I'm 100% with Adam on this.
We've spent five years researching Austin Seven woodwork in detail and we continue to perfect our patterns and templates as new information comes to light. This has cost us a lot of time and a reasonable amount of money, but we can probably safely claim to know more about Austin Seven body construction across the range than anyone before us.
As an enthusiast, I'm very happy to offer general advice for free. However, my son and I earn our livings from our researches and I have to occasionally draw the line when people ask for free drawings, detailed measurements, joinery tuition or particulars of our suppliers.
The information is out there and can be found if someone is prepared to do the leg-work. "Cherished Suppliers", who have done that work and have often taken substantial financial risks cannot be expected to give their efforts away for free.
