I got the RK saloon onto the motorbike lift so I can get some welding work done to the floor and sills. First time I've used this loft in this way, but very handy and as its on wheels I can move it around the garage aswell.

This kind of lift is incredibly useful, no more bending over and kneeling down to reach hard to get areas!

Sunday there were the 100 year celebrations for the Austin 7 race guys where 23 entrants battled it out around the very tight circuit in the middle of town. Well done guys for getting there and taking part. Besides the race, was the static display of Classic Austin 7s in the town centre, along with every other classic mark, probably more than 100 cars on display- what a disappointment . Of the 15 Austin 7 cars that said they would be there, there was just Tony Jeans and myself - so no photo. On leaving Angouleme in the evening, we were slightly boxed in, however no problem for an Austin ! - see photo. Where were you guys ????
I travelled down to Angouleme (in a modern car as I didn't have time to try it in the Austin).  My first time there and I thought it was a great event.  A tight circuit for some of the cars (but great for the Austins) and the overall organisation and timing seemed a bit haphazard, but very enjoyable nonetheless.  A few very interesting race cars:

Hi All

After changing the front axle and spring on the Brookfields I went for a short run to check everything. Suspension wise it was fine but engine wise was not good.

Back home I found the advance retard lever was moving on the control tube. The tube had stuck solid in the column.  A rub down with wire wool and a light oiling restored things.  However I can’t remember ever lubricating these concentric tubes.  Exactly how one is supposed to get oil down the helical groove in the tube once installed I’m not sure. Is it simply a question of 3 in 1 oil between the control levers?

Advice please

Cheers

Howard

Today I finished making and fitting a small (3L) spare petrol can in the boot. I've had a couple of journeys when I misjudged the contents of the tank and came very close to running out. Not sensible in the Highlands! This will give me some peace of mind.

looks good Peter - just remember to use the "spare" every 3 months or so as this ethanol stuff goes off quickly. Tell us how you made that shape. Is it 3D printed or something?

I’d like to know how the can was made too.

RE: What have you done today with your Austin Seven - Peter Naulls - 26-09-2022

The can is welded up out of steel. I used a neck from an old rusted out can, soldered in. For once my welding was air tight (I pressurized it with an air hose to test) but I used tank sealant anyway to prevent it rusting.

Nice work Peter
