What have you done today with your Austin Seven
Had a lovely day out at a local car meet. We were the only 7 and the oldest car there. We nearly didn't make it beyond the track to our house. Having serviced, washed and polished the car ready for the first car show we set off and 400yds later we were firing on 3, then 2 then none. A few checks later and I discovered that I hadn't pushed the rotor arm fully on. As a result it was about 3mm higher than it should have been and was pressing on the central HT carbon contact in the cap. This jammed the contact beyond its spring and left me with a poor contact. I couldn't prise the contact out of the cap but luckily had a spare so a few minutes later we were off for a lovely relaxed day.

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think!
