i have had the steering wheel off and i can see the oops I typed a naughty word isnt hitting anything
does it have to hit very small triangular pieces of metal that have a small delicate spring attached ?

Looking at your pictures on the air filter thread, You will reduce the crankcase pressure if you purchase a oil catch pipe http://www.minispares.com/product/Classic/12A1735.aspx and fit it from the oil catch canister (front of the engine with small filter fitted) to the blanked off inlet on the rea...

When bought the car it had a nice installation of rev counter , water temp an oil pressure in the drivers glove box. The rev counter had never worked apparently as it was an RVI type that is fitted in series with the coil and is unsuitable for the electronic ignition which is fitted to the car ( lum...

If you look up the torque required on the pinion nut you might wish to modify your plan. I’v never changed one unless it needed changing. Does yours? I dont know if it was leaking however I cant justify puting it on only to find it is leaking... I willhave to think of a way to lock the system while...

Thanks all Great response Im going to swap it to the 3.9:1 Ive had a look at the unit and there is nothing that jumps out at me with regard to the diff (no broken teeth etc) Although the manual doesnt say as much Im guessing you need to withdraw the drive shafts before taking the old diff out. Also ...

At the moment I suspect I wouldnt need 1st gear at all . It would pull away in 2nd happily. On an A road Im in 4th very quicky , probably before I hit 40 mph. Once there I can get up to 70 mph ( only done this once ) I was hoping I could first go for changing the diff if it was a higher ratio. It s...

Will do Phil

Many thanks Mogbob

My 67 Saloon has a 1275cc fitted from a Sprite The gearbox and diff were left standard by the previous owner who had no issues and used it as a daily driver . The drive train is very good. I drove loads of Minors before i bought this one and the gearbox is the best I have driven by far. He gave me t...

I have a 67 saloon and the indicators dont cancel
Are they knackered or were they not self cancelling as standard ?

I recently ordered some bling for my saloon. Its not a standard minor so I didnt think it was to sacrilegious. I fitted one peak but could not keep it fitted as I cant believe they are legal. Having been involved with kitcars and SVA in the past you should try and keep sharp edges that could injure ...

Works a treat and discreet.

could you send me a pic ?

For oliver90owner and others. Hadn't noticed that in the photo. That pic was taken when I bought "Maurice". The clamp was soon moved to the proper place. Also, as you can see the bulkhead was filthy. It is now somewhat cleaner. There was at least 30 years worth of dust and grime, not only...

Many thanks for all the help and replies

Ok Contacted the insurance company today. Spoke to customer service who passed me to the supervisor who spoke to the underwriters... Fortunately they had taped the initial call and confirmed the clutch was not mentioned during tbe initial quote and that in any case the clutch has no bearing on the p...
