What have you done today with your Austin Seven

Using an Apple MacBook Air with the M2 silicone chip and OS sequoia 15.1.1 the drawing of the nosecone is upside down, but when I click on it, it becomes the right way up and further clicks zoom in and out!!,  (saves turning the Mac upside down or standing on my head on the desk  )

I can do the same with an iPad, it’s great for looking at detail, however, you have to take a photograph with the iPad “ the right way round” in order to ensure that the picture is the correct way up on the forum…but I can never remember which way it is!

Now that the ice has finally melted and temperatures are better for handling lumps of old metal, I have started sorting out the parts that are going into a new engine that will initially be fitted in the Pytchley saloon but which will probably end up in the hill-climb car.
First job is to get the new Hadley crank and rods white metalled, it is rather a shame that they will be hidden away out of view.   Having said that, it would be more of a shame if they ever decide to make a bid for freedom from the crankcase!
The crankcase is from 1934, fitted with one of Ruairidh's front bearing lip replacements.   The camshaft is believed to be by Jack French, and was one of Reg Nice's spares.
I have a very good block with cleaned up ports and Honda pistons.   Cylinder head will probably be the Ricardo one that is currently on the Pytchley engine.
