Hi Graham,

Welcome to the forum. There are a number of close up images of a 1939 Big Seven Engine in the first link below - interestingly this engine has also had its mechanical fuel pump removed, a blanking plate fitted and a period 1930's SU electric fuel pump substituted instead. The apparent reason for removal of the mechanical pump would appear to be that the owner has opted to install a modern spin off oil filter unit in the area previously occupied by the mechanical fuel pump!

I'm sure it should be possible to locate a replacement mechanical pump in the UK. Brand new pumps are available for the earlier Seven's - see link below, but as Tim has pointed out the actuating arm that runs on the cam lobe is a different shape to the arm on the Big Seven so unfortunately won't fit your engine.

Suggest you contact Robin Taylor at Austin Big 7 Spares - he offers a range of Big 7 parts - request his list of spares.

I would agree with the others your small photo appears to show a Big Seven Ute.

Below are some images of an Austin Eight chassis and engine - totally different chassis and notable visual differences in the engine as described in earlier posts above - note the much shorter in length alloy side water inlet for example.

Hi Graham,

I forgot to mention in my above reply - a very obvious difference between the Big Seven chassis / running gear and that of the Eight is that the Big Seven just like earlier Austin Sevens has a single transverse semi-elliptic spring on the front beam axle and two quarter-elliptic springs on the back axle whereas the Eight has two semi-elliptic springs on both the front and the back axles.
