Hi, just fitted an ammeter (30amp) with an alternator . Its slows a very very small positive charge The battery condition shows 14V when running) . However if I switch the lights on the ameter hardly moves. I was expecting a large discharge. Could I have wired it in wrong?

Thanks

How can I tell if the head is actually unleaded? My thought was that the red head was unleaded but it has a bypass pipe. can that be the case?

How do I post photos, I will take some tomorrow.

Hi, I have two 1275 heads. Head 0ne - advertised as a 1300 - casting number 12g940 in the normal place, under the rocker shaft is 10 D 4 - it has a heater valve and aperture - what looks like a proper plug with a std Screwdriver head in the hole where the bypass should be. - The thermostat housing l...

Has any one tried these small Amplifiers with an FM radio and auxillary input? I want to tuck it away in my midget.

Thanks

Hi,

Does anyone know where you can get slo blo glass fuses like the ones that used to fitted to BL cars? Thanks

Hi, I got the piston out and it looked OK and was in good condition so is it possible that the pressure would not drop at tick over and remain at 50 or 60 psi?

Hi, My midget engine has been running with a 65/70 PSI pressure even on tick over, it does go up a bit when increasing speed so I am sure the gauge is ok . I thought it was the oil cooler keeping oil to cold so I removed the item to give better access in the bay (too many hoses and all in the way) a...

Hi, thanks. Looks like I may have saved a few pennies!! Do you think if a light source was added into the cavity as well things would be better?

thanks

Hi,

Has anyone used one of the cavity inspection tools like the draper or snake vision. Are they worth investing in? Any reccomendations? thanks chris

hi, I have two questions. 1/ can you use an exhaust like that of an mg midget that goes under the axle as opposed to over the axle. 2/ I have a mg midget rear box and intermediate pipe that was attached to an lcb manifold. Who makes an lcb for a minor? I assume the midget lcb cant be made to fit. th...

Hi,

Sorry posted this in the wrong section first time.

Is it straightforward to add a 1275 midget engine to a 1098 gearbox?

hi. follow on to the last post. can i use the std exhaust with a 1275 engine and hif 44 carb? I am not worried if I koose a bit of performance and would prefer a standard exhaust look.

thanks

I know people may not like to nominate suppliers so all I am looking for is a candid view on panel fit. I see Hadrian panels, ESM and Charles Ware all supply panels. I need sill repair panels and maybe a spring hanger. What is the view on best fit? I know Charles Ware and ESM are very helpful . many...

Hi, What is the concencus on fitting replacement front or rear sill repair panels and the front spring hangers. looking at charles ware site it looks like these are fitted on top of the floor rather than cut out and butt welded. I assume once completed and drenched in waxoyl or similar the overlap s...

Hi, thanks for that but was thinking of axle and wheels off. Idea was to have the body on the roof to work on. Has anyone done this ? thanks chris

hi,

Is it possible to lift a 3 door body shell with engine gear box diff and wings removed. how many prople would it take?

I need to weld the bottom and had in mind removing the parts and laying the body on its roof or side in the garage.

Has anyone done this ? Thanks Chris

Hi, Can you fit a mg midget front roll bar and is there any value ? thanks chris

Hi, I am running a 1275 midget in std tune, 3 branch exhaust and hif carb. It has an oil cooler with no thermo stat. My question is ! As the pipes fill up the engine bay and generally get in the way is there any point in keeping it ? The last owner fiited it but I only use the car upto about 2000 mi...
