Sorry, Andy. The Tyres I have aren't Yokohama. They are available from Bob Jane, but I don't know the price. The Kmart tyres are called Sonar (made in Taiwan)....

Treaka, I am not sure about point a) as I have fitted Bridgestone B700 155/70/R13 and these surprisingly enough are from Bridgestone Tyre Dealers. You would ...
Hmmm... looks rebuilt from the outside....no engine number .. aluminium plate dissolved in dip... I've dropped the sump.. lock nuts and not locktabs on...
G'day Can anyone recommend somewhere in Brisbane where I could get a 1275 crank/flywheel/damper assembly dynamically balanced? Also I noticed that conrods...
Hi Andy, Can't help with balancing, but MG City in Brisbane should be able to give advice. Engine number has an indication of compression. 12CC( or CG for...

Andy, if thew motor has been rebuilt, chances are the compression ratio is different. Sorry to disappoint you but a compression test won't tell you the...
G'day Bruce, Yeah...I did say "assume" 1 atm , whereas you will know from delving into the world of forced induction that a naturally aspirated engine does not...
Andy, wrong Bruce - having looked at his pics, I only wish I could do work that neat. To answer your question, put yourself in the shoes of BMC which would be ...
Talk to David at Chilton Engineering in Deshon Street at Woolloongabba. He has done some of my 950 with a supercharger, I did pistons, rods etc myself with a...

Ah yes, except that today's Hepolite pistons have exactly the same dish for both low and high compression pistons. The difference is actually the deck height,...
Andy You could also ask Ken Nelson at Mini Automotive in Ipswich. He has been building A series race engines for years and there are a number of balancing...
I think I need to buy a 1275 clutch pressure plate first, so it too can be balanced as part of the assembly.. having last night had a good look at Colin's page...
G'day Guys, Do any of you know whether there is such a thing as a 'service kit' for my front shocks, the lever arm style. All I ever seem to get is, 'We'll...
Bad news Allan, there is no service kit. Apart from the seals, there isn't much else to service except to replace worn pistons and splines as necessary....
Allan, There is a book available called MG "Midget & Austin Healey Sprite Service Guide and Owner's Manual" by Lindsay Porter and Peter Wallace, Porter...

G'day Guys and Girls, I'm not sure what the masses think of the electronic distributor conversions going around, but i have fitted more than 15 of these units...
I tried fitting a Nissan Pulsar electronic dissy to my Mk2 but there is no way it will clear the steering column! You would have to engineer a 90 degree bend...
Just confirming what David has posted. I have a Pulsar dissy fitted to my Grp Nb Cooper 'S' and it works a treat - Probably no more power than a well set up...
G'day all What Steve says about "no more power" is totally correct. The distributor's job is to fire the spark plugs. The plugs burn the fuel and that what...
Hi guys, What is the recommendation for a new Radiator? I was thinking of a new Aluminum one as it would used for a Road/Track Car. The current one is beyond...
G'day Wazza Which part of your radiator do you think is beyond repair: the tanks, side supports or the core? Except perhaps for the core, which can be...
Mmm! Interesting comment. My understanding is that Group Nb vehicles are permitted to modify "breaker type" distributors to "breakerless" operation by...
Yes, I think 'interpretation' is the key word David. The main concern seems to be that it looks like a distributor, it has no external module, only a pair of...
Steve, I remember the Tech. Comm. for Group N, a year or two ago at a National Race Meeting at Eastern Creek, checking a whole bunch of Group Nc cars to ensure...
suzuki swift GT radiator fits straight in, minor mod of top hose needed, will keep a race car cool no worries....

I am lucky enough to be building a new garage for my AHS Mk3 restoration project (general garage really but the 2001 Camry can live in the street as it has...
