Oil leak, oil pump cover

I thought while the box is out I'll whip off the flywheel and check out the scroll seal, while there I spotted the oi...

Re: Odd vibration
Its not a vibration noise its a vibration coming through the car like a prop vibration but as soon as you change into 4th its gone. Nothing in 1st or second either however hard you push it. Spec is a Midget 1275 mated to original gearbox running to a 3.7 diff. I've resigned myself to pulling the box...

Re: 1275 breather issues
Now thinking about this, the engine came without a rocker cover and I have fitted an alloy one there is a very small hole in the centre of the chrome cap about 2 mm, a standard midget cap wouldn't fit it.

1275 breather issues
Has anyone got any real world advice on slowing down the oil drip from the back of a 1275 Midget engine fitted with hif44. The engine isn't in its first flush of youth but didn't lose anywhere near as much oil when it was fitted in the Midget it was pulled it from. The breather sysem at the moment c...

Another Marina brake conversion question
Has anyone ever tried fitting the Marina caliper brackets the other way around so the calipers are mounted to the front with the standard Minor hoses fitted directly to the caliper ?
