Hi everyone
Where can I the correct shaped rear no plate from. Also when i was rubbing down paintwork on the boot i found the original paintwork (green) and the recess in the boot for no plate was black in colour it looked original was this the case or was it done at a later stage maybe ??
Regards Ian

Hi Mogwai
Do you know what the part no for the side markers were from Rubbolite
Regards Ian

on the subject of starters should there be a cover over the end of the bendix
that sticks out of the bellhousing as i think the bendix do not like any contamination eg dirt/oil

what a response from one question my carb does not have a lift pin but it does have a spring if you go to section B fig B15 it shows a spring ????

Looking to refurb my carb, just looked at my carb needle and it has GG stamped on it, the only one sold for the sidevalve is an EK The GG would appear to be for an 803cc OHV. Are the needle sizes set in stone, or are they dependant on using the one that gets the car driving most efficiently

Hi everyone
I am looking for a roadwheel for a 1953 MM. I am in Ireland so would prefer an irish based wheel because of delivery costs but will consider elsewhere will pay cost of wheel and delivery

hi everyone
can someone give me the measurement between the jaws of the tappet spanners in imperial and metric to see whether i can source spanners locally to do the clearances on my tappets and do you need a set of gaskets for manifolds and covers to do the job

Does anyone know what size spanner for sidevalve tappet adjustment, in the workshop manual the top spanner has 1/4 stamped on it. Do you need slim ones as specified in the workshop manual, if so how slim.
