I just noticed that the hinge channel on my Speedy has fractured at the radiator end. (i.e. the channel that connects the scuttle to the radiator on which the bonnet is mounted).

Can anyone advise if this unique or which model it shares its design with?

Is anyone making new?

Help!

They are getting so good these days - its remarkable how they've even had to use a different-from-original shade of paint so it doesn't fox the scrutineers. And, being picky, the grade of leather for the strap appears to be wrong.

I’m pretty sure the following has been asked many times before on this forum but damned if I can find it.

Can anyone confirm what quantity of engine oil is contained in the sump between the max oil level line and the bottom of the dipstick?
Also I believe the gear box has one and a quarter pints of oil but is that still the current thinking?
And lastly I do remember seeing that the oil level in the diff is not recommended to be up to the fill level so again what is the current advice?
Apologies for revisiting this 
Cheers

Hi, I’m looking for a decent semi-girling brake drum please, I’m one short at present ☹️.

Hi Folks,
If anyone is in the South Devon area tommorow the VSCC Wiscombe Hillclimb is taking place. ( South of Honiton )
There is usually a class of only Austin Sevens roadgoing.
Plus a mix of supercharged Austins and full race Austins.
There is also a huge range of other exciting cars to watch.
A few of the Forum members take part.

Passing Corwen Museum today, I saw a red Chummy standing outside, which is owned by one of the museum curators. He and I had quite a good chat. He tells me that he has owned the car since 1964 and that it appeared on the cover of one of The Batchelors' albums. he also tells me that he does not belong to any of the clubs. Sorry no photo. I was in the 'modern' and didn't have a camera with me.

I’ve managed to get hold of a tank but can’t find a sender so I’ve fitted a Spright unit
I haven’t managed to find nuts to bolt it on unfortunately 
The OD of the thread is around 0.2 of an inch so I’m guessing 7/32 bsf
If that’s right anyone know where I can get some ?
