What have you done today with your Austin Seven
Hi All

Today I had a welcome full day in the workshop after a weekend of driving.

I completed an SU inlet manifold for the van.  It is based on an old updraft manifold (upside down) with the centre section cut out and a segment of 2 1/2” aluminium bar fabricated to take the two parts.  The joints are formed by heating the centre section and allowing it to shrink onto the two outer bits.  I don’t have a tig welder so for belt and braces I brazed the joints.  Seems strong enough, just need to clean up the carb and work out accelerator, choke and fuel lines.

Cheers

Howard
