Great that we can agree to disagree !!!!

I’m happy with my drums, you’re happy with your discs, sounds like all is well

Regarding disc brakes for safety, I don’t think drum brakes equate to unsafe, otherwise they wouldn’t get an MOT certificate.

Selling on behalf of an elderly gent, he is apparently open to reasonable offers. Advertised here before ebay. I think there is a faceplate and spare chuck, and maybe other bits and pieces. It’s in Swanley Kent.

I’m selling on behalf of my friends mate, see ‘for sale’ section

How far do you go with mods before realising one might as well buy a ‘modern’ vehicle. I’ve reached the point of deciding wether to complete and fit a Marina engine or keep the original, it runs so sweet I’m starting to think I’d be silly to replace it. Some serious thinking required ! PS: I have fi...

I don’t know if, it fact, I’ve ever used full lock, I’ve certainly not heard a clonking noise. If there is metal to metal contact in this situation, and considered normal, I would think entering full lock with a more gentle touch would be the answer, rather that perhaps turning the steering wheel at...

Probably the front engine plate that Phil mentioned takes care of the engine mount situation.

Any potential buyer might like to consider an equally distressed bonnet for £474, recently advertised.

Looking at the prices Mark has posted, it is worth bearing in mind, that some legs have different arrangements for the area around the pin The original design is quite involved with considerable strengthening, something like a channel within a channel. I would be very surprised if replacement legs h...

When you see some of the wrecks on ebay that get bids, some folk will still be spending a few bob on parts!
Although I do wonder where the old car situation will end up, well motoring in general, for that matter.

I recently bought a starter motor from a seller on ebay, it is rated at 1.7Kw. Not for a Minor incidentally. Is this Kw figure a measurable one, as I’m wondering if, it fact, it has that rating? Hoping you electrical guys will know !

On reflection I wonder if the F is an E.

The F plate alone is enough to confirm the earliest date, ie ‘68. Plus that woman on the right wears a coat first available from the early 70s!

I didn’t think I was deficient in grey matter, but perhaps I am, because I prefer the type that clamp around the posts.
However a preference of the helmet type is purely personal and I don’t have any criticism.

Im pretty sure an aluminium plate and two rivets would post in an envelope with a second class stamp. 61p.
The seller probably knows this as well.

What do you mean? The B-i-N price or the P 'n P cost?

Both unbelievable.

You’ve answered your own question!

The potteries branch have compiled a very comprehensive Minor identification list of changes, and other details from various models throughout the years. Could be very useful to Chris for his version.

Oh well, you live and learn. Too late now.
