Re: Mirrors
Okay, so the quarterlight would open, but you'd lose your view (and potentially your mirror since the mirrors can loosen over time)
(and I forgot I had it on the glass, not the frame).

Re: Mirrors
I fitted mine into the metal of the door frame where the quarterlight straight glass section is.
I'm pretty sure the quarterlights can't be used now either from memory.

Re: What Might Have Been
despite their bulk. People say alot of the bulk with modern cars is down to all the modern safety features that now have to be fitted, along with all the additional crash protection bars etc. I was surprised to see the concept still had a bonnet flash, would have thought pedestrian safety would hav...

Re: seat restoration
This is only what I've read so whether true or not I couldn't say 100% but... Apparently vinyl has an outer layer, this is the glossy top layer. Some cleaners can destroy this layer, leaving only the vinyl underneath. If that's the case then it's possible that your top layer is gone. However I did s...

Diff Oil Amount.
I have a 1963 1098 with the diff that has the filler plug directly facing you when looking from the rear bumper. I've drained the diff, and replaced the oil. However, according to the capacity charts the diff takes 0.84 litres, while others say to just fill it until it weeps from the filler hole. I ...

Re: Morris Minor Pickup 1965 not starting
I'm curious as to why the starter solenoid is all the way down there, is that a pickup thing? (the hole in the bulkhead suggests to me no). Surely that's a terrible place in regards to water splash up while driving? Also, maybe it's to do with that switch on the speedo, but I wonder what that lucas ...

Re: Ethanol protection for the original Valvemaster Plus?
Thanks, as I understand it the new Classic VM/+ is a different formula. It may have been on here, but there was a post complaining about the changes. The information in the post basically said there's now little point getting the Plus version over the regular version as the Plus version only differs...

Re: Ethanol protection for the original Valvemaster Plus?
Thanks for the reply, can I check, do you mean Castrol branded Valvemaster Plus, or Classic branded Valvemaster Plus (or both?).

Ethanol protection for the original Valvemaster Plus?
Hi, I just wondered if anyone knew of any compatible ethanol protection that could be used along with the original Castrol Valvemaster Plus (before it became Classic and lost its octane boost) as the company said their Ethaguard poduct must not be mixed with the original VM+. I found a whole unopene...

Re: What wheel bearings are these?
Is that a resealable plastic bag or something special? (I found the manufacturer of the seals, but not the type of bag you're referring to).
Also, so no clips then? I saw on eBay the front ones were sold with the clips (which I can't remember the name of but look like a hairclip).

Re: What wheel bearings are these?
Thanks for the reply - I've been avoiding opening them since I don't know when they'd get fitted (though I do need a front wheel bearing replaced on my car). So there's no confusion, I realise now that it looks like I've got dozens of packets as I accidentally duplicated some in the image :oops: so:...

Re: Detecting Coolant Leak (UV dye)
Can't wait to see your car come Halloween
Actually I keep meaning to get some RLD4 to trace a PAS leak on my other car, but since it may end up at the garage I might let them have the fun since they'll likely have to do whichever pipe is leaking anyway
