After 6 years of cutting, welding & getting filthy I have just re-sprayed my 56 series II 2 door minor & I am now at the stage where I would like to re-fit the windows, but I also need to replace the headlining. Funds don't permit buying the headlining at the moment as I have just ordered ne...

New unballasted coil & points has sorted it.

Merry Christmas & thanks for the advise.

Can anyone help me, I have just fitted a 1275 A plus engine into a series II, the problem I have is a tapping in the right hand side of the block which is open. I think it goes to the water jacket but can't be sure. Has anyone got a manual I could have a look at so I can identify what should go into...
