My first Austin 7, a Mk 1 Ruby CRA 212, had been fitted with bed iron angle under each running board, extending up under the front and rear wheel arches. This did nothing for the power to weight ratio.
A friend who worked in the steel industry told me that bed iron, especially 'Vono', was of very good quality. It also has a sharp 90 degree angle rather than a radiused angle. It is invaluable to the impecunious special builder.
