I see you have a hose running from the breather at the front running thru the manifold pre heating passage....
Why ?
Normally you would have hot water running thru the manifold pre heat passage

My car does not have a heater and it's an after market manifold so I thought it would look neater running it the way I have back to the PCV valve. I then have a hose running from the rocker cover to the air filter.
Cheers Greg

I have a late MG Midget/Sprite gearbox in mine. I just unbolted the hydraulic slave cylinder and fitted the Minor rod all bolts on to the same place.

My clutch feels no different to the original . I am running the Midget gearbox behind a 1100cc Morris/Austin A series motor.

What you need is a linkage set up off a standard Minor 1000. Then fit it to your box and car.

Be warned guys, there is a lot of rumbling generally throughout the classic car fraternity at the moment about dobbing in guys who abuse the system by having their cars are on historic plates and those same cars are not 100% original.
If Scott reads this he might be able to tell us if there is any further talk about the "Modified Historic" plate scheme.
