No cyclecars at the moment I think, just the Salmson and a 20/25 Alvis. The Herefordshire Section of the V-CC certainly have had Morgans, all too often "Under restoration" and the pictured Mike and the sadly missed Ken Mais had a Sima Violet, for a while the alleged recorded slowest time up Shelsley. Chummy owning frame builders include Malcolm Lyon, maker of bamboo bikes such as illustrated in the current VSCC Bulletin, whilst a very well respected rider through the lanes on Wednesday was Trevor Jarvis, whose workshop near Tenbury Wells is still producing the legendary Flying Gate.  Trevor is a former 2CV man.

As for asking for oil, I'm not sure that cylinder oil would be what I'd squirt into the three speed hub on my Dursley Pedersen.

Now, if anyone wants to learn more about cyclecars, some copies of the vital reference book, the Annotated Index, re still available, for a mere tenner a copy will wing its way to you.


RE: What have you done today with your Austin Seven - Duncan Grimmond - 07-09-2019

Yes please, I've sent you a PM


RE: What have you done today with your Austin Seven - Nick Lettington - 07-09-2019

Today I put the hood up for the first time in a while. On reflection, it may have been better to do so before the cloudburst! Rather a lot of water inside the car.


RE: What have you done today with your Austin Seven - Charles P - 07-09-2019

In lieu of going Loton Park I went to the pub. Didn't quite get their since the oil pressure dropped from a healthy 60psi to zero, thankfully whilst I was trickling along, not tanking it. And it's zero. No pressure at all.
My suspicion is the oil pump drive gear. The investigations start in the morning.

Sorry about that Charles, I'll go on your behalf tomorrow and see if there are any vital Seven snaps for the forum, sadly using the smart phone and not the Hasselblad.

Thanks Steve. 
Bit of a bugger if it is the pump gear. Right in the bottom of the engine


RE: What have you done today with your Austin Seven - Alan - 07-09-2019

I’d go for the pump gear- it happened to one of mine a couple of years ago. In hindsight I’d have been pleased if it was.


RE: What have you done today with your Austin Seven - Ruairidh Dunford - 07-09-2019

I had an oil pump gear key shear once, that resulted in zero pressure.  

That was on a standard pump.

It is possible to remove the pump without removing the block and the engine from the car, phone me if you would like to know more on that.


RE: What have you done today with your Austin Seven - Charles P - 07-09-2019

I'm curious on how it can be done without block removal.
Expect a call tomorrow

Ruairidh, unless it's a trade secret I think quite a few people would be intrigued to know how to tackle this one.
