Re: VENT PIPE
I do have the SU Reference Catalogue. Burlen Fuels ALT9524, Issue 12/4, December 1998. It states for a 1098cc 'A' Series engine fitted with a AUD 13 carb the needle should be AUD1478AN. The catalogue does not give a listing for the HS2 carb when the PCV valve is fitted/used or for the HS2 carb with ...

Re: VENT PIPE
The manifold in the photo above is the early 2 piece manifold for a H2 SU carb. There is no provision for either a PCV valve or servo vacuum take off. The manifold appears to have been drilled and tapped for a vacuum pipe take off. Only the later manifolds have provision for the PCV valve and servo ...

Re: What is this overflow? pipe for?
The idea is that as the pipe exit is low and in the under car depression slipstream and any fumes are meant to be sucked out of the engine and dispersed into the atmosphere. Not very environmentally friendly . Later cars had the breathers piped into the inlet tract and any fumes generated were consu...

Re: Rear damper link rubber top bush
Make a note of the part numbers as a supplement in your Army Minor parts list then you will have a record of the alternative bushes available.

Re: Steering column pinch bolt problem
Well done.
The correct bolt for this application is 1/4" BSF bolt but a 1/4" UNF bolt or in my case I have fitted a 12.9 high tensile UNF cap headed bolt.

Re: Steering column pinch bolt problem
Have you lined up the hole in the column with the waisted section of the rack pinion? With all lined up the bolt will pass easily though the column and past the waisted section of the pinion. If you have a shallow taper punch put it into the hole and wiggle it about and that should line everything u...

Rear damper link rubber top bush
If you are having to replace the rear suspension damper top link bush (the one that fits onto the chassis pin) forget the two piece rubber bushes or a poly bush and fit a classic Mini suspension damper bush Pt No: 21A1230. If you can find them bush 21A503 is even better. 21A503 is also a one piece b...

Re: Rocker arm identification.
As regards the non draining oil filter for the Marina engine the Unipart GFE 150 appears to have a one way non draining rubber flap on its outer ring of holes which is the oil entry side for the oil to flow into and through the oil filter element. The rubber flap helps to keep oil in the oil filter ...

Re: Half shaft refit - handedness?
If you had the half-shafts heat treated the process would have 'normalised' the molecular make up of the metal and helped removed any rotational stresses that had built up over the years. So it would not be a problem for the hardened half-shaft which ever side it was fitted to.

Re: 1098 Thermostat Housing??
The thermostat housing with temp take off was not a standard item on a 1098cc as all the 1098cc heads had a temp take off facility as standard. The 12A408 thermostat housing is quite rare though they are available new at a price from Australia. There is currently a 12A408 thermostat housing for sale...

Re: Car transporter size?
I have used a Brian James clubman single axle trailer to move my Morris about for several years and is a good trailer after having put up with home built trailers for many years.
The Brian James clubman trailer has been superseded by a revised model and unfortunately now costs a lot more than I paid.

Re: Rocker arm identification.
The oil goes everywhere because the oil filter is mounted upside down. That is the downside of having a Marina/Ital engine. There are oil filters that do not drain when removed - if I can find a part number I will post on here. The Marina/Ital oil filter can be mounted remotely so as to get over the...

Re: Camshaft-oil pump problem
There are ways of overcoming the difference in oil pump drive. You do not have to machine the block. Most if not all camshaft now sold have the slot drive. You do not have to buy a pin drive camshaft. You can with most oil pumps change the drive shaft to suit the cam drive. Use a shaft with a Woodru...
