Do any members have experience of fitting sound deadening into their cars, can you reccomend one type over another?

  armstrong alert
Posted by: Steve kay - 09-05-2018, 04:38 PM - Forum: Forum chat... - Replies (4)

   

En route to an event on Saturday morning had a flat tyre. This turns out not to be a puncture from an invading item, but the inner wall of the tyre abrading the inner tube. This is the second time this has happened to me with an Armstrong tyre. A few years ago the 19" world had lots of choice, notably the Avon Sidecar tyre, acceptable to VSCC scrutes, but for 17" Ruby wheels much more limited range. Fortunately the Longstone 17" is available, and I will be raiding the pocket money tin to replace not only the condemned Armstrong, but the two others as I no longer trust them no matter how much tread is still visible.

  Source for end caps...

Does anyone know of a source for the end caps used on Ruby seats and late tourer door chains please?  I only need one in this instance but a supply for future would be good.

  Will a Box Rear Axle fit a Ruby
Posted by: Stephen Barker - 09-05-2018, 07:45 AM - Forum: Forum chat... - Replies (5)

A friend who does not use a computer asks the question - will a Box saloon rear axle fit a Ruby saloon.If it does fit, are there any major/minor modifications required. I think there may be issues with the prop shaft length though.

  Grease on head gasket?
Posted by: Graham Honnor - 08-05-2018, 08:35 PM - Forum: Forum chat... - Replies (8)

I'm sure that this is asked on a regular basis but I haven't been able to find it using the search option I'm afraid.
So, when fitting a new head gasket should I grease it as advised in the Woodrow manual please?
Many thanks for any replies
Graham.

  Help with a 1930's trailer
Posted by: winchman - 08-05-2018, 05:26 PM - Forum: Forum chat... - Replies (25)

Hello
I wonder if you could help me?
I have almost finished restoring a 1930’s Gibson Eccles trailer , I was struggling to find who supplied the wheels as my spare has seen better days, after chatting to a few people at shows it looks like its a 19” Austin 7 wheel.
Would anyone be able to confirm this?
I also have no idea how the spare would have been mounted on the trailer but assume it would be similar to a car mount?

I then would need a spare wheel!

  Reliability from new
Posted by: Peter Naulls - 07-05-2018, 08:50 PM - Forum: Forum chat... - Replies (6)

Sorting through some old 1940s magazines recently I found several letters from delighted Seven owners. Obviously Austin had a vested interest in choosing the most favourable correspondence, even so they do remind us how durable the cars could be. One wonders what Mr Leaper did to deserve such a generous petrol ration:
