Vintage Minor Register

Just looked on the AA website, it's an International Driving Permit you need, evidently recognised in conjunction with your current (USA?) licence.

Surely it's the front brakes that work the hardest Ian, weight transfer under braking etc That's the reason that moderns have limiting valves fitted to the rears to prevent locking.

Do "International" licences not still exist?

Ian,
All the fuel taps I've seen have been 1/4" BSP threads, fortunately for me a very kind chap has volunteered to turn me up an adaptor on his lathe.

I have good reports of Vintage Carriages, www.vintagecarriages.net from people who have had work carried out by them. Normal disclaimers.

Many thanks Ian, hope they are of some help to Jeroen.

Toby, Decided to licence my minor even though it was in no way roadworthy, a) to see if it could be done and b) so I could test it up and down the lane during restoration. As it had been off the road for 10+ years it was registered in the tax class "Not Licensed" so the local Post Office d...

Now have jig Mk 5 and it seems to work. Brake repairs now under way, as I am attempting to make TF 4293 roadworthy for this centenary season I will continue on an Our Cars posting.

Ian, Original tap soldered up, presumably because of leaks, new tap beside it 1/4" BSP both ends, you can see the difference in size and also pitch of threads. I am now trying to find a 7/8" UNEF bolt that I can drill out and tap 1/4" BSP to make an adaptor, failing that I will have t...

Eastbourne on the south coast), or can be met conveniently on the way. I am also not ave...
