Rear Springs - packing plates

[Old Dave]

Thank you all for your comments and insights.   As is often the case I am left scratching my head (wife says it is old age!)

To summarise.

Young master Edge and his boss designed in a packing piece front and back.

These packing pieces (BR19 at the front, and either BR63 or BR81 at the back) are shown on the 1932/33 parts list. Relevant pages in the OP.

Both A7 Workshop and A7 Components have stocked the rear packing in recentish years. David Cochrane still has them listed as out of stock.

The attached schematic diagram (I don't know where that came from - old age again) clearly shows the packing piece front and rear.

Doug Woodrow's indispensable A7 manual mentions the packing pieces both in dismantling and assembly paragraphs of section J.

I will just after to see how the new springs measure up, and see what packing is in the other side when (If) I get it off.

The next decision then will be do I paint and grease the springs   -   I have had Yes and No answers from long standing A7 owners already.

Thanks for all the input - happy fettling.
