RE: What have you done today with your Austin Seven - Frank Stoll - 28-06-2023
Hello Tony,
very convincing... but due to the high prices (inflation) and the remote place where the photo was taken, I would have avoided the ice cream!
Once again Adobe ai?
Kind regards
Frank
RE: What have you done today with your Austin Seven - Tony Griffiths - 28-06-2023
Yes, Adobe AI with some follow-up handwork. I also did it conventionally - the result was much the same but far better when enlarged and at high resolution the AI being rather indistinct. We are in the very early days of this and the AI tends to be "foggy" in its response. It's OK on general scenes but the images lack detail and are often compromised with strange, distorting effects.
RE: What have you done today with your Austin Seven - Nick Lettington - 28-06-2023
Today I made a kingpin extractor but didn't get to try it because the PO of my special wannabe was no mechanic.
First kingpin was upside down...
so Ruairidh gave me a quick lesson in how to resolve this issue... only for me to discover the second kingpin hade been hammered into oblivion and I need to remove the brake cam and bush to drift it up on this side too...
Could be worse. At least the steering arm is ok...
RE: What have you done today with your Austin Seven - Ivor Hawkins - 29-06-2023
Crikey! And what is a PO?
Apart from a chamber pot of course!
RE: What have you done today with your Austin Seven - Alan Osborne - 29-06-2023
Ivor,
Previous Owner perhaps.

Indeed... not the last owner, but likely the one before. I was going to post a picture of the end of king pin that was upside down... driven in with a hammer and very much fatter than the half inch it started off at... the term bell end springs to mind, and I'm not sure it refers just to the kingpin.
Who bashes a kingpin in with a hammer, especially with so much force?
RE: What have you done today with your Austin Seven - Ivor Hawkins - 29-06-2023
Thanks chaps, even when I was running Sevens on shirt buttons as a teenager hammering in kingpins was a no no...though a little “easing” of the bushes with various primitive tools wasn’t unheard of!
RE: What have you done today with your Austin Seven - ben10 - 29-06-2023
I'm about to go for a pint in my (new to me 3 weeks ago) 1938 APR. Earlier I tried to post for some advise on a inch and a half split in drivers seat but couldn't. I'm a bit rubbish with computers but there is no obvious means of posting a new thread and this may be a way in!!
Thanks, Ben
RE: What have you done today with your Austin Seven - Malcolm Parker - 29-06-2023
This morning I took the RL saloon to the monthly VSCC N. Yorkshire meeting in Ripon. Good to see three Austin 7's present including a very nice Ulster rep that has been recently bought by a chap in one of the nearby villages. The car has done a VSCC hillclimb at Prescott about four years ago and the new owner wants to take up the sport. I pointed him in the direction of the Bert Hadley Championship.
Also present was a delectable 1952 Jaguar XK 120 Coupe. You can only imagine what it must have been like back in 1952 when you were pootling along at 35 to 40 mph in your old Austin 7 and one of these overtook you!
