The South Wales Austin Seven Club in conjunction with the Hereford Austin Seven Club, all took to the road for a drive around the Brecon Beacons, meeting up in Breacon for a light refreshment before starting off on a most enjoyable run, passing such places as Llanddew, Upper Chapel, BuithWells, Llandefalle before heading home.  All arriving safe and sound. A great day out and great company. S&P.

Brilliant, sunny, day at Cobham yesterday. A challenging set of hills made all the more interesting by the 'blue ice' of the bluebells and an overnight heavy downpouring of rain.

Very many thanks indeed to the organisers, marshals, and helpers.

I wonder if any Forum readers have any experience with products that are more commonly used by the VW fans to preserve the rusted look of the their much loved "Rat-Look" vehicles please?

I need to preserve the painting on a very weathered vehicle. I think similar products are used on older motorcycles to keep the same look, can anyone recommend a product they have used please?

The minutes from both the recent Annual General Meeting and the following Business meeting are now on line and can be found here:

Hello

How long do the plastic wings last in a repro Cozette blower?
How do I realize that they need to be changed?

Thanks and Greetings

My camshaft pinion has a chip out of it so I'm in the market for a set of steel gears with the larger camshaft pinion centre hole.

I have a small lump out of one tooth on my camshaft pinion so am looking to replace it and the crankshaft pinion. Please does anyone know of a supplier? None of our cherished suppliers seem to list these. The car is coil ignition and the crankcase is marked "+2", which I understand means the crank and camshaft centres are .002" above standard.

Dear Friends,

Can anyone help me to diagnose a problem with my ammeter on a 1937 Opal.

When I apply the brakes, the ammeter jumps to maximum discharge. When I release the brakes (brake lights go off) then the ammeter still registers a full discharge. However, if I gently tap the ammeter with my finger then it returns to the normal vertical position.

Under normal driving conditions, the ammeter registers a small charge as expected.

Many thanks for your feedback.

Matt

If you can help me with a contact near Western Port, Victoria in Australia please get in touch.
