Hi David,
I have a special built on chassis 288551 which, if memory serves me right, is from July 1938. I believe it carries the same back axle as that fitted to the Big Seven.
On the face of it you should be able to fit your B7 axle but others more experienced than me may see problems or modifications necessary.
Out of interest I’ve got 15” wheels which makes my car useful for hill climbs, sprints etc . On roads I get along happily at around 4000 rpm plus which equates to around 55/60 mph. Personally I think this is a good trade off as brisk acceleration is more important to me than top speed and makes the car fun to drive.
