Hi Malc

What car is this for. Austin Sevens for instance generally have T Type pumps and replacement diaphragms are available from A7 parts suppliers. I would think that if you contact your relevant owners club they will be able to advise. Beware that the material used must be suitable for modern petrol. The old,usually black, rubber is attacked by the additives in todays fuel.

Hi Many thanks for your reply, it is an Austin 7 AJ tourer 1934, according to the books I have a Mtype was fitted from 1932 to 1934 so I suppose they are a bit rare.

I assume then that you have approached the usual A7 suppliers, Holmesdale, Seven Workshop, Austin Seven Services etc etc? I am sure that at least one of them should have some idea of a source.

Many thanks for the info Dave, Ive looked at the websites on the A7 club but as yet i have not spoken to anyone I will try and find Holmefields no. malc

Hi Malc, It is actually Holmesdale Sevens. If you follow this link it will take you straight to the Austin Seven Specialists on the website.
