Thanks Willie, I'm going to cut down and re-thread the original 'long' studs so will work on 1 1/4'' from block, I have noticed the new gasket is not as substantial as the original, a lot narrower around the outside, I usually use a smear of silicon on gaskets, with good results. Gasket for housing ...

Spin-on filter
Hello, I could well be the last person here to do this conversion, ie: change from paper element to spin-on filter, however I've got the housing ,gasket and filter but can't, as yet, find the shorter studs that screw into the block to hold the housing, the next plan is to make a couple but would lik...

poly bushes
I read a post here a while ago about polyurethane bushes for the front uprights rear springs etc, I wondered if anyone can tell me if the different colours of these bushes are indeed to indicate various degrees of hardness or just a product of different manufacturers?

Thanks to all, I have finally managed to free the clutch using the method Willie suggested although it took about 10 minutes of revving and hitting the brakes, I can't understand it being so tough. Yes Cam, I was starting to think that something was broken and it would be an engine out job, but a co...

Sticking clutch,
I was so pleased with my moggie this afternoon, I had not used the mog for about 3 months, turned the key and it started! There was a smell of petrol which turned out to be a leak where the carb to pump pipe was clamped at the pump end. When I trimmed the pipe the rubber under the braiding was quite...

hello T72,
Excuse me sort of 'highjacking' this thread, but before the site went down you mentioned a picture in the club mag showing incorrectly fitted brake shoes, I've been trying to find this item for quite a while now, could you please tell me the issue it was in and the page number.
