Re: Glove box
If replacing, take care as there are several differing types according to model. All will fit, but it depends if you want the right one.

Re: Old English White
just to add to the confusion, I had an OEW Austin A35 years ago and the Holts (remember them?) rattle cans gave 2 shades for it - Old English Ivory White No.1 and OEIW No. 2. I could not tell the difference.

Re: Fuse rating (inline fuse)
Earlier cars ie my 1957, did not have the separate fuse for the lights. Everything fused goes through the 35 A fuses.

All those panels are available. Nothing is beyond saving providing you have time, patience and a budget. I have seen much worse than that.

Re: Zebra crossings
The legislation sits in the Zebra Pedestrian Crossings Regs of 1971. Useful for dating photos pre and post although there was a lag when installing the zig zag lines for the crossings. It introduced the concept of a 'zebra controlled area' denoted by the zig zag lines. The previous legislation was P...

Re: Fitting an aluminium GB plate to car
I got a bracket made up consisting of a shaped 'T' with the main oval the same size as the plate which is epoxy'd to the bracket and it uses the two central bumper bolts as fittings. I am still not sure the UK looks right on the Minor and would prefer a GB but such is life.

Re: I want to see clearly now
Beaulieu autojumble had still-boxed new old stock wiper blades a-plenty last year. I don't know if the dealers do on-line sales but it is worth a deeper search than the usual Minor parts suppliers or 'pop' down to the up-coming Beaulieu auto jumble and `moggyfes't too.
