RN accelerator pedal |

Is the accelerator pedal on an RN box saloon secured to the control spindle with just a clamping action or does the 'clamp bolt' act as a cotter pin?
Looking at the factory List of Spare Parts, publication 888, page 24, the accelerator control spindle (BF36) would appear to have a notch in the end suggesting that the bolt (BF34) fixing on the accelerator pedal (BF1) is actually a cotter.
I am sure someone will know the answer!
Many thanks.

Wheel Balancing |

It would be nice to balance the 19" solid center wheels dynamically on a modern machine but because of the solid center you can't mount the wheel in any way.
This begs the question:
How does one balance the the solid center wheels for Austin Sevens?

VSCC Wiscombe Park Hill Climb, Devon
Wiscombe Park, Southleigh, Colyton, Devon, EX24 6JE
Practice starts 9AM, Competitive runs commence at 1PM
Wiscombe Park provides the beautiful setting for the second round of the VSCC's speed championship. It is a great hill for spectating at, with a diverse range of viewing locations up the hill, all very entertaining. The event and usually sees a good number of 'proper' cars in the car park as well as a number parked in the paddock, and at the top of the hill (over 40 last year), with owners picnicking over lunch time. There are usually a range of autojumble stalls as well.
Standard admission is £12, though discounts are available for VSCC members ordering advance tickets. I seem to recall getting a discount on the gate for showing my membership card, but wouldn't like to guarantee.
More details, from the VSCC or Wiscombe Park Websites

Chassis shortening |

I am basing my special on a six foot three chassis but the one I have is six foot nine so it needs to be shortened. If anyone else has successfully done this, I would be very pleased to hear from them. There may be other problems but the one that has struck me straightaway, is the spring mounting on the axle which is the wide track to suit the longer wheelbase. It is a D type axle which I want to use. Once the chassis is shortened, the axle mounts will be too far outboard and will need modifying.
Any help and advice gratefully received. Thank you.
John

Ulster armrest/hose clips |

On my Ulster rep, I have very lightweight aluminum straps holding down the hose. They are quite thin. What might the original cars have used? 1" X 1/16"?
