Hi Rob, I am in Cyprus at the moment and don't have access to my files, what model and year is your car ? If you have an early car with the cork seal type piston reserve switch that screws to the top of the petrol tank then this is generally a problem area, the cork pistons can shrink to allow air t...

Hi Joel, Remove the four large rear support securing bolts and the retaining strap, then lift the gearbox with a jack, the support should come out easily backwards.

Hi Mike, I have converted a number of the standard fin type for the addition of a Viking mascot.

I will be away for the summer but still able to pick up emails. My Snowdrop is n...

Sorry Chris. I was looking for the ' 38 jack myself also, but have since sold the Coupe so no longer required. When I bought the '38 car from Neal Powell he told me that the car came with a jack that he had bought from Meteor Spares, but it was not the correct jack ( in fact it was a morris one ) so...

I have found and bought an original Lake & Elliot CO1377 green bottle screw lifting jack for the '35 10hp off ebay. The seller did not know what he had as it came with a job lot of Morris Traveller parts. After 30 years of looking I finally found one...and a good price too. I have since sold the ' 3...

I turn down brass slotted set screws ( 2BA ) to form a flat headed rivet and paint black.
