Morris Minor Owners Club

been there before. buy a 'gunsons ezibleed'. they are around £20. it will work and you'll thank me later.

Never seen one before Phil. Normal banjo would cost the same. That's a bargain

It was a 1098. I've done it to all of my cars. You can do it to any a series engine.

Drill a hole down the centre. Think drill size was 11mm and tap with a 1/8 npt tap. Any local machine should be able to do it for you for beer money while you wait. Or buy yourself

i am after the length of a cable for a van. would anyone have this?

also, is there a difference between the saloons and commercials in length of cable?

this is what i did last year.

My answer is not to go on a motorway in any classic. Too much risk. In a modern car, easier.

I bet all those with the old poor system of points and condensor must be wary. It would increase your chances of being stranded

Wedge the bolt in a socket 13mm with a small piece of tissue.

Size should be 5/16 unf.

Normally a tappet chest cover bolt is useable

In my view, unlucky. I've never broken any in 35 years and I dont know anyone else with a rear wheel classic that has either.

My only guess is lack of oil in the axle.

My 1955 A30 is still running fine on its original 803 and gearbox. But ,yes, it is ridiculously slow and really little more than an attractive curiosity. Certainly not a car for everyday use in the 21st century :D I always understood that as the A30 is a little lighter than the Minor, the 803 manag...

if you are using a modified clutch shaft, which i would guess changes the fulcrum point and lightens the clutch, would it change the throw of the clutch fork? i am fitting a 1275 engine (all midget) to a 1098 box using mechanical linkage. I have remade my own clutch shaft and have wondered if i need...

Used them for years. They are very good as well

what is rather funny is someone who spends 100's or 1000's on a set of tools only to use them once and then sell them on ebay for £90. My take on it is if you are going to use these tools regular then spend good money and look at it as an investment. you get what you pay for in life. If you need to ...

All is not lost I think. You can use a 12G787 manifold (on ebay at the moment) and secure the Hif38 carb with an easily made adaptor plate or just the 2 bolts. I'm sure I've seen it done.

i use a 12G3538 manifold with a hif38 carb on my 1098. I had a larger bore exhaust system made to the same as a standard system. works very well.

i would agree. i needed something during the shutdown last year and asked if i could collect it from their place without coming in the building. They said absolutely. no arguments. what makes it even better is this fantastic company have purchased more of Bull Motif. They now own the Austin A30/A35 ...

Same here. Gasket was the issue. Made my own and its resolved. I also use bolts these days.

would i be right in thinking the 1275 engine is "taller" than a 948/1098 engine? i mean is the head or block taller?

A35 drum size is 7" on the rear. Also bolt pattern might be different.
