Yes, please delete that other entry and link the bigpond address to my ID 'plumby74'.

Thank you for replying.

Wishing to update my email to: pplumbe6@bigpond.com (Obsolete one is plumby@aanet.com.au) An attempted update fails however as I told that the bigpond address is "already in use"....... So, since I only use entity "plumby74", can you please either just force the change, OR delete...

Have done so. Phil

For sale now on eBay Australia I have some sets of the joiner-sections, they have a slight V shape. It seems they are rare as they can easily come adrift after some 58+ years. I also have (contact me by PM) some of the windscreen "hoops", those would need re-chroming. I also have ONE compl...

I am in Melb Australia, but I have a new set of the spring-binding rubbers (NOS, and stored in the dark) and can probably find for you a 2nd axle bump-stop too.....The latter would be Used of course: surely you can get those there, or settle for the later type?

I may have such a shaft, out here in Melbourne, Australia. Should not be too bad to package and post, but can you scan to me a picture or diagram extract of the Manual showing it? PHIL pplumbe6@bigpond.com

Did you ever get the centre emblem badge for the glovebox? I have recently gained some MM parts out here in Melbourne, Australia and have two of the plastic emblems complete, one of the spun metal earlier type, and a spare badge on a stalk. I know that they are hard to find! Also, there is a petrol ...

I have a choice of sound used ones here in Melbourne, Australia, some alloy and one steel as I recall. One could easily be posted. Will round-up the ones I have and take photos in about 10 hrs. Not sure how to post them here though........Phil

Did you get an air-cleaner correct for your early Tourer: I realise it was months ago?! I have that and also many part-used but serviceable Michelin radials (155x14), but Australia may be too far away unless you know someone who is flying back home from here to you!

Yes, I have had such bad silting or blockage in a 1098 engine that i bought that the localised area at the rear of the engine had overheated and the No4 piston had "collapsed". The alloy of the piston was no longer intact or those piston-rings working. Using wire and hose pressure was not ...

Sensational, Ben, she looks altogether great and I am sure that with your skills there will be few more blemishes to find once that guide coat is examined. Not sure about the modern steering column though: a bit of a shame to find that in a Morris Minor I think, even though improved/highback seats a...

Thanks ASL 642, that is word of a great + simpler solution, so please post the closer pics of the bracket that Tom Roy sells, as fitted to your car, on this thread if you can. What are your seats in the feature car taken from, and was making up under-frames difficult? Ben yes, I was involved at the ...

Hi Ben, You are making great strides, and really get things done when you can weld AND spray-paint. It appears you have not yet removed the roof and cut the windscreen-top? I have the pics and detailed instructions on DVD for that to be done, which I purchased from a source in the UK. Have you got t...

Hi, I am Phil in Melbourne. I'd LOVE to have your car Rotisserie and improved weather! Am doing a similar conversion at present, but I got the parts and Plates from an original, super-rare for Australia M1000 Convertible that was rusted out. I cut off the parts I needed to use again (or for referenc...
