Shows how closely I looked it The original looks very nice indeed - just as I would expect

Without wishing to decry your friend's efforts, is it just me to ask: why? Did the AI add the paint or the paper, and what is it meant to be on the rear door? Just curious.

Welcome. Well done, sounds like a good project. Any chance of some photos? Would you fancy writing an article for Minor Matters?

No, that's just American roads

I agree that it should be OK regardless with light usage. Alternatively, you can always use an additive approved by the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs - avoid any that are not approved. Using an additive will not cause a problem if the engine has been converted, and wiull be a benefit ...

Have a look at viewtopic.php?t=49906&hilit=average+misfire

The inside of the lid as pictured would normally have a solid insert that finished flush with the edge, and there would be a chrome strip round the outside. As noted, the round feature is ot standard.

But at least they fit in parking bays. It's just what you get used to. Having driven mainly Minors, I sat in an Austin 7 and couldn't believe how tiny that was. Sitting in a modern, it was a ridiculous stretch to reach over to the passenger seat (how on earth do people go courting these days?) or re...

Look in the engine bay, on the bulkhead between where the bonnet release rod and the throttle cable come through. You should find some numbers stamped into the bulkhead - you may need to move the wiring harness and clean the area. Do the numbers match those stamped on the chassis plate? If yes, then...

This is nothing new, just an illustration of where the world has gone... I needed an additional 1/2 AF combination spanner. My normal supplier was out of stock, delivery 10 days for a respected manufacturer. I ordered, but as needed urgently, also ordered from a well known online store with next day...

The site has not changed. It is best practice to always logout when you have finished working, and log in when you next visit. Some browsers/devices will automatically log you out when you close the window. If you log in but then do nothing for a period of three hours, then you will be logged out an...

Not a perfect test, but does give an indication of where to look. Jack up one front wheel and support appropriately. Spin the wheel fast by hand. It should carry on spinning freely. Press brake pedal. Does wheel stop sharply? Yes = at least one of those cylinders is OK, no = both cylinders seized. R...

£25 for the whole weekend. Cheaper if you had booked in advance

Yes, you should have received a receipt of your entry and your details will therefore be "on the list". Your rally pass, programme, and any tickets that you booked will all be waiting for you on the gate - this saves a fortune in postage costs. When you arrive, the check-in team will check...

Excellent work. As well as star washers, Loctite can be used to secure the screw. Although a completely different mechanism, I added star washers to secure the locks on the rear doors of the Travellers.

What work do you need doing? Are you meaning replace bearings and seals, recondition the differential, weld mounting brackets, repair a cracked casing, fit sleeves on which the seals can run, paint it? Refurbishment can mean different things to different people, so if you could explain what is wrong...

Has the car had any restoration work? I have seen his problem where either the panel(s) around the opening or the the lid itself have been repaired, and the correct alignment has not been achieved. If the angles are not correct, then the lock will not properly engage. Also, if the lock is worn, then...

To answer your question: Yes, there is a unique part number for each hinge assembly. The original factory part numbers are used by some suppliers whilst others have their own part numbers. Hinges may differ depending on model and year of vehicle, top, bottom, left, right, front, rear. If you need a ...
