I’m converting a 1959 saloon to a tourer with an old kit. But when I mounted the bracket for the hood frame the frame stick out why to long. The instructions say that the center of bracket shall be 43.8cm from the window frame. Can any one take there own measurement where it shall be located? 97D812...

Thank You very much. Should it be a template on the top also? Like in the Video?(see picture)

Hi, I'm in the process of converting a 1959 saloon to Tourer. I bought a kit that from one that had changed his mind about doing the conversion. It was fully complete except for the template the windscreen surround. Does any one have such a template and can take pictures of with some measurements? B...

On my minor I use brakecalipers(ATE) (rabbit) MK1 they are identical to the Polo ones. The Discs are diffrent but they where used by a Audi model also. Brembo Partnr 08.2878.10 I've used this setup for 2 years now and it works very good. I also added a brakeservo which is only connected to the front...

The cracks..<br><br>

Ok... Here is some pictures.
There weren't to much rust inside, it looks worse on the pictures the it actually worse the it is.
I will repair it istead of replacing it.

I was replacing bushings in the front suspension.
When I tried to remove the eyebolt it came out with the tube.
It doesnt seem to be to be rust, it was more of crack around it.
What is the best way to repair it? It seem a bit much to replace the complete chassisleg.

Hi,
I notice that the right side semaphore was a bit slow getting upp.
So I tried to oil but then some smoke came out...
When I touched the electromagnet it was really hot.
What resitance should it have?
The semaphore is marked 4 62 54062A and S(?)F80

Hi,
I bought new main bearings from ESM but they where abit different then the ones on the engine (or 3 of them).
There where 3 bearing that looked just like the ones on the engine but 3 of them where flat and didn't had the hole for the oil.
Which should be at bottom and which on top?

I have a similiar question: Is it possible to fit a 4.22 crownwheel & pinion in 4.55 diff? This is since I live in Sweden and it would be to heavy to send a complete diff unit. The car has already been converted to 1098cc engine and gearbox. does the Austin A40 with the 1098cc used the same diff...

Hi, Yesterday I had sometime to work abit more with the clutch. I hope I found the problem(s). I bought a new "clutch adjustment rod" the new one was threaded 10mm more than the old one. I also bought new bushings for the clutch linkage. (good thing that I live 10 minutes away from the onl...

Hi, I bought the clutchcover from ESM. The Engine and gearbox is in the car I took the pictures before I discovered the problem.... I have one idea.. Before I changed engine the setup was 948cc engine, 1098cc gearbox modified with 948cc parts. Maybe the clutch adjust rod has been modified. How long ...

Hi, I took some pictures with my phone before putting them togather, Maybe you can spot what part that is the mismatch? I think that Ive used only 1098cc parts. the Clutch cover is new (came with the clutch kit) It was leaking from the "bottom" because it was not so well made, I know they ...

Hi, I'm putting in 1098cc engine in my Minor. It had already a ribbedcase gearbox fitted by a previous owner. When I took the old engine out I discovered that the gearbosx had been converted from RHD to LHD with parts (front cover and clutch fork) from a smooth gearbox. The parts was modified and wa...

Hi,
I recently bought a 1098cc engine for my minor.
The clutch was worn so I need a new one.
My question is should I buy a complete clutchkit or just the friction plate?
Where do you buy a clutch/clutchkit to the best price?
