Hey Guys,

Saw this on ebay and wondered what the theory/ story is behind this kind of mod?

A pal sent me this. At least he is enthusiastic for the Seven...

Anyone seen this before, as I haven’t!
When removing the pinion flange nut (forward end of the torque tube), the nut was stiff all the way off.
It seems to have stripped it’s thread, though the pinion thread seems OK but I haven’t measured it yet to find out.
Surely this can’t be normal?

Some time ago I was lent a photograph archive from the Austin Seven Clubs Association for research purposes. 
    With their permission I have been allowed to share a few of the images I copied with the forum. 
   First up is the well known Slippery Ann.

Sad news that Murray Walker has died. What a life, and career.

Hi all

This might sound totally bizarre, but has anyone done a list (or does one exist somewhere anyway) of all nuts and bolts associated with a chassis rebuild?

I want to replace all nuts and bolts/set screws and Namrick in Brighton are my nearest stockist.

So a list of sizes and lengths and the appropriate useage would be most helpful.

I'm used solely to metric nuts and bolts in the main, and getting into BSF stuff and getting my brain around it all is taxing me a little!

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Dear customers,

Due to a fire at the Strasbourg Data Centre in the early hours of Wednesday morning, which houses our admin servers,
our website ordering facility is temporarily out of action.

Our webmasters are busy working on this at the moment and we hope to be back later today.

I will add an update on this thread as soon as the situation has been resolved and facilities restored.

Thank you all for your kind patience.

Jamie
