Can anyone recommend a car transport company to move a Ruby from the Stockport area to the Midlands. I've been contacted by a lady whose parents have died and whose father owned a Ruby and wants the car moving to the Midlands.

As it is blowing a gale and heavy rain showers I decided I would look at refurbishing all the
internal door trims in the garage.
Some toffee papers and the attached came out of the drivers side door pocket when the 
trim was turned upside down, which got me wondering.
Was 363 XUN down in Devon at sometime, or was this just a 'flyer' that someone put in the car ?.
The time period around 1994 is a complete mistery for the car with only a few vague hints
of where the car might have been and who owned it.
Not found any information about this event on internet either.

The oil pressure gauge on my RP is playing up.  When the engine is warm and idling, and the oil pressure sinks to zero, it sticks at zero when the engine is increased and the running oil pressure is between 2 and 4 lbs until I tap it, whereupon it begins to read the oil pressure again.

Has anyone had one to bits or can otherwise offer a fix for this please? Alternatively, has anyone got a spare 0 to 10 lbs gauge they would,be willing to sell?

Hi,

Does anyone know what thread is on the wing screws that hold the opening windscreen in place.

I believe they're probably 5/16 but I've no idea if BSW or BSF.

Many of you will be aware of this website, but if not, it is rather interesting: https://www.classic.com/m/austin/seven/
The rest of the site can provide considerable entertainment e.g. scroll down this page to discover how to lose $687,000 on a Bentley.

Does this look as if it has always been a boat-tail?

After engine rebuild refit etc the Ruby MK 2 is now starting and idling quite well. Problem we seem to have now is coolant leaking from a number of manifold stud brass nuts. The manifold itself does not seem to be leaking any exhaust gases or fuel.
Are there any well used fixes?
We were thinking of undoing one nut at a time and getting some blue hylomar in there before refitting washer and nut or is it best to tackle this at the cylinder head end and remove the manifold completely?

I've just bought and fitted one of these units to my post 1933 A7 (as far as I'm aware they only make 2 models for A7s) and I can't make any sense of the wiring diagram they supply. Has anyone successfully fitted one of these starter motors ?

Anyone have a good photo showing clutch lever in situ as fitted to a Mk2 Ruby, we reinstalled the engine a while back and now when we go to tighten pinch bolt it looks like the lever is hitting engine crankcase and rubbing against sterring box, so may have put it on backwards. As it the lever is not removeable without lifting rear of engine so it clears frame we just want to double check before proceeding.......or any other suggestions??

Hi all, 
the auto-jumble is nearly here and I am really looking forward to the event. I will be there Saturday.
If you are going too and happen to see me please come and say hi. 
I'll be wearing this yellow T-shirt so you should have no trouble spotting me.
   
Cheers,
Stephen
