Next Questions for tonight.
You may recall that I live in Toronto, so, parts and shipping will always be an issue.
Next Month SWMBO & I will be in London for at least a week. (16 - 23 of May or son in case anyone knows of a show or event that would be local to the London area)
With the car I received the book The Austin Seven by Wyatt. I have on hold, the book The Austin Seven Manual by Woodrow.
Are there any other publications that I should pick up/ order while in the country?
Also, are there any other things that I need to get - especially things that might not be available at a later date.
I am not anxious about tires - they will I am sure be available in a few years when I need them.
Somewhere while googling these wee cars I found a thread (not sure if this forum or another) where someone was discussing cast brake drums - the foundry was closing and some castings were lost. Are these available? Are they worth getting?
Likewise, I presume there are bushings somewhere, are they readily available?
Is there anything that you would stockpile now knowing that it might be a few years before you actually start on the car?
thanks all!
