Here is a translation of the danish manual to adapt a VW-Polo brake to a Morris Minor. It should be read in conjunction with the pictures and drawings posted on the following website: http://www.nmmk.dk (go to the link "Morris Minor Skivebremser" on the right side of the page): Fitting VW ...

Is anyone interested in an translation of the danish polo-disc-conversion. A friend of mine translated it to german for me, so if you are interested, I will give it a try and translate it to english?!

Hi there, thank you all for your suggestions. I´ve now replaced the following: Dizzy Cap, points, condenser, rotor arm, leads. Furthermore cleaned the carb from the inside, checked the manifold for leaks, set the ignition timing, filled up the dashpot and set the poits gap. Now the engine is running...

Yes, oil is topped up, but its 10W40 Engine oil. maybe this is too thin?? Will check later, if its possible to lift this "piston" in the carb mouth. I should be able to litft it with some resistance and it should come down with a sudden "clonk", right?

Thanks for the reply. Points-Gap has been checked with feeler gauge. Valve-clearance has been adjusted as well after head replacement. I suggest some carb problem and will check choke-cable today.

Idling is ok but its practically not driveable without revving really hard. I changed the ht leads, the condenser and the points. distributor cap is ok...

I have a 45d Lucas in my 1098er a-series. I´ve bought it this way but cannot tell if the former owner has modified it to make it fit. Works well, though.

Thank you very much for your answers. Last night I did a little more research in the internet and found some companies, which offer Hepolite pistons with the number 16179 (without the additional "V1"). They are sold to fit a 1098 Midget/Sprite with a cr of 8.9:1 So I suggest this will also...

Hi there, I´ve got a question concerning a piston set, that i´ve just bought. They are Hepolites, Number 16179/V1. The size is 2,542" and were sold to fit a Morris/Austin 1098. They look kind of strange, with 3 PistonRings at the top and one at the bottom end of the piston. Can anyone tell me, ...
