Thanks for the replies! Luckily I found a brand new 3 part Borg and Beck kit on eBay for £12 so that was my bargain the other week. The current cam shaft looks to be in perfect condition, however I am going top get a piper 270 cam along with a peter Burgess Ecotune head. I will definitely need new f...

Hi Guys, Just wondering what you think of the prices i have been given to have the machining done on my engine. I am rebuilding it myself but obviously need the machining done by a specialist. I am getting it done by a local shop that has very good recommendations and it highly regarded. - Lighten a...

Hi Peter, Yeah that's the one! We will be competing in events such as the Exeter Trial. I helped marshal at the VSCC Exmoor Fringe Trial and have been looking for an Austin 7 since then. Unfortunately, the ulster style ones and specials that i like are a bit over my budget. I trialed an austin 7 top...

Hi Guys, My father and I want to do some trials events and would love to do it in a B GT. We would start with a rubber bumper car as its taller in the first place, but does anyone know how we could heighten it some more? Is there anywhere that we can purchase springs that increase the ride height? O...

Thanks for the replies.

My B already has inertia seat-belts fitted, so i can use the mounting points that are already in place. They are most definitely unused NOS parts so i'm confident in their usability.

Thanks,
Harry.

Hi Guys, I just picked up a set of new-old stock Kangol seat-belts (retractable) on eBay for £25. They look in perfect condition (see image) and they'll be going on my '73.

Hi All, Thanks for the replies! Peter - Yeah I can't image how one world drive a car to the lengths that to do that much damage! Okay brill thank you for the advice, I didn't think about machining the entire surface but yes that makes sense! Any idea how the dowels come out? When i get it machined I...

Hi Guys, So the engine and gearbox are out of the car and decided to take the gearbox off so that i could decrease and clean it. Upon removing it i noticed that the clutch seemed pretty new which i was very pleased about. I removed the clutch and the plate and that looked pretty new new also. Howeve...

Hi Ian, Yeah, my thoughts exactly! I have Peter Burgess' book arriving next week so im looking forward to giving it a read! Did you physically do the porting yourself? if so, was it somewhat easy to do? What sort of tools did you need? (im sure it will say in Peter's book but may as well ask whilst ...
