Re: HIF38 Air Boxes
I have an air box from a metro on my similar setup. The only modification I made was to trim a little off the intake tube to clear the radiator.

Re: Cooling Fan Recommendation
I had to put an electric fan on mine as there were regular "traffic flow problems" where I lived then, and the engine driven fan at idle could not flow enough air to keep the water cool. (On one day, there was Morris Marina sitting on the side of the road in a cloud of steam as well.) The ...

To add a bit more info about these, - they have an internal spring that re-centers them.

Re: VariFlow Dampers
Interesting links. Thanks for finding them. I'm guessing Google thinks that if a search is from NZ, it must be about the dairy industry.
I suppose the mentioned " special technical department operated to cope with inquiries" is long gone.

VariFlow Dampers
Anyone know anything about these?

Made by Spax, adjustable, same size as rear Morris Minor Armstrong Dampers.
When I search online I keep getting information about milking equipment valves.

Re: Classic car snobbery
Almost related to this topic, when I'm out in my flatdeck truck I get lots of waves from farmers, either on foot or in farm vehicles. I guess they used to have one as a farm truck years ago.

Re: Indicator buzzer or click modification
Just did this in the car. Works well. I mounted the relay onto a spraycan lid which made a sort of resonant chamber to up the volume. In the truck I have the indicator relay is already mounted inside the cab so no need for that to be done.

Re: Carburettor vent size
On mine there is a plastic push in restrictor in the tube on the carb. When ever I take off the hose it always gets trapped in the hose, so they can easily go missing.

Re: Pick ups with wooden backs
Mine has always been a flatdeck. It would have been imported as a CKD cab/chassis and had a suitable deck built for it here (NZ). One guide, if it was an original cab/chassis, is the absence of holes in the rear cab panel where the wellside panels would have been attached. [frame] http://mmoc.org.uk...

If you put some heat shrink tube over the prongs of the spring clips it will protect your fresh paint.

As a temporary fix, to keep stones out (had it happen) maybe clean the area and use some duct tape or similar.

Re: Oil Gallery Screwed Plugs
A suggestion for the brushes, if you are finding them hard to find, is to look at gun cleaning supplies for the bore brushes.
Good modification to the block too. I have had a leaking plug, aluminium, fresh from the re-conditioner.

Re: reversing light
The Switch is just one that I found in an electronics store. It was one I bought for something else.
After 4 years it is still going strong, and reliably, apart from needing one re-adjustment of the arm.

Re: Water temperature?
That gauge Looks similar to one of mine. It runs from 12v, so the voltage stabiliser (10V) would not work too well as a supply. It shows consistent readings but maybe not totally accurate readings.
Get used to where it normally reads and take note of any deviation from normal.

Re: Air filter for 1275/HS4
For an HS4, a filter from a Morris 1800 will fit with a bit of modding of the base plate (or modding of the HS2 original base plate). It will take a K+N filter element if you want too.

Re: 1275cc Upgrade
I have a std 1275 in my truck. Initially it had a long centre branch exhaust but now does not. I found that while it breathed well at higher revs, it was flat and sluggish in the lower rev range where I do most of my driving. A std 1275 Mini cast exhaust manifold is on there now and while it looses ...
