Yes Dan, playing chart hits - thats quite embaressing too.

Well spoted!

Funnily enough, having posted this the judder seems to have got markedly less. Indeed, I didn't notice it at all on the way home from my parents which is odd. I'll have to see if it comes back, but I'm hoping that whatever it is might have resolved itself :) It probable felt threatened by your post...

I went bottle-digging this morning

Hmmm excuse my ignorance EL but is that some type of Cornish weekend ritual

Me and my Sis' used to go bottle digging, she has a mighty collection of old bottles!

My hand is a nice snug fit between the gear knob and seat in reverse!

real Traffy' Blue is a kind of Navy Blue, really. A turquiose colour is probably Bermuda Blue, or could even a very odd version of Smoke Grey but very unlikey to be that.

only to have the car spray oil cause the rubber wasn't fitted right. Just kinda off subject, but here's some tips about the old oil filter assy's: A great way to remove the old rubbers in the oil cannister top housing is to stick a pin into it and pull it out at an angle. A great way to make sure y...

Yes, like Ray, my Smoke Grey salloon has both a muted green and soft red under my top coat.

15W40 Magnatec is a bit over the top for a standard 1098 but it will protect it well and not do it any harm! (it's what I use in my tuned 1380). Cheers Cam! I was hoping you'd answer as I remeber you saying something about it in "Oil" (which i can't now find). It's just that I've got a bi...

Now, Is it totally okay to use Comma Trolly Jack oil to replenish the Armstrong shock-absorbers? Also, I know we've covered oils extensively before, but is Castrol 15W40 Magnatec perfectly fine for a standard 1098? The bottle says on the bottom in a kinda slogan-ish way "Synthetic Engineering&q...

Yeah, took me ages to ink them in my sketch pad!

Well, looks like we'll all have to be looking out for one of them smaller style LHD pivot plates for you guys then.
Eyes pealed everone!

Sorry Guys, but I havn't even touched a LHD Minor let along own bits of one... ...but what I do have is these pics to post up: http://home.ripway.com/2004-2/76758/Morris%20Minor/LHDvsRDHpivotplate1.jpg This shows the LHD plate (37) as compared to the RHD plate (36) as shown in an exploded view of a ...

What about the fact that the clutch throw arm sticks out on the right hand of the gearbox (to couple up with the linkage). Does this mean there are left and right hand gearboxes?? The cases and internals are all the same with the only exception being the arm mounting plate (which the clutch arm piv...

Yup, like the colour of Boris in my Sig' (below).

I have a set of "Red" strength clutch springs, to replace the softer standard "Yellow" strength 1098 clutch ones if they would be any help to you?

Thats the stuff! My '68 smoke grey has recently been trated to new carpets and thats the best stuff I found to use. Remember to clamp the new side carpet peices by the doors under the kick-plates!

Now, I know we've just been talking about the eyebrows, but...

...who likes the mesh stone-guards?

The Grumpies kit comprises two parts, as follows. http://static.photobox.co.uk/public/images/29/79/9742979.s.jpg http://static.photobox.co.uk/public/images/29/80/9742980.s.jpg Sorry, just going back to this thread, but if the heat shields are painted black, as they are in the pictures above, surely...

Untill about half a year ago, when I fitted one, my car had run with the standard steady and no cable... ...and it still has it's standard steady on it. Me, and the previous driver, are not exactly 'slow' drivers either. One thought is the softness of the engine mount rubbers. With the rubber gettin...
