I am thinking they modified someone elses or made their own. The problem I am finding is with the original type, the sheath moved and the cable is fixed. So when you pull the lever, it pushes the sheathing. I have considered fabbing a bracket to adapt to the stock frame mounts and using the brake levers (I have all three other types posted in this blog), but it would just lower the handle in the footwell, which is in stock form intrusive. I am going to borrow the one from my buds 64 Seven and make one this winter. Will post how it turns out. Will have to make the fitting that pushes on the sheath too, brass should do there...

Very Nice Seven as ordered. Lots of history with that dealer ship suppling Sevens here. Even had five 7's in their phone number! Have the best of times with your Seven, V

Still in need of Handbrake lever for my 79. Any info about what they came off of / mods / and a source is greatly appreciated!

Lebrunseven, I will buy it. Will email you. Vinman1

John, Good to hear from you and thanks for the info. Been enjoying the Seven and its mostly sorted out. E brake and wipers still to be resolved. I got an E-brake cable set up (moving sheath type) from a USA Seven member and adjustable screw clamp wiper arms from Moss. Moss did not have 7" blade type wiper blades. Looks like the Hot Rod guys sell a trimmable blade for chopped roof cars. Will hunt for a pre 78 Spit / Herald hand brake handle. Will be trailering the Seven to the British Invasion in Stowe, VT along with a couple other Seven owners and their cars. Looking forward to the cooler weather as the engine runs cool, not so for the driver! Got to wrap the header... Cheers, Vin

Yes, Morgans and also Mercury Capri's are my go to for crossflow parts searches

Scott, Thanks for the info. I will reach out to crazyhorse or Morgan Spares to source. Cheers, V

Maybe you can drill a hole in the arm at the center of the wheelbox shaft, and use a small puller to get them off? Perhaps a bit of never seize I should consider on mine...

Hope all are getting some road time in your Sevens. Ventured out of town in mine to show the car at Heritage plantation in Sandwich, MA. The shake down runs are getting longer! The clamp on wiper arms (Moss # 164-640) look great. Now just need short bayonette style blades. The E brake handle and what car they came from still a mystery... Cheers, V

Dave, Yes, I would like to purchase it. Let me know what shipping cost is and I will send total amount. Is Paypal good? Greatly appreciated, Vin

Ordered some clamp on wiper arms from Moss part #164-640. Will keep looking for short blades to fit them as per conversation with Moss does not have any short enough. Handbrake set up is still very elusive...

Still in need of wipers and Handbrake set up. Any info greatly appreciated. Vin

Blake, I have a Green nose cone. It is for a "long nose" Seven. Not sure if it is correct for a 1997? Can send pic if you think it will work. V

I got the hydraulic clutch for the type E Rocket box trans sorted. I got a set up from RetroFord in the UK. It installed and works flawlessly and I would highly recommend! I was able to speak with the owner and designer of the system who answered any questions. Top notch! Cheers, V

The crankcase vent is a hole right above your fuel pump block off plate. Looks like there is a plug in it. I connected mine and the valve cover vent to a cannister sourced from Burton and is working fine. I did not put the drain back line in, and am not getting any build up in tank as of yet. Drawing is from Burton tuning guides found at the bottom of their web page.

What trans do you have?

Better pic of Ivey gasket on pan I removed due to ground clearance issue. Twice as thick as the ones that came with stock gasket kit

I had to make a throttle cable bracket and a vibration brace for the carbs. Had vacuum leaks at the carb with the soft mount kit. used regular washers with the rubber gaskets, carbs finally leak free and able to be balanced. I managed to get the exact same oil pan you have from a club member. I had to modify the holes on the non carb side to make fit, but has worked out awesome! I used Permatex Ultra black and the front / rear main seals are great stuff I got from Ivey Engines. Although it works, next time I will use Permatex Tack to hold the Ivey gaskets to the block, they overpowered the Ultra, so it two of us to keep them in place when putting the pan on.

The x cross member in front of the engine helps. Mine does not have it, so I had slit a piece black irrigation pipe to protect it. Glad I did, since I had the engine in an out five times.

I have an AutoSparks harness in mine. Maybe thats why I am having a charging issue?

wdb, Congrats on getting to this point, seeing the engine in, and the reality of making it breath fire very soon, is a great milestone on these car build adventures! Cheers, V

I got some for a Mini that were not correct. The ones I borrowed are much smaller and have a screw type clamp.

Hope all are enjoying their Sevens. Looking for wiper arms & blades (or car that Sevens used them from). I borrowed a pair from a friend's '64 for Inspection. They are Anco with a screw down clamp assembly at wheelbox. Those worked really well. Also, need handbrake bits, any and all from handle to live axle. V

Looks great, I like the baffle set set up. Did you make it?

This is the pan. Has a really nice four way baffle system. Note that, although wider, it is the same height as a stock pan, meaning you will not gain any ground clearance. That is why it is best for track use, or maybe a car that sits higher than mine. The guys at Ivey are great and were a lot of help. Many more photos of this pan on their web site https://iveyengines.com/parts/ I will probably sell mine since I don't see me swapping it back for track days.
