What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Hedd_Jones]

Thanks Hugh, I think your measurement confirms my handle bit isn't long enough.

I'll send over a couple of sizes 



This is what I've been up to, the sticker on the nasty German made mag suggesting it was 'good' was correct. My test on the cat confirmed a good spark. On to test fit vernier and strap. All ok. Will now set valve clearances and time up. 



Which way is which on the advance?  And yes I know the fan spindle and pulley are coil ones.

I accidentally gave myself a belt with the original to the engine BTH mag, corroded as it is. So 2 out of 3 mags work, not tested the third yet as it has no leads.



Starter next. See if I can get some life out of the bacon slicer. Not hopefull



But I do have plan B

The other thing I have been doing is taking out the rear interior of the grey saloon so I can get the floor sorted.

The nobby springs, overloading, and my nature to be hard on vehicles means it needs some TLC, Not the dreaded rust, simple popped seams and splits.









Worst job was wire brushing the waxoyl off the underside. Pig of a job.





Delivered it to my friendly welder this afternoon, complete with temp number plate and no rear lights. I can weld, but not metal this thin!
