The method of stamping is reverse stamping, or embossing. Embossed
characters protrude from the data plate, like letters and numbers on a
credit card. For a quote please email or write with an exact
description of your embossing requirements.
NB: CHASSIS PLATE STAMPING IN THE UK. You must provide: a blank data plate to be stamped with either the original data plate showing exactly what you want stamped and where it is to be stamped on the plate, or a drawing of the data plate with the information printed exactly as you want embossed on the blank data plate. In cases where a chassis or VIN plate is to be stamped, the plate will only be supplied following receipt of a copy of your log book/registration document with your name and address proving you are the legal owner. If you send the original plate along with the blank, and just want it reproduced exactly as originally stamped, because of deterioration of the original tag, etc, there will be no need to send any other proof of ownership.

Negative or Positive earth systems allowing so as to keep the vehicle as
original as possible.
ALSO The Powerspark D31 Electronic Distributor is a direct replacement for the original DK4A Distributor, which has been out of production and unavailable for more than 50 years. The original DK4A Distributor was fitted to Austin 7 and Big 7 cars from 1939 to 1947, meaning owners of these cars can now buy an off the shelf electronic ignition system complete with the entire distributor. It is available as both positive and negative earth. Featuring a top entry cap and screw in acorn connections, the new distributor comes with an up to date electronic ignition kit to improve the reliability and consistency of the spark. The D31 Distributor also comes with a CA31 Distributor Cap, which can be purchased separately for those customers not wising to upgrade the full distributor housing.

Wide range of tyres with online search facility. They supply a 400/425 x 17 tyre specifically for the Austin Seven Ruby. Longstone have always done their best to offer a club discount to Austin Seven owners, as they are Austin Seven people. The design and dimensions of the 400/425 x 17 Longstone Tyre are taken from an original Austin Seven Ruby tyre with the intention of providing a tyre that is close as possible to the tyre that which a Ruby left the factory on. The carcase is designed to suit a light car, which has a reasonably strong carcase to try to diminish the wandering of a Ruby at cruising speeds.
