All, I am sorry that we had problems with the catering at Cornbury. Catering was booked 18months ago and they were providing 2/3 units. Food certificates were obtained and sent to the council in April etc. We do not take a fee up front but a contribution based on turnover from the weekend. 5 weeks b...

Have you tried Tim Lang classics as they hire Minors and MGBs etc

Russ,

You can get the correct 4mm beading, but it will need to be oversprayed in Platinum Grey if you want a correct match for colour.

Mike,

Mike,

I have stripped down a spare mm Axel to see what the differences are, it has the behive springs fitted. Were these fitted to the rear axel right from the start ?

Andrew

Thanks for the suggestions! U bolts re tightened - same No knocking noise until brakes applied, only from rear axle. Am wondering if new shoes are correct, does any one haev a photo of the rear shoes fitted so that I can see if thats what is wrong! Thanks Andrew As Mike says, does it click when hand...

Mike

why would a chipped tooth make a noise when the brakes are applied ? The axle makes no noise when under load, its only when the brakes are applied.

Andrew

Advice please, having passed the MOT and taken the car for a run, when the brakes are applied the rear brakes make a knocking sound. I have looked at shoes and they are installed the rights way round. I have cleaned the drums but cannot identify where the noise is coming from ?

Any ideas

Andrew

Does anyone know where can you get a set of Cork crankshaft seals from or the dimensions of the two bits of cork ?

Any thoughts,

Have now replaced the Rota Arm with Distribution Doctor red type, new Distributor cap, Condenser etc.

Problem is now after engine has warmed up 5 -10 minuters engine cuts out and will then restart but will not rev.

Have checked fuel line, and float ?

Any ideas

Andrew

what size are the HT leads on an MM 7mm or 8mm ? Has anyone tried the historical type of leads from Holden ?

what size are the HT leads on an MM 7mm or 8mm ?

Whatb would cause the rota arm top fail, took the car out for a run and after 40mins it stopped working. FJ recovery identified problem, na d new rota arm fitted, then same problem. would itm be the condenser ?

On the Export MM they were fitted with an AC Oil air filter, does any one know which oild should be used to fill the Filter ?

Thanks

Andrew

Rob,

might be able to help, but am away til Thursday, so will have a look in the shed when I return. Andrew

Can anyone advise which Speedo is correct for the 918cc engine? I have two speedos one with 1000 the other 1600, which is the right one for an MM ?

Thanks

Andrew

Hi I was at Kelmarsh last week, they have installed a newb road waywich has access to the rally field, which is well drained. We are not planning to cancel, but may have to rearrange the site to maximise the hard standing area etc. the forecast looks to be good so we should be ok.

Andrew

Hi all,

We have arranged for a shower pod to be on site for campers. opening times will be 8.00 to 10.30 sat 17.00 to 20hr Sat night and 8.00 to 10.30 sunday morning. They will be similar to the showers at Harewood.

Regards

Andrew
