Wings And Wheels

Serious event for all those striking distance of Surrey UK

Having quite recently got a Big Seven, I joined the register via Robin Taylor and requested a spares list which he normally sends out. Unfortunately his computer has zapped it and so currently it is not available. Has anyone got a copy they could email to me please?

Hello All
As the starter dog is just screwed into the crank nose, the position of the dogs is determined by how tight it is done up, the thickness of the crank gear and even how the threads were cut when new. I am proposing to split the starting handle with a thread and use shims to adjust the angle of the handle when cranking.
The question is where is the best position for the handle at engine TDC for maximum effort/speed? 9 o'clock on upswing?
Many thanks.
Adrian.

Can anyone offer a complete newcomer to Austin sevens with advice on building a supercharged engine for a single seat special. Any advice drawings, specs what to avoid etc would be appreciated.

Some nice pictures for your enjoyment

Wanted, 1929 coil ignition crankcase in the engine number range 826** to 836**please.

Found this when clearing a garage. Is it part of an Austin 7 clutch?

Hi, I wonder if anyone can advise me on how to get my 1931 A7 clutch back to normal. The pedal seems to be very slow coming back up and total lack of any speed when moving off. It's been getting worse over time.  The clutch is not old and has only done around 500 miles from when new clutch. Is it a clutch problem or something else? Any ideas?

I had a conversation with Ken Morton the other day. About a dozen years ago, Ken ate at a restaurant in Monterey, California that had a genuine Ulster hanging above the fireplace. The restaurant still references the car, but notes it is no longer there. They do have a photo of an Ulster in racing trim on their website. It has the reg number BF 6155 painted on the rad core. Does anyone know of this car?

Best,

Erich
