Re tight steering just a little more info on the car it's registered as an
Austin Felix I think it started life as a Ruby and there is a reference in the
paperwork to year of manufacture 1934.at sometime in late 50s it was converted
to a 2 seat sports it seems the engine has been modified valves camb carb etc
A cross flow Speedex rad with (now) electric pump modified front axle and so on.
the bodywork is steel tube and an Ali skin and a Pram Hood. It's undergoing a
FULL re build with new Ali skin and so on and so on I hope to finish it before the oil runs out Dan

Have now replaced the gear box after freeing of the clutch but. I am concerned at
how little pressure is required on the clutch lever to release the clutch what sort of pressure should it need ? Any help please

If you have a light clutch which functions correctly when engaged be thankful! In my limited experience the Austin 7 clutch can be an bit of a b**ger to depress and has very little take-up travel.
