Here are a couple of pictures for Charles Ping relating to his post on the old forum, hope they are of interest 

   
   

Now that we're up and running here (well done chaps), I can post some pics of a ghastly spacial I saw in Puy Notre-Dame. The idea may have been sound but the execution looked as if it had been done in a badly-fitting home-made bender with wooden jaws...or perhaps over the edge of the kitchen table
If he took a sound body off to do this he deserves a horse-whipping!

I have a 3 bearing pressure fed engine to sell , it came with my nippy many years ago .
The engine is stripped down , I had the crankshaft crack tested and it was fine .
aluminium sports sump with the 9 E cast into it , tulip valves but 3 vales are missing in the Block , Dante aluminium sports head , sports canshaft.
Crankcase is un drilled where the oil jets normally go .
All the bits seem to be there apart from 3 valves.
White metal looks good in the con rods and crank looks fine .
con rods are for floating pins .
Strange that they used white metal in these engines, i thought 3 bearings would have had shells.
I have kept the nippy carb , manafold and head as I am using them on my nippy.
I am looking for offers over £3000.00 for this very rare engine that must be a late nippy or speedy engine.

After an extended period of delinquency, I have successfully replaced the torque tube on my '33 RP Saloon.  Looking forward to putting on some Texas miles this fall!

This repair was facilitated in large measure by Ruairidh, to whom I am grateful. 

Has anybody sorted out how to post multiple pictures ?. Can somebody in the know do an idiots guide for this sort of thing such as we had on the previous forum. Please

Newby to the forum...

Considering the purchase of an Austin 7 Ruby Mk 1 (1935 (BZ 3006)) as a first Classic.  Wondering where to start in terms of having it inspected / what due diligence is necessary?  I'd be willing to spend on worthwhile improvements / maintenance.  Car is currently in North East England.

As a novice to old car ownership I'm unaware of the maintenance, but I'm "handy".  Would hope to cover 5k a year as a second / weekend motor.

Appreciate any advice, thanks in advance!

    As reported in the former forum pages ,my engine shed the front lip. Today we fitted a new one . The first picture shows the drilling of the fixing holes. 
I havn't as yet worked out how to load multiple pictures so one at a time.

I don't know if anyone else has seen this in the top corner, but it could be a good feature for raising awareness of upcoming events and finding events to attend locally or further afield.
I have added an event post for Brooklands reunion this Sunday to see how it works.
I decided to put the county first, then the event title, then the time it is on from/until in the title and a description and link to the Brooklands museum page for the event. I did it this way so that it is quick to see if an event is in your area.
If you like the idea, please add any events that you are going to or know of locally. You can also let people know if your club has an event that others are welcome at or if you are travelling to another area and looking to meet some 'locals' while there.

OK here's a question folks - anyone know what was the original route the 'Ulster' tail lamp wiring took through the car body/ frame? I did a walk around at Beaulieu and saw quite a few variations. Pics of VE4492 in Chris Gould's book show it (them) running along the interior of the floor precariously near to the occupants' feet? Just curious.

Thanks
Chris
