Re: Traveller Restoration
I was wondering how jagnut intended removing just the lens part from a sealed beam headlamp!

Re: smoothcase/ribbed gearbox
Indeed. I can only assume that your larger 1380cc engine's extra torque and your 5-speed gearbox may have some bearing on the driveability in traffic and clutch action...

Re: smoothcase/ribbed gearbox
Ah yes, but is this on a track-day/race car? I found that when I first fitted my Midget engine/clutch with the standard linkage, it had a rather sharp action, making driving in heavy traffic something of a chore. It also wore out the linkages quite rapidly, in fact, it left me stranded in London one...

Re: smoothcase/ribbed gearbox
The clutch fork unbolts, and you can swap in the standard Minor item. I wouldn't recommend using the standard linkage though; the Midget diaghragm clutch is very heavy to operate, and will give a snatchy on/off action, and wear out the linkage bushes quickly - far better to fit a hydraulic actuation...

Re: This seller needs help sorting out a problem!
It would appear to be another post-1962 car, with the later heater, wipers, front indicators, etc. Probably quite an early 'transition' car though, as the dashboard switches are the earlier pull type. I've never seen a Minor's handbrake lever go that high before! :o Also, the rear valence appears to...

Re: This seller needs help sorting out a problem!
I note the offside boot door check strap has an extra reinforcing bracket added to the door - quite a good idea, as they seem to frequently work loose.

Re: This seller needs help sorting out a problem!
Interestingly, if you zoom in on the first pic, the back window is clearly etched with a suffixed (F-reg?) number-plate that doesn't match the car's!

Re: This seller needs help sorting out a problem!
Comes up on DVLA as a 1959, yet clearly has post 1962 features such as the 1098cc engine, heater, wipers, front indicators, etc.
Strange also, that it appears to be in overall good condition apart from the front roof!

If you need more advice regarding your front suspension, you could ask this guy who appears to have the same setup:

Re: Trunnion Replacement
It does indeed seem a bit at odds to have 'race-spec' suspension and Goodridge braided brake hoses, yet still retain the stock drum brakes!
I guess the previous owner cared more about speed and handling than they did about being able to stop quickly...

Heya guys, I attempted the trunnion change tonight but I was thwarted!! I got the drums off unscrewed the backplate, but I could not get the grease dust cap off from the center of the wheel. The backplate is stopping me from spinning the trunnion and I can't move it till the cap is off. I tried usi...
