Yes, I think it is zinc. It's a neat and fairly inexpensive solution, with low maintenance. Better than the sedum roof suggested by the architects...

Ringing at three churches this morning for St George’s day, ringing went well, Austin went better!

Also popped into the pub....

Awoke the AG from her winter slumber and went for a trip around town for Drive-it-day.

I drive mine most days, so don't worry about a special excuse to use it. Yesterday I connected a battery to a starter motor on a spare engine and spun it over... now does anyone know what fittings I need for an oil pressure pipe?

This looks about right... any thoughts?

The Sheffield group had a good turnout for "Drive it Day/St.George's Day" with around 24 of us enjoying a morning coffee at "The Robin Hood" above Baslow, followed by a memorial run for George Astell around the Peak District. We finished with lunch at the now frequently-visited Crispin Inn in Great Longstone. In contrast to the Sevens that spent a lot of the day in low gears, the 12 that accompanied up managed most of the run in the top.
The two 1934 Rubies make an interesting contrast: Anne's restored and James Smith's unrestored, very original version.

I built the engines in both those Rubies.

Thanks Ruairidh. What goes on the gauge end... I don't remember a pointy nipple? Does it use the same nut with a flare like a brake line?
