I know this was covered on the old forum but with no search facility I'll revive it. Can someone tell me what thread is used on the axle end if the radius arm?
Thanks

Does anyone know what size the bore of a pinchbolt steering wheel is? I only have one and I don't want to take it off yet. 
Thanks

I am very new to sevens and looking forward to receiving my 65 EB this morning. I am 6'2" and so the space for my right foot is awkward - I can operate the accelerator OK but moving my foot over onto the brake pedal is impossible without sticking my knee outside the car. The brake pedal sits a lot higher than the clutch pedal and I need to drop the brake pedal down into the footwell to give myself room to manoeuvre. Initially I rejected the car as being undriveable for me, but because I loved its lines and originality I took my shoes off and tried again, convinced myself I could move the pedal and promptly bought it.

I intend winding the nut to the left of the lever in the photo towards the split pin and then adjusting the spring and nut on the right to suit, hoping this will drop the pedal forward within the footwell without altering the tension on the brake cables.

Is this my only option for adjusting the pedal, other than starting to hack things about, which I have no intention of doing? Any advice much appreciated!

Can anyone out there answer a query that i have?

I have a couple of spare 6v dynamos that I’m not sure if they work or not.
 
I believe that there is a method to connect the dynamo so that it runs like a motor.
 
But as my 1935 Ruby is a positive earth how would I wire the terminals to the battery to ensure that I don’t reverse the polarity

Bit of guidance please.

I have the back axle out of the RP (seal replacements) and thought I would just check the correct position for the brake levers.

Viewed from the diff should they be at 7 o'clock

   


or 1 o'clock?

   

p.s. Apologies for the poor quality pics.

In my role as Editor of the VSCC Light Car magazine kind people occasionaly send me original photographs to publish......
I have just received a charming snap of a chummy with the reg. number OT 6820........ taken I would say when the car was pretty well new.......
A check with the DVLA reveals the car has survived and indeed is taxed .... can anyone lead me to the current owner please?
......or is this photo well known?...... taken in a country street with a young lady standing to one side.......

Hi all, though I'd shear our trip to America this year. As I thought the first part of the trip may interest a few.

We usually go over the pond to attend the Hershey autojumble or swap meet. But wilst there we look for other things of interest to do.

What we originally had planned, wasn't working out for us, the week before we were due to fly out. So we needed to find something else.

We have both wanted to visit the wheels through time museum for several years now, and tracy sed why not. (Sounds good to me ).

First thing in the way was the 1,000 miles from New York, to Maggie valley NC. And the fact that we had only 3 extra days before Hershey to do the trip. So I called BA about going out a couple of days earlier and changing the airport we were going too. so the drive was only 100 miles.

Mind you I couldn't warrant all the extra costs, working out around another £2,000 in total. So we opted for the more exciting option. Go out two days earlier, land at Newark New York. And drive the 1,000 miles each way.

So for our first day it started as usual up at 5am to get to Heathrow nice and early. Land at Newark NY, at 1.30pm usa time or 6.30 UK. it was near 3pm usa by the time we were through customs and into our rental car. The next 6 hours driving were not without excitement. About 1 hour in and the flashing lights came on behind us. ( dam it, it's the rossers ). Unmarked car with two over ambitious state troopers. As the younger won aproached the passenger side he uncliped the holster to his gun and sat his hand on it. Tracy went very quiet. Not used to that  I started with, everything ok officer. the reply, I spotted you mist a couple of turn signals and you were doing 73 in a 65. Yep sorry about that, the speeding was to get past the lorry and what's a turn signal. By now the trooper realised he was dealing with a tourist, the mood changed. the gun was put away. And we had a lengthy chat and a laugh

To be continued.

I’m thinking of using a Ruby type exhaust manifold with 1” SU carb
On my GE Cup Special and wonder what sort of silencer
Would match this set up.
Not planning to fit a hot camshaft or bigger valves
But will fit a Ricardo HC head.

I previously fitted a Cherry Bomb silencer
To my TR3A and it has served me well.

Would a 3” body, 18” silencer be long enough and not too noisy?
The GE undersill has louvres to avoid cooking the passenger
But space is tight hence 3” and 18” dimensions.

It needs to fit between the front and rear Cross members 
Exiting under the rear , rather than pointing at the near side rear tyre?

Any advice appreciated.

Ps Cherry Bombs are a lot cheaper than A7 ones!

A job I've never done, but is it possible to remove the worm gear from a steering column and replace it with another one?

This appears to be still in existence. Does anyone know of it? I am a previous owner
