Hopefully these hoses will be the same length as the original one's that were supplied with the kit that i got from Owen Burton all those years ago, in which case they will be fine as i have done many miles with them! Was just in need of replacements as i managed to shear a pipe off in one of them! ...

Order has been placed! Thanks again.

Many thanks! I was hoping someone out there would know!

Can anyone help me? I have a Marina disc brake set up on my pick up and am in need of new flexible brake hoses. I used the Owen Burton kit when i fitted them and have no idea where to get replacement hoses from to suit! Anyone know where they can be purchased or if the kit used a standard hose from ...

I am pretty confident that the gearbox has never left the car. Even if the gearbox had been removed for any reason then i am sure the crossmember would not have been repainted or replaced in anycase. Of all the gearbox crossmembers that i have ever seen for the MM's they have always been black even ...

I have never seen a gearbox crossmember in any colour other than black on any of my MM's. I have a 1949 example that has only covered 26000 miles from new and has not been restored and the body is platinum grey but the gearbox crossmember is black. The car still has its original engine and gearbox f...

No problem! I will find out the make of the units i fitted to my sisters Minor next time i see her as the lens has the same curve (from the side) and a similar pattern to the lucas sealed beam units. I don't think i have any spare units with the same lens though! Sorry.

Steve, The units you have will not take a standard halogen bulb and i am not aware of any bulbs that have been manufactured to fit. There are some makes of halogen headlamps that do have the same curved profile as the sealed beam / standard Minor units. I would personally go for the halogen units as...

Check out ebay item 4612765710.

Autoglym super resin gets my vote! Works well for me and i have never experienced any problems with it.

Great photographic history. Looks a major project that is shaping up well! Keep up the hard work.

Maybe i am just greedy! As long as we save as many as possible then thats all that matters! I currently have 2 lowlight saloons and a lowlight tourer. The tourer and 1 saloon are road legal and the other saloon is still waiting VERY patiently for its turn (been in dry storage with me since 1988!)

I am lucky enough to own several MM's as well as some later models. I know this page is dedicated to the MM's, but i guess all are welcome wherever! Great site. Don't know why i didn't start using it earlier!

Thanks for all your replies! It was just looking like the MM page was getting a bit forgotten in 2006! Its good to know that fellow MM owners do keep a watchful eye on it though.

Hi and a Happy New Year to you all! I see i am the first to post this year on the MM page! Is there anyone else out there?

Shouldn't be a problem! I have never had any problems when changing to negative earth, but if anyone else has then feel free to challenge that!

SR, I have PM'ed you!

Dry stored then, thats good! Had a look at your pictures of your lowlight and it looks pretty good for its age. As for pictures, i have been reading elsewhere on here about how to load them up on this site and for a computer illiterate like me it sounds like hard work! I only have pictures of the to...

Had loads and still got some! At present we have 3 lowlights (2 saloons and one tourer) 1 highlight mm 2 door saloon and an early grille 4 door saloon. I have recently sold my early grille van but it did need a lot of work! 2 of the lowlights are roadworthy (taxed and MOT'ed) as is the early series ...

Lowlights? I take it you have more than one then! Excuse my lack of knowledge about your cars but i have only just started looking on this site the last couple of days even though i have been registered a while!
