Andy and Jeff, what is the barrel shaped thing on the engine top front? If it's the dynamo, it is the wrong way 'round. ;-)
Being relatively new to Sevens and perusing original manuals, I have found some of the older books a bit lacking compared to more modern publications. I'll note that those original manuals were written when the cars were new, and therefore major work was not usually required. For instance, checking the steering arm for cracks would not have been included in periodic maintenance. I have a couple of period Velocette manuals which give good information, but obviously assume a good deal of experience with engines and gearboxes, leaving a newbie "wrench"(mechanic) with a lot of head scratching.
