Hi Pete
Yes, bending over the seam creates an area where mud can collect. However, it isn't bent over so it is flush against the inner guard, creating an inaccessible gap. It is more of a curl, s ... |

Very good work Pete.
I did the same jobs on a Minor a few years ago. Very time consuming to do it properly but satisfying when done. BTW I note that your inner guard/flitch panel fl ... |

The dimension is not critical and will depend on how much pressure you prefer on the clutch pedal. The longer the arm (within limits) the lighter the pressure.
You could have a longer arm with sev ... |

Hi again John
You are correct -- the required extension of the relay arm is in the region of 2.5cm not 2.5mm. Sorry, it was a typo. BTW, in the information I have seen, it is only one arm, the on ... |

Its not just the capacity difference or cost of reconditioning. The 948 is a much better engine all round. I know that this might seem surprising given that it appears to ... |

Unless I am very much mistaken, larger rolling radius tyres will make the speedo read lower, not higher than actual speed. |

I confess that I was assuming you had the big central speedo in my earlier posts.
I assume that a 55 model would have the one in front of the steering wheel. If that is the case, I doubt you will ... |

The 1000 figure is the one that tells you the TPM.
It is way too low for a 4.55 diff, which explains why it reads way too high. You need one that is calibrated to around 1400 to 1500 TPM. I wil ... |
