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!

Perhaps we can see a new thread on here. Instead of All alloy cup we could have All Iron engine
