and.... Did Military Sevens have Austin 7 style stamped numbering? Presumably there are practical issues about stamping these in the same way as aluminium?

My father had one for a while. Complete with block, nosepiece, etc. I remember it was heavier than a Ford E93A block.

But think how stiff you could make the front of the chassis.
However the extra cornering performance would probably be outweighed by the weight!
