Hi,
Our special has always had a mixture of brakes with the more modern girling type on the rear with pressed steel shoes and cast iron drums and the older type steel drums on the front with ally shoes. We assume it got the later brakes on the back when a rear axel was replaced for a later type. We would like to make the front and rear match so I have aquired the back plates and other brake parts but was wondering if the front stub axels would need to be changed as well or if they can be used as is or modified?

Does anybody know where I can get a brush spring for the C35M dynamo like these      , I've tried Googling it and end up with a million entries flogging brushes.

The gubbins inside my cut out for my Seven were missing when I bought it, so I intend to replace the coils with a Schottky diode. However, I am not sure what the resistance of the original resistance wire was in a 6 volt car. I can find plenty of information on-line about the value to use if converting to 12 volt, but I am not sure whether it would be same for 6 volt.

I am basing my conversion on this from the Cornwall Austin Seven Club website.

Hello all! My brother and I recently purchased a Fabric Body Austin 7 and I was wondering if anyone out there had some additional information regarding the original colour etc.

We're debating whether or not to do a full restoration, a sympathetic one, or something in between.

Attached are a couple of photos of the car in its current state.

What we do know is that it's going to be a fun challenge getting it back on the road!

Does anyone know anything about this "Rolvisor" - advertised for an Austin 7.

Sadly, I have to announce the unexpected death of Jenny Wilcox on Friday, January 31st. 
Jenny was the wife of the late Dave Wilcox, founder of the now popular PWA7C Christmas Trial. 
Together with Paul, one of their three sons, Jenny was a firm enthusiast of Dave's motoring activities, attending trials and other events, both Pre War and VSCC.
Along with many, I shall miss her. Our condolences to her family and her many friends.

Lots going on in this shot that Jeff Taylor found on the internet. The location has been identified as Redruth in Cornwall, and the street decorations probably celebrate the coronation of King George and Queen Mary in May 1937. The ARR Ruby in the foreground was registered in February 1937, and the Ford V8 Model 62 was introduced at the beginning of 1937.

Does anyone have an Austin 7 Tractor for sale?
