Thanks, maybe that middle one was from a 1098 Midget, don't think the 998 found it's way into a Midget I guess.

Brilliant, thanks. Maybe the 998 was from a Mini - think I was recommended that it was the best option for a 948.

Can anyone help me to identify these manifolds? I bought them ages ago when I was considering upgrading an 803 engined car to a larger 'A' series engine. I think the top one is 948? Middle could be 1098? Bottom - 1275? Cheers, Roger[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1466079591_6748 [/frame]

Thanks guys!

Is there a size difference?

Ummm! Not sure, any clues?

I'm about to swap out my gearbox and I would think it prudent to replace the clutch at the same time. I have a 948 engine and a 1098 gearbox fitted. My question is - should I fit a new 1098 clutch kit or a 948 one??????????????

This seems to be a good buy although it states reserved but not confirmed. http://www.mmoc.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=61453 Regards Declan Thanks. But seeing as the ad is pretty old I think it might have gone by now. interesting to know that a Midget box would fit - opens up some extra possibil...

They appear to be more expensive than the car

I need to fix a gearbox that jumps out of second gear on deceleration. Does anyone know the name of the part that causes this? Thanks.

Also, anyone got an old 1098 gearbox for sale that I could recondition, and then swap out over a weekend?

The gearbox rebuild manual was my invention. As said its only going to get worse and increasingly more expensive to sort the longer its left. Whatever is up with it its going to have to come out to be looked at and find the problem, could be worn bearings, worn dog teeth / synchro or a combination ...

Thanks, that does sound encouraging. I'm not new to gearbox removal, have done it to loads of classic cars over the years - just never attempted a gearbox rebuild before. Looking forward to the challenge!

My daughters 1960 948 is experiencing some gearbox bother. The GB is actually ribbed cased - so I'm assuming it is a 1098 box. We have 2 problems, Number 1 - jumps out of 2nd gear on de-acceleration. Number 2 - we started hearing some grounching noises from around the gearbox area at speed, and as t...

'I was jamming Isopon and chicken wire into rusty holes........ '

Wot? Chicken wire instead of scrunched up newspaper! Dead posh!

Lead loading is dead easy................on a horizontal surface!Anything else make sure you have something on the floor to collect what runs off to re-use if you're doing it on a vertical panel.Use solder paste to tin it first.Very satisfying though when you get it right.I used it a lot on my RM R...

As above, if you prime first ,the filler can not bind to the metel, the idea being that you grind /sand the bare metal to provide a rough surface to apply the filler(As per manufactures rec.). However you must get rid of all the rust by grinding. If you apply primer or any coating to the metal. The...

I have a few rust holes in front valance. I've Mig'd in some backing metal behind the holes and I'm about to apply a thin coat of filler. Question is should I prime first then fill - or fill first then prime?

Thanks, think I might have some lying around.

OK, thanks. Don't think BM stock the straight type - will order from M.
