I like arcane comments in sigs. For me, with Horace, you've gone straight to the top!!

I too would prefer the value of Good Minors to stay a bit higher. I suspect there are many of us that have an agreed insurance valuation which is higher than the current market price lists show. While it's comforting if the vehicle is stolen, etc. the valuation isn't as readily accepted during a nor...

Judge, Hmmm, a misconstrued misconstruing of a previous post is starting to get a bit complicated :D I had no problem with the post you posted. Just the response I responded with that I thought may have been misconstruable. It's getting up there with the Danny Kaye 'Court Jester' dialog: Jester: I'v...

I have deleted a response I originally posted here since it may have been capable of being misconstrued.

Bill, Having done the Jogle and various long distance tours in my moggie I'm sort of interested in this. I realise that it's early days yet but how would you see this working? Would the three nights be for three 300'ish mile days, which in my standard 948 is six hours driving. If so would you see al...

Here is the diagram, just in case!

Now that is a Neat Idea!

I made mine from a circuit that was published in a 1989 copy of minor matters. While it may not be exactly the same as yours, describing how mine works may help. It uses a relay that is triggered by a 555 timer. The circuit has 2 variable resistors. one to adjust the time of the relay pulse. This ma...

I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.1 and getting the pictures ok.

But, assuming all the gauges work, I would have thought that they would have provided to much distraction to drive safely.

Well, whatever else it is it aint a Minor

I have fitted Temperature, Ammeter (because I still use a dynamo) and Oil Pressure Gauges, just below the Speedo behind the switch to dim the instrument lighting. They are fitted into the 'traditional' bracket with three 52mm holes in it. I took the cluster off a minor before I sold in 1978. I feel ...

On some still autumn evenings Shuttleworth fly their oldest aircraft. Do they have dates that could combine with this?

Certainly not!!!!! icon_eek.gif It's a different country!!!! icon_cool.gif I just wondered if it counted as north or south of the British Isles. Well I guess that if it counted as south of the British Isles Wales would be in France. Which would probably work since both countries have an enormous na...

OK,

The shop's shut folks. Kevin, Simmitc, RogerRust I have sent you PM's

Definitely 2BA on five old 25D distributors I have lying around and on those fitted to both my cars. icon_wink.gif Well if that's the case as I said I can get them for 17p each. At that price it's probably worth having two of them. If enough people show interest I'd be happy to get some for the pri...

I didn't know what size the thread was so I drilled my baseplate (4.2mm) and tapped it for a 5mm Metric screw. I can't substantiate 57travellers 2BA. It seems a bit big to me because a 2BA thread has an outside diameter of 4.7mm and takes a tap drill of 4.1mm. My old screw was smaller than that, alt...

Tired of fiddling with the Points Screw I fitted one of these. http://www.woolley.me.uk/woo/socketheadcapscrew.jpg It is a socket headed cap screw and because it holds on to the Allen Key it is much easier to locate the hole in the baseplate when installing the points. It also makes the job of adjus...

It's a bit unusual but I've sellotaped two rows of 5 amp fuse wire about 3mm apart round the inside sides and top of my wndscreen. I used Sellotape diamond ultra clear tape, so it hardly shows from the outside of the car. The fusewire is soldered to the central wire of 18 inches or so of coaxial cab...

What does the sprayer's epitath read?

Perhaps it said:

"Here lies a good sprayer but a poor speller"

I've got an old copy of a Castrol book called 'Car Care' It deals with lubrication. Under the topic 'Hypoid Gears' it says the following: "The hypoid final drive, which is a modified spiral bevel in which the pinion is set below the centre of the crown wheel, enables the propeller shaft to be l...

I guess you need to decide whether you want the new circuits to be permanently live (like the lighting circuits) in which case you can either pick up the supply from the A terminal on the Control Box, the A1 terminal (unfused side) on the existing fuse box or a new direct feed from the battery. Or S...
