Hi Harry
I have just been advised by a friend unable to reply direct to your posting that he had a similar problem. He found that his petrol tank had been lined many years ago and that the ethanol in modern petrol was dissolving it. What he found was that after running the engine for a while after it cooled the residue in the fuel had formed…[Read more] -

Hello John
Just seen your posting. To the best of my knowledge/memory the runners should be one piece. Will be the only way to get a smooth action. -

Hi,
Varies on condition but I’ve seen them from £40 – £70. They are fairly common. Make nice desktop clocks when put in a frame.

Dave Waller replied to the topic Ruby driver's door key in the forum Bodywork and Interior 3 years ago
Colin, I have always bought my A7 spare keys from sellers at the bigger Autojumbles, Beaulieu etc. They usually have hundreds of used keys. You should have a number stamped on the barrel where the key goes in. However, it might be worth trying this seller on ebay…[Read more]

Don’t think they ever made a pick up version although it is believed there was a six wheel version used around the factory. Possibly built by apprentices.

Hi Peter
I have checked on the A7CA Register and there isn’t any record of it. However it is still on record with the DVLA but listed as not taxed for road use or MOT. This could mean it has been scrapped before it was compulsory to advise DVLA or is awaiting restoration somewhere.

Just been looking through the postings and hope you have sorted out your problems but a very useful book is the Austin Seven Manual by Doug Woodrow, Available from Mercury Vintage Publications. Not cheap but it is a big book and worth its weight in gold. Buy new as for some reason trying to buy from eBay people pay over the odds thinking it is out…[Read more]

Dave Waller replied to the topic 3 piece chummy bonnet in the forum Bodywork and Interior 3 years, 3 months ago
Bit of an old posting but might help others. Assuming it is a Ruby bonnet, fitted at three points by the centre hinge rod to a bracket at the radiator end mounted on the centre cross piece, in the middle by a special bolt through which the hinge rod passes and another bracket at the scuttle end.
Ideally needs two people to lift off and refit as it…[Read more] -
Dave Waller replied to the topic Shocks in the forum Suspension / Wheels 3 years, 4 months ago
Hi Tony
Bilstein shocks are totally different both in action and design to those fitted to Austin Sevens which use friction disc shock absorbers. Maybe OK for specials, trials cars etc., but mountings would have to be redesigned. -

Sometimes they are marked on the body moulding between the fuse mountings but also on the moving metal contact over the top of the coil.
