Hi
Did you fit static or inertia belts?

Thanks very much for the measurements, I shall have a go!!!

Having searched high and low for nearly 24 months for original BMC upper seatbelt mounting brackets for my MM convertible, I made some myself and am quite pleased with the results. I had seatbelts fitted soon after acquiring the car, but the mechanic that fitted them, put the upper mounting bolt in...

Bows anyone know of a source for shock absorbers for the early MM with 3 bolt fixing please
John

One other thing I thought of is packing under the adjuster, has anyone tried that?
Thanks John

Thanks for the advice, I wondered if it might be shoe size or the drums had been skimmed! I’ll try a bit of weld & see how it goes!!! John

Thanks for the reply, further info: Complete rebuild completed last year, brakes have been fine, good/full pedal, 2 weeks ago partway through a run pedal travel suddenly increased dramatically, once home I checked adjustment & found the rear O/S adjustment to be fully off (lowest point on cam) &...

My 1949 MM, has recently been having brake issues, pedal is very long, adjustment on the rear is at its maximum, albeit that the brake shoes are new, any ideas please?

Thanks very much for the info

Could anyone help please, I have a new parcel shelf (as part of Newton kit) my car did not have one fitted! I have seen several posts on the subject but I’m after a bit more information, there is just one cutaway for the throttle I think? Do you have to cut a slot for the column or does it fit above...

Thanks Phil, I’ll give it a try!!
Regards John

Does anyone out there have a sacking/sailmakers needle, they are about 7” long with a curved end?
I’m rebuilding a pair of MM seats & the cushion covers are sown on!!
All the best John

Thanks for the info Phil, we would prefer metal if possible!

Does anyone know if there are any MM lowlight front wings available please?

I’ve found details for fitting an outer seal, it’s in the workshop manual!!! Body section R.17
To simple!!
Thanks for the comments, John

Hi George
Thanks fo all the info! However the waist seal I was referring to is the glass seal, the is an inside seal but no outside seal or provision for one,

Kind regards
John

Hi George
Thanks very much for that would be helpful, our doors are the early ones, any info would be helpful
Regards John

Has anyone fitted an outer waist seal on a 2door MM? If so would you share how you made a flange to attach the seal to the door panel as there is no flange to speak of on our doors?
John

Thanks again I’ll check tomorrow!!
