Re: Cracked carb float chamber lid
Well, after the input from you folks, and talking to the people at Burlen, I've decided to bite the bullet and order a complete new float chamber lid assembly and the overflow pipe, which they pointed out was missing. Probably better that way in the long run, rather than try to repair the cracks.

carb swap?
My 1958 moggie has a 948cc engine with an H-type carb. I have had to do a repair (see my post elsewhere) of the float chamber lid to seal a crack. I am now having trouble replacing the cap/seal that goes on the top of the lid and seals the retaining bolt (the gasket between lid and chamber is not a ...

Interior door pillar trim panels
The moggie we have bought is a 4-door and the trim panels that cover the door pillars between the doors have been taken out. They are still present, though, so no need to make new ones yet. The question is, how are they fitted? The panels themselves have 3 holes in them, and there are 3 correspondin...

Re: Front seats in a 4-door (1958)
Thanks for all the info folks. I've seen the rubber blocks for sale, not too pricey, so will give those a try. We also intend to replace the straps and foam to improve things, might do that now. One day will probably re-cover them too... one bit at a time!

Front seats in a 4-door (1958)
Hello there, I've just become a Moggie owner, and I'm still learning my way around it. A question about the front seats... is it usual to have tilting front seats in a 4-door, i.e. where they're not necessary? I find that the seats sit rather low at the back, so I'm having to lean forward to see pro...
