Hi John
I have joined local club it was one for the 1st things I did
I had the front wheels off today, cleaned off the old muck and grease, the kingpins are shot. Your quite right with regards to what may need sorting straight away. I had a 1942 WM20 BSA for years. Just need to get to know the eccentricities of the Austin 7. The carburetor needs some attention , I believe the worn butterfly linkage is letting unmetered air in so I have no slow idle control. Also I feel that the brakes are full of grease. Hub puller ordered.. Not going to mention to slop in the steering linkage.
