Hello. Thanks Philthehill. This ties in with a local enthusiast, who thinks it might have been a mini item. I'll get a photo and try to compare them.
Regards, Stoneporch.

Hydraulic clutch
Can anyone tell me which clutch slave cylinder was used by The Morris Minor Centre when fitting the Toyota 5 speed box conversion?
Thanks, Stoneporch.

Re: colour blind
My dad had been in the navy, but my dreams of being a Royal Navy Artificer (electrical)were scuppered when I was told in my teens that I was red/green colour blind. Other than getting a good friend very cross when trying to say complimentary things about the ongoing respray of his Rover P6, only to ...

Re: Cellulose paint
Thanks all for those considered responses. I started my painting this morning, without a mask at first but soon had to put on a mask and open the door. Fortunately I was only dealing with a small area and the operation has now been successfully completed (and the headache didn't last for long). Less...

Thanks Les. Well spotted. Better safe than sorry! I just hate having misted-up glasses.

Advice please.
Do I need to use a respirator when brush-painting cellulose without thinners?

Re: Garage Floor paint
I have been painting my garage floor piecemeal, as and when space has become available. I am using Floor Master paint and have prepared the concrete surface with Multipurpose PVA concrete sealer, diluted with water as per instructions on the container . When I temporarily ran out of PVA I used Stabi...

Re: 1275 performance
Hello Maurice, sorry for the long silence. I would be very interested in your 3.9 diff. I do,however, live a couple of hundred miles from you in South Yorkshire, so an inspection visit is not on the cards at the moment. Is this a diff that you have used and know to be in good condition? Could you gi...

Thanks for that Maurice. I don't suppose you still have the 3.9 diff?

Re: 1275 performance
Thanks all. I have,in fact, had a request on this forum for a 3.9 diff for several weeks, without any success to date. I have seen mention of people fitting a metro head- could this give me a bit of extra grunt for climbing very steep hills (like the Alps, which we climbed a few years ago)?

1275 performance
Advice welcomed, please, on the easiest way to increase power output from a 1275(marina) engine. Most years we do a two-week continental tour, and I would like a higher cruising speed for the inevitable motorway stretches. Any suggestions welcomed, bearing in mind that I have very little engineering...

Re: ribbed gearbox
Thanks both.
It sounds like I just have to persevere trying to poke the circlips out.

ribbed gearbox
Two questions in one, really. I have started to strip the gearbox because of a rumble, which was only noticeable when in neutral. Any ideas what could be the cause of this, as nothing is obvious yet? Also, is there a correct/easy way to remove the two needle roller bearings, at either end of the lay...

Re: 3.9 diff with 1275 engine
Thanks all for replies.
I have found a specialist diff rebuilder near to me, so I suppose I'll just have to bite the bullet. At least this way I should get a diff which will last the lifetime of the car.

3.9 diff with 1275 engine
Evening all. I have recently finished fitting a "new" 3.9 diff, which seems to suit my 1275 engine perfectly. However, the car now sounds like the bus, which used to take me to school in the 1960's. Can anyone suggest a remedy/fix for this, or must I continue my search and accept that if I...

3.9 diff with 1275 engine
I have bought a 3.9 diff with the intention of mating it to the existing 1275 engine, in place of the current 4.2, in the hope of achieving a slightly higher, comfortable cruising speed. Will this engine still feel reasonably active under acceleration, and are there any potential problems to this ch...

Re: Speedometer fault
Thank you for those postings. I have just returned from a 1500 mile tour of northern Europe in the Minor, using a free 'ap' as a speedometer. During the trip the speedometer became more accurate, but rarely to a reliable degree. I am resigned to removing the gearbox over the winter to resolve the pr...

Re: Speedometer fault

The speedo now performs as normal for about 5 miles after which it again becomes increasingly erratic, leading my wife to comment ...
