Vintage Minor Register

Does anyone know the length of the front & rear brake cables on the early Minor with the front cable going around the bottom of the king pin Ewan

Hi Bruce, If you want to use your best chassis i would do as Ian suggests and swap the dumb iron with the chassis # over. I have just drilled out the spring hangers and pressed in some bronze bushes i got from cbc bearings @ $6.00 each. Next i nead to cut out a couple of rusty areas and weld in some...

Thanks Bruce for the kind offer of parts, at present i have the chassis ready to weld back together.Once that is done i'll rebush the spring hangers but at this stage one step at a time Regards Ewan

yes what ever you did Ian it appears to have worked. I was banned Mon Tues and Wed.
Today no problem. Good work Ewan

Hi Ian, I assume the oil pump gears have been renewed. The end float between the gears & the end plate seems to be critical, no more than 0.002 thou. When i started my Minor for the first time it lost pressure after 10 seconds , it took me 2 days to finally figure the pump endfloat. Good luck Ew...
