Carby Dashpot
I recently rebuilt the carb and (silly me) forgot to put oil in the dashpot before fitting the Oil Bath air cleaner. As the Oil Bath air cleaner sits RIGHT over the dashpot you can't get the top of the dashpot off to top up. So I managed to get the lid slightly off and drizzled in some sewing machin...

Switch wiring
I have fitted flashing indicators to my 53 Series II as a safety measure. Currently using a standard three way switch which is working fine. However, I have picked up one of these old Trafficator switches and would like to use this switch instead as it is more in keeping with the period (plus it has...

Front Bonnet Gap
Having rebuilt my Morrie and back on the road I am now at the stage of sorting all those fiddly little jobs. One is the front bonnet gap which is too wide.

Well, I rebuilt the carb using all new seals and washers and......it leaked worse than ever! After much frustration and pulling the carb to pieces again I found that the jet casing was loose inside the housing. The jet itself was nice and snug, but the jet casing was loose. The only washer is a sing...

Leaking Carby - Series II HS1
Hi there from Australia. I have just finished restoring my 1953 Series II which I have kept totally original. She is now registered and on the road. One small problem is that I have a leak from the jet assembly of the carb. It is the original HS1 carb and was rebuilt prior to getting the car on the ...
