Re: to garage or not
Maybe the cheapest way of (partly) protecting a saloon is do as I do with mine,I bought a tailored car cover for my 4 door saloon,it seems to have kept the car as no worse off as being in a garage,although it wasn't cheap at £160.Thoroughly recommended though,you'll find them advertised in minor mat...

Broken starter cable
Happy bank holiday all,
I have a 1961 4 door and the starter pull has a cable on it which has snapped.It looks like the broken cable can be removed and a new one crimped in,but before I do damage can anyone verify this?Many thanks

Re: Seems a bit odd
Thanks Liam,a common upgrade then.I had another 948 with an original heater in it and it was pretty woeful,I suppose it's not a major job for a minor specialist.When I lifted the bonnet at a recent event it got accused of being a fake car,i.e a 1098 car with the 1961 interior,engine and identity,but...

Seems a bit odd
Just been through the resto photo's and bills for my minor and there's actually a bill for cutting a hole in the bulkhead (my car is a 1961 948) and a before and after shot just so there can be a fresh air pipe going to the heater,as seen on all 1098 minors,is it just me or is this a bit of an odd j...

Its much appreciated!
Its much appreciated!
Re: SEATS
There was a slight clearance,not much but there's no reason why any of the conversion will catch on anything
Re: SEATS
Mine is a 4 door,but like I say it hasn't got seatbelts fitted and the KA seat rails run very close to the gearbox tunnel,so that is something to watch out for.
Re: SEATS
I'm afraid I havent sorry,I took them out straight away as it came with the original seats recovered using Newton Commercial stuff!
Re: SEATS
Mine hasn't got any seatbelts though so I don't know how seatbelts would affect the conversion.
Re: SEATS
I've just bought a 4 door that had KA seats in and i've put the originals back in.It was a very simple looking conversion with just a couple of bolts securing the front down and the rear supported with chocks to get a good driving position.All it was was 2 holes drilled in the chassis and a bolt goi...
