Hi everyone I am in the process of assembling my front suspension, it is totally in bits, my question is with the front lower arm laying flat on the floor what is a rough measurement for the rear arm from floor to hole in end of cross member arm? Just want a rough estimate to get it somewhere near t...

Hi everyone
I am about to change the clutch pedal on my 2 door right hand drive, with the tunnel removed, does the gearbox get in the way of removing it? I really don’t want to have to remove the gearbox for this job if not needed
Thanks
Andy

If it’s the right gearbox I have it runs smooth so would like todo a minimum rebuild, would it be a full strip down job ?

Brilliant thanks for the quick reply, would I find that on the gearbox casing to identify it?

Hi everyone Just out of interest can a 1098 standard minor gearbox be converted to straight cut gears? Like a 1275 midget can be. I’ve read somewhere about it can be done if it has b type gears, how do I identify this? And is it a straight forward swap over job that doesn’t require gearbox machining...

Hi everyone I have bought myself a hydraulic clutch operating kit that bolts to the side of my 1098 gearbox also a roller bearing clutch release bearing to get rid of the carbon one. Having experienced cheap copy of a well known clutch brand, and that failing in less that 700 miles, I’m looking to p...

Brilliant thanks
Do you know roughly how much I’d need to order from brake master along chassis leg upto bulkhead?

Hi everyone
I have installed a brake reservoir kit with front discs last January, I have noticed the clear rubber pipe supplied upto the reservoir is sweating brake fluid through it, is this normal? Or is there a alternative to stop this
Thanks
Andy

Thank you for the reply
I am located in Warwickshire, pm me if your interested

Hi everyone
I have a marina 1275 a plus engine, all complete with flywheel, back plates manifold. It is in stripped down Staite all labels up ready for reconditioning, what would the value of this engine be if I was to sell it?
Also what do people value 1275 Mg midget gearbox at?
Thanks
Andy

I shall check them again, but seemed good last time I checked, replaced the rubbers at the same time. What are people’s opinions on the New leaf springs? There not old at all, they don’t have rubber in the clamps around the leafs, so was wondering if that possible noise

Hi everyone I have a knocking cracking noise From the rear, sounds just behind the passenger door (2door), I have had new front spring hangers welded in, it has telescopic shock absorbers, interior is removed so not from inside, I can’t visually see anything catching and have had it on a lift many t...

Brilliant is there much to gain with the 1275 box and 3.9 diff over 1098 gearbox and 4.2 diff

I have checked the input shaft it does have those numbers and letters stamped and also reverse light switch, it is definitely a 1275, trying to find out if it’s a straight swap over job with everything else that is 1098

Hi there
I have a 1275 mg gearbox, looks the same as a 1098, will the 1275 box bolt straight to the 1098 engine using 1098 clutch, flywheel release bearing fork and engine back plate and gear-lever? I’ll be fitting a 3.9 diff aswell

Hi everyone I have a 1967 2 door saloon, having noticed heavy wear on the out edge of rear tyre, I have inspected to find and poorly repaired front spring hanger, welded at a dodgy angle, I have bought repair panels for both side, my question is where can I find the dimensions from so that it’s weld...

Thanks a great help thanks the rear lights I have are chrome base

Thanks for reply unfortunately I don’t have the original wings anymore so have no reference points

Hi everyone I’m doing a full restoration on my 1957 2 door having spent so much time fitting new heritage wings I have discovered the holes in all 4 wings are to big and wrong for the small front side lights and small rear (red lense) lights. They must be late wings for bigger lights, what’s the eas...

I haven’t put coolant pipes to the inlet, just trying to get it so when on choke I can pull away with confidence without it bogging down, every other minor I have driven although standard I’ve been able to drive off no problem on choke push it in as it warms up job done
