What have you done today with your Austin Seven

 Will be very interested in your impressions. I fitted lever hydraulics to my RP. Greatly reduced pitching on certain poor surfaces but seemed to little alter handling. The same fitted to the rear trnasformed the car and enabled broken patches, metal corrugations, shingle drifts to be encountered at terminal velocity and survive. Roll was much reduced/slowed and the associated snap oversteer, terrifying on unsealed roads. But the Ruby rear sas are more effective.

Hi Bob,

Probably a bit soon to give an account of the handling, but first impressions after a 2 mile run around the pot holed streets of Doncaster for a 'shakedown' are that the car feels a lot more 'planted'. I can't claim there was a dramatic change - a longer run might be more revealing. The least that can be said is that the Ruby's front end looks a lot cleaner and shinier than it was before!
