No, but send me your address in a PM and I'll send it in the post.
Chris,
From what you say about the one kingpin, it would be worth extracting it and seeing if the axle eye has worn. they do! To remove the kingpin, you will need to invest in a kingpin extractor, which can be obtained either from Austin Seven Workshop or A7 Components. Oversize kingpins are available, but the best way is to contact Ruairidh Dunford at Alba Austins who, it you send him your axle beam, can shrink the eyes back to size for you. He is a regular contributor to these annals and is an expert on these cars.
Also, if you haven't got one, a hub extractor tool is essential for dealing with the brakes, as they cannot be overhauled without removing the hubs. Again one of the cherished suppliers can help.
