearing is very loose but I know I can replace this with a bush from spares. I will replace all the springs and balls.

But what do you do about the layshaft bush? This seems quite worn.



This A7Club (http://austin7club.org/How%20To%2014.htm) link is very useful but from this it sounds like fixing this bush is a specialist job since it needs line reaming?

Hello all again,

Any info in greatly appreciated.

Hi All, does anyone know the pitch and material  of the gauze used to make the radiator stone guards on the works Ulsters? W

On trying to start my ‘37 Ruby I found the hand primer on the fuel pump extremely stiff.
I have taken the opportunity to dismantle it and replace the diaphragm but the primer handle is still extremely stiff even after soaking in diesel for a few days.
There appears to be no adjustment to the spindle, it looks as though it is pressed together.
Is there anything I can do to loosen it.?
If not I can live with it but advice would be appreciated.
Ian

Sorry to hear about the passing of Barrie whizzo Williams.


His smile was infectious, his stories wonderful. We lost a motoring legend. 

Here are two photos given to me by his dad, of Barrie’s farther and uncles in their Usters at Pardon Prescott

Motor racing in the blood through and through.
