After years of driving around with no seatbelts I think its time to stop pushing my luck. It all seams pretty strai...

Marina/Ital Pedal Box

I have been given a pedal box from either a Marina or Ital complete with servo, master cylinder and clutch cylinder in a professionally fabricated bulkhead extension. It was fitted to a friends' mog but he wants to go back to original spec so we cut it out and welded the bulkhead back as standard. A...

Hi James, You are absolutly right with regards to the availability of parts for twin cam engines, especially with Fiats policy of deleting parts only ten years after end of production (talk about having faith in your product!) so I do intend to be sure.

I had this problem just a few weeks ago, turned out the three bolts that hold the the round slotted cover (that the gearstick moves in) had come loose. I used new spring washers then tightened them back up and so far nothing but peace and quiet.
...well, you know, except for the usual moggie din.

The engine itself is identical to the Fiat, once its installed the only ...

Thanks John, the thing that motivated me to push on with a twin cam setup was the realisation that good engines were getting thin on the ground and that if I wanted to realise my longterm dream I had best wake up and get on with it! Based on your comments I will go and buy that engine tomorrow, it w...

Calling all Twin-cammers - urgent advice needed!

I am about to start the rebuild of a pickup and I have decided to take the plunge and go for a full-on twin cam setup, building the mods in from the bare chassis up. Up until now I have run a standard mog with just an alternator upgrade so this degree of modification is new ground for me. Anyway, I ...
