I just seemed to have repeated what philthehill said, note to self - must read post properly

This what I did and used a cut down bottom hose as the top hose was no longer suitable.

An unfortunate consequence of fitting a damper is that you loose the timing mark notch on the pulley as it's in a different place on the Mini version. So line up the timing marks with the original pulley, fit the damper, and transfer the mark onto it. A shallow hacksaw cut or chisel mark should be e...

Just to throw another (controversial) idea out there I found I needed around .020" to get the valve to block clearance measured without a head gasket. Looking at the exhaust valves I noticed the faces of the valves had loads of meat on them (for heat dispersal I believe.) so I actually reduced the t...

A Mini airbox with a K&N element flows well and is nice and quiet. You will need the carb inlet elbow as well to fit the Mini filter box. I would agree the AAM would be a good starting point. I have an AAA fitted to my traveller which has a 12G940 head, HS4 with a Minispares alloy inlet manifold and...

A friend of mine had a copper pipe go on the front brakes on his Humber Super Snipe. He was just pulling off the motorway, luckily there was a fairly long slip road for the hand brake to slow him down

Is this of any use?

I found I had to make a big alteration to the timing when I fitted an Accuspark dizzy. So much of a change that I needed to move the leads round 90 degrees in the cap to get enough adjustment, works great once I sorted it out though.

A random page from a newspaper or plastic bag blown over the radiator grille that blew away again once you'd stopped, possibly.

I've just bought one of these for the Mini. Cheap as chips but they get some good reviews, no CD but has the option of USB drive, SD card or external MP3 or the like. Not fitted mine yet so can't confirm https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Car-Bluetooth-Radio-Player-Stereo-MP3-AUX-USB-Classic-Stereo...

Painful
I don't know if it's possible but it looks like a great candidate for a gas strut.

Very interesting, my wife is originally from Dingle and knows of the station.

Opening them in the sink with a tea towel over so the beer didn't hit the ceiling :D I'm working my way through a beer advent calendar my daughters partner got for me - he knows me so well :lol: Lagers and pale ales, some mainstream brews but a few I've not heard of. One went straight down the sink,...

Excellent. I've refered to this many times during my work on Ted the traveller and was very disapointed when it got corrupted

Looking at Panky's exhaust manifold it appears to be a MG Midget/Sprite manifold which has the manifold outlet facing forward. Martin Your manifold Pt No: 12G3538 will exit in the right direction and if the front pipe has been formed correctly will join together with the manifold without any diffic...

The first thing to check is to make sure the manifold outlet matches the 'bell' on the down pipe. I used a similar manifold and found that it was smaller than the sports system, I cut the welded adapter off and re-shaped the end of the pipe to fit the manifold. From there a brace from the down pipe ...

I've use Bilt Hamber Deox gel with good results. Not as quick as acid but a lot less hazardous, washes off with water and, if the instructions are followed closely. it does a great job

OOOOOOOOOO not far from me, if only it had the other headlight

I always find the Alfa Romeo one a bit odd. A snake devouring a baby (or very small human - or large snake)
