... You've all seen the pic... http://www.geocities.com/doris_minor/GreenyFront.JPG ...I'm absolutely baffled how they have been wired!!! OK I'll explain.. 1) rear lights are same as the later 1098's (dual colour red/orange) 2) front orange add-ons flash as front signals until... 3) sidelights switc...

They are all over ebay for about £6 + P&P, just search for item number '7964764698' thats the 1 I have purchased. It cost me £7.75 inc. P&P. I'm going to fit mine between the POS (earth still ;) ) and the starter solenoid to isolate the whole car! No more flat batteries and nobody but me can...

I'm going to be fitting a battery isolator to Phoebe after I pick her up tomorrow... http://www.geocities.com/doris_minor/battsw.JPG This should save any similar battery problems, although I will leave it off for a few days to see if there are any charge problems. She has nothing that needs permanen...

Your firing order is 1 3 4 2, just move the lead for plug 1 to where the rotor arm is pointing and then is the 1 3 4 2 sequence round the cap. The rotor arm travels anti-clockwise if my memory serves me correctly. If, while still on TDC, you then set the dizzy so that points just spark and nip it up...

Didn't they used to make the 'Chair Master' vans out of fiesta couriers and the like? I shouldn't think it would be to hard to build from there design or at least close. Woo nice idea using a roll frame for seat belt ancourage, I was just trying to figure that out when I refreshed and you had mentio...

I'm used to lots of mirrors...



...so it makes my life interesting when I get into something with either tiny or no mirrors!

No Sam, they are attached to the bar the quarter-light locks against not the window itself.

CD?

I wonder if you can get that album on 8 track?

Lee

Hi Tom,

Is it actually the stub axle thats not letting it slide all the way on or is it hitting something else nearby?

Lee

Most excellently explained there Woo

Some thing like this Peewee (didn't you just know that was gonna stick )

If you go this way, you should be able to get the mixed paint put in a spray can.

Oooo Hark at Mr Morley, the man with many european contacts ;)

Austin Powers watch your back

Lee

You stock piling parts now then Ray? You'll have the trade counter open by the end of the month hopefully

just kiddin'

Glad it all went OK for you anyway Phil

Lee

Ah but will you point it out if he doesn't though Ray?

Send Blind Les my best to

Lee

Technically not legal I agree, but it certainly would be helpful to know if I need to do anything major ;)

See not just an ugly face

Lee

Thanks for the pic Mandy, here it is...



It looks sad

Lee

I see you've finally decided to drive one instead of just repairing them Well I thought it was about time :P I can live with a short MOT for the moment, underneath looks fairly good to but stuck now and can't get down till the weekend after next to pick it up. I'm tempted to put it straight in for ...

Hi Phil, when I took the one piece exhaust off Doris I found it fairly easy without damaging it. I jacked the back end up as high as it would go on the trolley jack at the centre of the axle and put axle stands under each rear X member near the jacking point, then let the troley jack down. This gave...
