Re: Rear brake shoes
Having just checked the various greases and lubricant I have (at least 10) non of them have a use by or sell by date.
So long as the grease is in a sealed container it will not deteriorate.
I would agree with the argument for regular quality control/testing of lubricants used in the aircraft industry.

Re: Cylinder head refurb
Only the exhaust valve seats need to be changed. That is the old exhaust valve seats cut out and new hardened valve seats pressed into place. The original valves both inlet and exhaust can be refaced. There is no need to replace any valves unless the valve seats are damaged. The valve guides could b...

Re: Rear brake shoes
Correct - the rear wheel bearings are lubricated by the oil in the rear axle. There is a trend to use sealed bearings for the rear hub of a Minor. The sealed bearing is in some ways better than the open seal as crud/metal particles in the axle oil cannot get into the bearing and cause problems. Depe...

Re: Relocating rear spring hangers
The wheel is not necessary in the centre of the wheel arch. As the spring flattens & especially over time the axle moves rearwards and that is why there is a sliding joint to the rear of the gearbox.

Re: Relocating rear spring hangers
Before you do anything I take it that you have measured the distances/location in line with the BMC drawing. ride height 4.jpg Unless you are experiencing handling problems it seems a lot of work to move the spring hangers 25mm. That 25mm should not cause any problems. The only visible difference wi...

Re: Engine Breather Mod
I would suggest that one stainless steel pan scrub is enough. The crankcase fumes need to have easy passage through the pan scrub. Too much pan scrub could restrict the flow of fumes and then you are back to as if the breather was blocked. The pan scrub is there to catch the oil carried in the fumes...

Re: Hydraulic clutch
The kit was supplied with the option of mechanical or hydraulic conversion.
Mechanical for the Minor.
Hydraulic for the MG Midget.
The photo I have of the conversion kit appears to contain a 1275cc MG Midget slave cylinder or similar.

Re: Poly bushes
An observation re the ESM spring/bush kit:- The commercial variants of the Minor did not have rubber or poly spring pads. The pads were solid steel. The steel pads are no longer available so the obvious thing is to fit poly pads. The nearest you can get to the steel pads are alloy pads from Peter Ma...

It is strong as I like to make sure that it does not fail. There is a lot of loading on that bracket when the clutch is dropped at about 3000rpm. The front brackets which fit either side of the front spring mount are fully removable and can be reverted to original spec as the plates are only bolted ...

The length of the anti tramp bars is 22" between rose joint centres. The SPAX damper lower mount is not suitable for mounting a anti-tramp bar to as it is not a sufficiently tight fit to the axle. I have a spare set of Minor SPAX adjustable gas dampers with rear mounts so am aware of the mount ...
