  Chassis rivets /bolts
Posted by: Peter Naulls - 11-06-2025, 08:27 PM - Forum: Forum chat... - Replies (10)

Can someone please educate me about grades of bolt? I popped a rivet out of the chassis today going over a speed hump. What would be a suitable grade of replacement and how would I recognise if I had one in my miscellaneous box of bolts?

I notice the adjacent one has already been replaced so the break may have been an allen screw not a rivet.

  AT 201 rear lamp
Posted by: Erich - 11-06-2025, 08:02 PM - Forum: Forum chat... - Replies (7)

Hi All,

I've got a set of these which appear to be original. They are missing the clear lens which illuminates the number plate. A piece of clear plastic has been substituted. The prismatic red rear lenses are fine. In looking for a clear glass lens, I came upon Paul Beck Vintage Spares which supplies what appear to be the same lights, as reproductions. But they call them Lucas L 582. Are these different than the AT 201s I have? If they will supply the clear lenses separately will they fit my AT 201s? Was AT 201 an Austin rather than Lucas reference?

  Bryngarw 2025
Posted by: Howard Wright - 10-06-2025, 07:44 PM - Forum: Forum chat... - Replies (1)

So Liz and I started off on Friday with a slight domestic about whether the hood should be up or down. I won and we got down to Bryngarw park over Bannau Brycheiniog, the Rhigos and Bwlch without incident or dampness. A hardy bunch of pre Bryngarw campers opened; cans, bottles and crisps for a convivial night feeding the midges!

Saturday was wet enough for me to agree to put up the hood and cars flooded onto the rally field for the ‘tour’. So many (over 20) we needed to split it into two groups. The numbers greatly increased over normal by the super contingent from Cornwall. One group had ice cream from Sub Zero the other’s route finding left a bit to be desired and they missed out.  Over the Bwlch again with Daffyd Rhys loosing gallons of oil from his RP (later diagnosed as a cracked oil gauge pipe!). Back at Bryngarw the BBQ was lit ……then the heavens opened. But the skill of Arthur White kept it going so the midges could again feast on flesh.

Sunday dawned sunny and bright (but dulled a little as the day wore on). 29 Austin Sevens and 11 others made a spectacularly full field.  By five everyone apart from your’s truly and Alan and Sally Osbourne (all the way from Eastbourne) put up with a local yobs party and a very vocal tawny owl for much of the night. Liz and I set off back to be plagued by fuel pipe issues (a copper pipe came unsoldered) but Halfords, in Neath, came up with rubber pipe and hose clips to save the day.  We clocked up just over 200 miles.  A great big thanks to Peter Hales who did the lions share and all the club officials (oooops one of those is me!).

  Loud Rattling from 4 speed synchro box
Posted by: Turboseven412 - 10-06-2025, 06:15 PM - Forum: Forum chat... - Replies (4)

Hi all, 

I have a 34 RP with the 4 speed synchro box and as the title says it has a very loud rattle in 3rd gear.  It's had this rattle since I got the car about 6 months ago and I've been blissfully ignoring it as I've done getting on for about 1000 miles give or take.  But now the rattle is certainly getting louder and has been joined by a quieter intermittent rattling in 4th gear as well.  It's generally quiet when cold then gets to rattling when warmed up, worse under load.

 I'm no stranger to rattling gearboxes and I'm generally inclined to just turn the radio up and say things like 'Oh it's meant to do that'  to whoever's sat in the passenger seat, but I'm starting to think I should do something about this one.  Especially as I spend so much time in 3rd gear chugging up hills it is getting pretty difficult to ignore.

I'm hoping to find a serviceable gearbox to buy and replace it with while I tear it down and hopefully repair whatever is the matter with it, if anyone knows of any for sale?  

Are the different gearboxes interchangeable with each other - 3 speed with 4speed etc. or is there a lot needing to be changed?  

Thanks!

Chris
