Re: TORCH!!
I GOT ONE OF THOSE!!!! Can you tell, Mick, about the LED conversion and where to get it? Regards from MikeN. Nothing special, Fleabay has plenty of places offering LED replacement lamps to fit torches. Just look up the type you need, typically E10 for screw in lamp and the ones with no thread, but ...

Re: Black Speedometer Sender Ohms Range
I remembered this coming up before, sort of... https://board.mmoc.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=73913 The early one is the range you've been quoted. I seem to recall reading somewhere that the later style Smiths Sender is 240 Ohms empty and 20 Ohms full, in the opposite sense to the early ones. Holden for ...

Re: 5-30 synthetic oil
There's some good answers here already. I'm of the opinion that some of your assumptions are flawed; for example your observations about differences the oil recommendations between the AKD530 issue 2 and Issue 14, probably some 20+ years apart are easily explained. When the Minor first arrived in 19...

Re: Strange Pump arrangment....
The pipework simply joins the two inlet connections and the two outlet connections from the two individual SU pumps. The " modern " connectors you've marked , would take the " supply" from the fuel tank and "deliver" to the carburettors. Bob No it doesn't. The pumps ar...

Re: Dynamo/Starter Motor Identification (are these Minor parts?).
It's a pity there's not in better focus, can't make out much of anything... Starter for all Minor as far as I'm aware is a Lucas M35G, but the M35J is essentially the same Starter, just a change of end plate design as far as I'm aware. I think the J was standard in 1275cc engines such cars as MGs. D...

Re: 1098 engine & gearbox in a 948 (1961) saloon. Good idea? Bad idea?
You might find this discussion from 2013 informative: https://board.mmoc.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=50506 That's a good read, thanks. I wonder if sticking with the original 948 diff would be a bad thing to do. Don't ask me that one. I brought my car (SII) believing it to be fitted with a 948, the 803 g...

Re: How many of you can weld, and how did you learn?
I've got a Stick Welder which I've used to do simple jobs like replace broken brackets on Exhausts, or fix gaps on Silencers. The cost of the machine has been recovered just by those simple jobs which don't requite any particular skill. A rear box for my Ford Kuga is around £180+. I brought a £99 We...

Strange Pump arrangment....
Just spotted a job lot of SU fuel Pumps for sale on ebay.
This arrangement caught my eye . Any thoughts on what they were tying to achieve?
I've drawn the circuit arrows on. . Supply from where??

Re: XPL59G
It could potentially be in a museum somewhere or private collection as a remote chance - I was watching an old (90's) TV program the other day, it had a vintage 1920/30's Bentley sports car on it - DVLA have no record of the plate on it, but I find it very hard to believe it got scrapped :D (not sa...

Re: Wipers
Sounds to me like the motor is struggling.
Either as Stephen suggests, the Motor & Gearbox needs a good overhaul, or you've not assembled it all correctly and something is a bit stiff/binding.

Re: XPL59G
Don't expect anything from this. As you've probably seen, using the DVLA Vehicle Check site, it's been un-taxed since 1/3/2005, but with a last V5C issued 2007, so it's been 'off the books' for 17 years. Almost certainly scrapped many years ago, before they tightened up on scrap yards not doing the ...

Re: Number plate light
So it turns out it was a blown fuse. Inline fuse under the voltage regulator. Is it ok to rewire this for a newer blade style fuse holder? That inline fuse is for far more than the Number Plate Light, it's all the side lights and the panel lights too. You probably ruptured it while fiddling with th...

Re: Remote battery isolator
Nothing wrong with an internal isolator, however I have one fitted to a battery terminal under the bonnet. I’m sure if I had a problem, I’d be under the bonnet pretty quick ! However if there was a fire, wouldn’t it be like bolting the door after the horse had bolted ? An electrical fire i.e. a bur...

I may have discribed the problem a little confusing. Regardless of who's driving with the servo connected the brakes are quite violent when pressed.
