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 ...

Great, I'm looking forward to hearing how you go.

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 ...

Hi John

The heavy Sprite clutch is a problem many have encountered. There is a standard fix for this that reduces the effort and gives better sensitivity for the take-up point. The arm on the rel ...

Hi again GraGra

The 0.5 watt ones will be fine. That just means that they can handle twice as much power. They will be slightly bigger than 0.25 watt ones, but this will be of no significance in ...

Sorry you are having trouble with your tacho.

Can you get hold of a 10k resistor to try? They only cost a few cents.

I can post you one if you can't easily source one.

Here is my understanding:

1000s have two different specification wheel boxes, so the angle specification of the gear wheel will depend on which boxes you have. I believe that there are ...

I'm with John on this one.
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 ...

In that case it is almost certainly from an Oxford. Wouldn't your car be a '56 if it had an 803cc and a central speedo?

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 ...
