Would anyone know of an engineering firm capable of manufacturing rear spring pins and bushes for Austin Big 7. Unfortunately, Robin Taylor of the Big 7 register has none in stock and the previous person who manufactured them has died! I need  one pair myself and Robin is looking for about 20 pairs. The other problem is there is no technical drawing for them to be made from so would have to be made from a sample pin.

I have seen photos of Stanley Edge in later life but never one of him as a young man. Does an image exist of him around the time he was with Austin?

Hi

Many thanks

What is the correct pattern of core for a 1930 Seven?

I need to get Adam's radiator re-cored as it is "a bit leaky" & would like to use the correct pattern of core if it is still available.

Your comments are welcome.

Thanks,

A recent thread discussed stamping the prefix BODY letters and body number on the transmission tunnel. Can any one add information to narrow down when this might have begun. Presently, the RL and AF series seems to have general evidence of letters being introduced.

Has anyone got an AE, RK, RF, Coupe or earlier car with any letter stamping on the front of the transmission tunnel?

If you can't use the forum reply system to post here, send an email eb65 (at) btinternet.com and I'll add information here.

I have seen similar but not as pronounced, anybody know what for sure?

   

I've read a number of old forum thread and seen the hook things made out of old spark plugs. But the reference to a "puller" (that screws into the spark plug holes and then has a differential smaller thread which enable it to be tightened down against a plate pushing on the head studs) seems a no-brainer as it requires no other tools or hoist to 'hang' the engine from. And yet there is no futher reference to such, photos or anything.

Does the method work, and has anyone got a simple method of making them which doesn't require lathes or welding...? It can't be rocket science.
