Hi Stephen,
How is your build going?
Thank you for your comments, while I can claim the car as my own work, credit for the gear box must go to Andy Bird, the Supercharger was made for me by Mark in California and its demanding integration to the engine to re create Austin's first Supercharged 7 engine was done by Alex at Pigsty.
Knowledge is such a precious commodity, which when driven by a passion for the subject in hand is a wonderful quality. I am very much new to Austin 7s, and it is only with the help and guidance of some very knowledgable and generous people in the Austin 7 community that I have managed to make this car.
Dave Williams at the Austineers has been an encouraging adviser all the way through who usually has that rare early bit, while Alex is such a generous sharer of both his knowledge and time, he also has such fabulous skills, which are showcased with this supercharger installation.
There are of course some negatives, such as the Magneto restoration which so affected engine set up, but they have been few and far between. Compared to my experiences with other specialist cars, I would say that the A7 community is really well served.
Regards, Mark.
