No I have rotated the image and stored in portrait and landscape but the forum only displays it in landscape . It's an old voltmeter in a wooden case, which hinges open so you can see the workings . Have you tried the Tapley meter in your car, they were the standard brake test tool before brake roll...

Don't know why site rotates picture

Thanks Kevin, ordered Milliput in black, not bothered about lettering

The knob was never available at a seperate part and is firmly fixed in production - unlike the wiper and light switches. If you want complete originality you'll have to do some digging and ring/email round the specialists and buy good secondhand items. Easy enough to replace the whole cable :wink: ...

Found the complete starter pull with cable on ESM website , cheaper new than ebay used :D but can't find just the nob, need to look if grub screws hold them on like the other switches, thought someone will know :tu1: Or maybe just fill the holes in ends, just thought if easy to swap just for cosmeti...

The end of my choke cable and start pull have broken ends where the letters would be, are replacement ends available with S and C. and how are they to held on.

Is it just the angle of the picture or is only one side of the coil connected?

Well done to all those involved, thanks for your hard work

Bought replica Smiths guages from fleabay look really nice BUT the fitting on the oil guage is not like smiths so the pipe doesn't fit. It has an npt thread for a convex fitting not bspt and flat fitting as per smiths. Needs a converting adaptor :cry: As they say you get what you pay for :roll: Genu...

Same as mine Phil except my capillary had a male thread that went straight into the head without an adaptor. Calitrav could you put a thread guage in the drilling to get the tpi as you already know the diameter to get an appropriate adaptor.. Something like https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BSW-Whitworth-M...

Inside of my adapter is about 14.25 not included thread depth so that must of been size of hole in head as gauge bulb screwed straight in, the OD of the adaptor supplied but not needed is 21mm to outer of threads way too big.. Do you think someone has put a threadsert in after damaging it, the solid...

I fitted one yesterday to 1098 engine (smiths replica) capillary, it came with adaptor bellow but bulb with sleeve nut screwed straight in,without adaptor, it felt a little loose in threads but once pinched against flange on bulb tightened ok with no leaks.

Very good. If the same processes were undertaken in the UK the health and safety guys would have a field day :roll: They were in 60s and early 70s no body bothered too much, hence knackered hip, knees and back. Lifted many of those truck cylinder heads without help :roll: Used to stand along side t...

Thanks for the info Phil, I'll look underneath when the part arrives

Even made their own valve seats, excellent like being back in 1970's recognise lots of the equipment.

So is the plate part of the pedal, it's not shown on the illustration I have?

Only the clutch pedal has a draft seal other than that the felt/carpet is the draft excluder for the brake pedal. https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/pad-pedal-sealing-aaa1938.html?assoc=136260 The above seal could be adapted and fitted to the brake pedal or the underside of the gearbox cover where the b...

Question, do minor 1000 have any form of grommet/ sealing where the pedals pass through the floor opening or just the carpet to prevent drafts?

Does anyone know what the recon codes mean, I believe, rebore, crank grind etc on silver and gold recon units, I have 8G1 62 so 8G is recon what does the 1 62 signify?
I have the bill for its fitting dated 1998
