I am still reeling from that dreadful photograph from Holland.....however my question could be relevant.
When did Austin stop putting wires in "armoured" cable protection? there seems to have been a period when the wires were simply routed, not encased in a cloth covered loom. From when to when? any information welcomed before I start re-wiring!

I have just bought a 1932 Austin7 RN and would like to have some covering on the floor.Are carpets or mats best and where Would I get them from.Also any recommendations for a workshop manual.

Six years after the fire it struck again, but now everything is lost, my three Sevens, spares, tools and my fathers collection of A30/35's and A90 Westminsters are gone. Hard to believe that it happend again. I put a photo on the Austin Seven Facebook page, will someone be so kind to put it here, ?thanks

Went to collect my block from boring today, unfortunately it didn't clean up at .060" and will apparently need liners, or bore to .080".
I preference the latter, does anyone have a set of 58mm pistons they would like to sell, or trade for a new unused set of .060" pistons .
Tony is out of 58mm and I don't want to spend £220 on a set from one of our other cherished suppliers before exploring other possibilities.
I do have another block at .020" but don't want to bore that to .060" it would be a waste of good metal

I have a tuned Reliant side valve engine for sale.This engine has been extensively rebuilt .
Re ground crank,new big ends and mains,new pistons with shortened skirts,new timing chain,clutch,lightened flywheel, fully balanced.
The block has been ported with an increase in inlet and exhaust valve sizes,new valve guides, skimmed head and a 3/4 cam.There is NO carburettor,inlet manifold or exhaust manifolds available in the sale,but I do have some parts to help with such.There is also included a four speed Reliant gear box.
It is a great sounding running engine which would work for, dare I say it a Seven special or a 750 club vintage car.
I would discuss more with a seriously interested person.Iam located in Suffolk east of Ipswich.

As any body any Bowdenex parts for front brakes, all I have is one cable. I will be fitting to 1928 RK saloon but can adapt later kit to fit my car.
   Must be getting old starting to get worried about brakes being not good enough.

A few months ago I was visited by a retired gentleman wanting to build a model of Bruce McLarens special, I provided him with a number of photographs, measurements and allowed him to crawl all over my cars. Today he came back to show me what he has achieved, about 12'' long, totally scratch built, I thought it deserved a wider audience and that some of you would appreciate all the work he has done so here are a few pictures.
