Vintage Minor Register

With the clutch depressed and any gear engaged there is nothing moving in the gearbox. Unless the car is moving!

My throttle pedal is on the right, and having also driven centre pedalled Minors I find that the right pedalled option is more comfortable. (And easier on the brain)

So close to starting, better luck tomorrow.

I use 90 in the gearbox and 140 in the axle, I found that 140 in the gearbox can be a bit sticky when cold.

It s...

I believe Simon was referring to torsional shocks and not end loading, hence the mention of lack of springs in the clutch plate. That assumes that the flexible couplings absorb some torsional shocks.

And how, the car was undrivable.
Have now tried the car on a set of Lodge CB3 plugs (The equivalent of ML50)and it is perfect, it would appear that they are not the same!
