Is my memory playing tricks with me? I've been looking for a factory photo I remember clearly of almost-complete Mk2 Rubies on the production line. I thought it was on the A7CA website but there are no historic photos there. Nor are there any technical drawings (chassis, coachbuilder's setting out plans etc.) which I thought were on the same site.

Anyone point me in the right direction?

I have a block 
M 268616 which has had to replace the cracked 88xxx original

Should  I use either new plain guides or shouldered guides?
Or does it not matter?

Hi folks,

There seems to be a million types of LED
bulbs available , but finding a LED headlamp bulb that is 6v, 
Fits a BA15 socket, is negative earth and offers
Full and dip beams seems be the one type that just
now anyway is not available?

Or has anyone else located a source of these?
Ideally one that does not look like a “ pineapple” !

For fitting into new old stock 1925 CAV headlamps
which have clear glass lenses which reveal all.

I am looking for a 29/30 type RK Saloon body - anything considered.

Many thanks

I  am buying a new trailer so I need to sell the old one. It's nothing flash, I think it was originally used for a mower or similar. There is a pair of ramps and a chock fitted at the forward end to set the balance point for easy handling off the tow vehicle.
Recent new tyre, new jockey wheel, new adjustable rear legs for loading.
It is braked but the brakes need some TLC.
The pic was taken on the way back from le Puy-Notre-Dame 2016. I can take more pics if wanted.
£250.00 ono.

I hope this one finds a good home.

I decided to take the carburettor off the AG to clean it out ( the AG has a "sports" head. & manifolds) and a downdraft Zenith 30VE1 carburettor no 3935.
With the carb off I could see into the inlet manifold and there was a good quantity of what I think are cherry stones in there! I have had plenum chambers filled full of nuts placed there by squirrels in the past, but this is a new one!
I decided Hoovering them out might not be enough, so set about removing the manifold. The four vertical bolts came out and the  nuts on the exhaust manifold (I undid all, but I think only the middle ones are relevant. The inlet manifold is now loose, but will only pull away from the head about 1/4". No amount of jiggling nor light tapping wit a soft hammer will shift it.
What else has to come off? Please not the exhaust manifold & flange joint!
Or do I hit it harder!

What is the best way to seal the bolt head or stud nut where it meets the cast aluminium manifolds (Water outlet & inlet branch)?
The parts list says that a "set screw" (BC20/BC21/BC22 ) is used without any under head washer (neither flat nor spring).

As a point of order!! I understood that a set screw was fully threaded to under the head, and a bolt had a plain shank.
The Parts book illustrations clearly show what I would describe as "sets" as "bolts", and elsewhere in the parts list fully threaded fasteners are called bolts!
Did the terminology change, or have I been labouring under a misapprehension for years? Of course, to confuse the issue, short "bolts" are often threaded right up to the head to give sufficient thread engagement!
Is there anywhere published a list of fasteners used on Austin Sevens by diameter/thread/head style? 
I wonder if/when Austin ever "commonised" the part numbers across the range of vehicles...Austin 12's etc must have used the same etc fasteners as Sevens.

Pearl Opel on eBay is selling some off some nice new parts, worth a look even if you don't need them now.

Are the fuel tank sender retaining screws 1/4 BSF? For my 1935 Opal.
Thanks
