1923 Chummy - and a competition. - Tony Griffiths - 30-04-2020

If you're not a Facebook aficionado, you'll have missed this wonderful period picture of a very early example.
Remarkable to think that the basic chassis and engine design lasted almost 17 years; but, perhaps even more astonishing was the number of detail changes made in that time. Hence, nothing from a 1922/3 car would fit a late Ruby (would it?). It's called - "customer development".
Competition: what Austin Seven part, or parts, remained unchanged over the longest time span? I'll kick it off with: sidecreen hinges, used from the first post-pram-hood models until the last of the Open Road Tourers.

Does constant-loss oiling count Terry?

How about wheel nuts and foot brake adjusting wing nut?

Front mains retainer plate?

Side water manifold? Cylinder Block Barrel Nuts? Spring U Bolts?

Steve beat me to the side water manifold; I don't think that changed throughout the life of the Seven. Did the track-rod and arms and the drag link change?

Take it the picture wasnt taken when the car was new.

But I LOVE LOVE LOVE them foot scrapers.

Are they a period accessory.

I must make a pair for the 23 car.

Tony.

The wheel nuts did change. I think it was 1936 for the MkII Ruby they were chromed.

No, unfortunately, that's just a feature of the design, not a part.

Square camshaft Bush retaining nut?
