Hood-to-windscreen fasteners - Tony Griffiths - 25-10-2020
A small but rather important part of an open Austin 7 is the fastener that holds the front of the hood to the windscreen uprights. Although the currently available late-type work perfectly well, they are not identical to the original. Should you be mad enough to want to make your own - or modify the new ones - the following collection of photographs (from a late 1930 example) might help: http://lathes.co.uk/austin-7-hood-to-windscreen-fasteners/
Does anyone know if the even later types were altered in any way?
