LED indicator bulbs

Hi
I have a 1968 4 door Moggy
I've just read a post about LED bulbs for semaphores, has anyone replaced their indicator bulbs with LED ones? Where can we get them and would you need to change the flasher unit? If so can someone provide a link?

Kind regards

Richard

Re: Electronic ignition

Thanks for the feedback, it's negative earth!. Do I just wire the new unit in place of the points and condenser?

Thanks

Brakes

Hi, I have a 4 door 1968 Morris minor, and have heard that you can fit a remote mount brake reservoir in the engine bay! Can this be done with a standard brake set up with a standard brake master cylinder? What mods have to be made to the master cylinder to fit the new reservoir? Kind regards Richard

Re: brakes

Hi Phil I have a 1968 4 door minor. I assume these are 7inch drums? I have replaced all the brake shoes and wheel cylinders/ slave cylinders, with pattern shoes. I haven't changed the drums they look pretty good! I've rebuilt the master cylinder. I adjusted each drum till they were locked then backe...

brakes

Hi all, My Moggie has just passed it"s MOT, Yes!! But one recurring comment from the examiner, who's really sympathetic to classics, is the brakes. He says there's a little too much pedal travel. I have replaced all the shoes, and cylinders and adjusted them correctly, the drums look really goo...

Front dampers

Hi I've got a couple of questions for my 68 minor I have a slight leak on one of my front dampers, will this fail the MOT? If I fitted a modern damper kit does this mean the old dampers are not considered as part of the test? Could I then drain the oil from them if they have no further use? Thanks R...
