What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Dellie]

As you have a widened axle on a special, I would take the opportunity to make up a twin shock absorber set up as described in the Austin Seven Companion, which would give you the opportunity to match the added axle width precisely

Is there something special I should watch for? I'm thinking the arm right below the hole with the short links. because if I do the arm above the hole the arm can interfere with the spring clamp.

Hi Dellie

i trust the extended track rod is safer than it looks! Would be a Warrant of Fitness fail here

It's widened as well but it looks solid actually. It's just badly stripped of paint.

With kind regards.
