Erich in Seattle |

Erich Volkstorf, known here as " Erich in Seattle " was very recently diagnosed with a heart defect. He underwent successful open heart surgery last Friday, is out of ICU and recovering slowly but well. As a fervent Seven owner he was very looking forward to attending the Centenary celebrations with his son and to meet up with all you " Friends' " Sadly this is not to be.
I'm sure you'll all join me in wishing him a speedy - note the Speedy, one of his cars! - recovery.

KBS Coatings RustSeal etc |

Good news (especially for those in south Devon who can pop in to the shop) KBS Coatings is back available in UK.
Update on KBS Coatings paint etc.
I have just been using some more Rust Seal on my Austin car body and spoken to supplier getting story of current situation. Simon Hall at Milber service station is shown as contact but Simon Hall's Daughter Olivia has taken over (where her mother left off) as full time handling the KBS and she works from same Milber address at TQ12 4AU. Her contact number is 07928308377.
Web page www.kbs-coatings.co.uk[url=http://www.kbs-coatings.co.uk/][/url]
BBBUT it is not always up to date with what they actually have........I did search on ebay and found some tins/aerosols etc not on their website (all were KBS products Olivia was selling) so best to phone to get stock availability. She is still building up business/website and no doubt more products will appear. She is soon going to be placing another order with KBS America. (yes we can personally order through KBS in America but have you seen the p/p cost!).
Usual most popular items are number 1 thinners, AquaClean for cleaning, Rust Blast - a zinc phosphate rust remover/pre-paint primer, RustSeal - the actual paint and if it is going to be exposed to UV then a top coat of UV proof BlackTop - gloss/velvet/matt or TopCoater in various colours; essential also is paint saver aerosol to blow into open can if you are not going to use whole tin....this stops the curing-in-air process in the tin. It won't come off skin once dry till skin grows out so gloves essential.
See KBS home American website for all their products.
Someone recently asked about Wolfrace wheel refurb....they do a special paint in colours (including a silver) or even a clear cote to go on after polishing.
I have no association with the firm other than as a user.
feel free to pm/email me if you have a question on process.....I will try to answer warts-an'-all.

Dip-Stick Marking |

I have a 1931 engine with a dip-stick which is essentially just a length of rod which rests on the bottom of the sump.
How far from the bottom of the did-stick should the line indicating the correct level be?
I just want to make sure I'm not overfilling it and making the oil leak from the rear main worse than it actually is.
John.
