Good evening all,

Can someone please tell me when shell bearings for big ends came in. My engine no is 
M278745 and I should like to know whether it’s a late enough engine to be fitted with shells.

Thanks,
Charles

Was reading on old forum thread on the H1 SU and I've seen various people rave about them. But does the 1" H1 yield anything powerwise over the Ruby 17mm Zenith for cars which are already converted from the 15mm updraft?

Someone then mentioned that ALL the parts/bodies are still available from Burlen. I see the body is just over 250 quid now. Has anyone actually gone down the route of pricing up a new one rather than fiddling around restoring an ebay purchase with broken this and worn that...?

Is there anybody making , or stocking, new steel clutch plates?

The late John Miles wrote a series of 3 articles on his recent Ulster build for the 750 Bulletin back in 2012. I have parts one and three but am missing the second part, published in April 2012. I'm sure that I did have it but can't find it now (just when I want it!)
Will some kind soul please scan it for me and send it to Charles@littlewrongs.org.uk

Thanks

Charles

Any info someone can provide will be appreciated.

Anyone going to VSCC Hill climb at Harewood on 2nd June?

I have a lot of parts here I need to report the crack testing on for Geoff.

But I though I would bring this one to everyone's attention.

Sorting some parts out for a customer for spring beaulieu, I always crack test stub axles befor I sell them.

And this is why, it's only the start. I've seem them far far worse.

Hello 
I would like to check my chassis for damage.
My main concern is alignment (is it bent)
Any advice would be welcome.
I wondered about placing the car on the floor (new flat finish) and constructing 
lines to check wheels for true ?
Regards

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the dipping circuit for my AG tourer. I have now established it has R47 35/32 lamps with original Lucas Graves reflectors (which I eventually will get re-silvered in Birmingham) I have some Bosch bulbs somewhere, I will see if they fit the bulb holders (which do take BPF bulbs if all else fails)
I particularly need to know how to wire up the 9/CS dip switch (3 Terminals) to the terminal block on the bulkhead & thence to the light switch and on to the Head & sidelights. I can probably work out the tail light wiring.... Advice on wire gauges will be helpful too.
Were there any particular colours? the remains of the wiring to the dip switch are not much help. the "top" wire is white! Were they still in "armoured" cable in early 1932?
The wiring at the moment looks like the trade test (failed) of an apprentice electrician in week two of training! how not to do it!

Hi

I got my engine back together in November but found the red charge light would not go out.

It turns out the armature is no good. I had a few spares tested and they were no good either.

I got distractedly painting my Fiat Bambino before the cold weather set in. Now is the time to take the Austin 7 out.

Have any of you gone out for day trips with no charge.  How far did you get?  I have been advised it should be ok if I don’t need to use headlights.
