  1. oh yea note the trumpet intake my airbox fell off somewhere and was never found i robbed some rubber pipe off an old washing machine, cut up a coke bottle and wrapped it in stockings - awesome oh and the duel outlet exhaust
  2. i think the red and black is sweet, i heard ratrods were played out anyways My seat was in similar condition to yours, i redid it in some burgundy vinyl we had lying around Do yours red, il even throw in some white piping
  3. you can adjust the needle via moving a circlip on these to make it richer or leaner
  4. yea i did the same thing to mine twas sweet
  5. does the mudflap say Suzuki in raised letters? If so paint them white
  6. normaly i would suggest a splash of meths in the fuel (dunno if itl fuck witht he 2 stroke oil tho) for a decoke also shave down the head for max go
  7. have a trawl through the forums here http://www.morrisminoroc.co.uk/ there is literally everything you could ever want to know
  8. vans and pickups have chassis everything else is monocoque the travellers are just lol spec so dunno about them i would roll a van with fiat twincam series mm like mine and the lowlights in my opinion look the best with the splitscreens, small rear window and cheesegrater grills, however they have the sidevalve engine and it can be difficult to put anything else in as they dont have the bump in the bulkhead like later cars the series II still has the split screen and cheese grater grill, but was fitted with an 803cc A series with a really poo gearbox - however you can just slam any other rwd A series in there without too much effort (or any infact im pretty sure its all lego from this series on). Very rarely you can find a split window van or pick up (have seen conversions tho) then all the way up to series IV is pretty much the same - but with the larger engines and the very late ones have alternators and diskbrakes of course theres a ton of hot up parts and pretty much everything has been done before re alternator/engine/brake conversions
  9. well the screen is well and truly in there now have just installed the centre pillar, i found that the lower edges of the glass had crept in just slightly making the gap too small - so i dug out a near 100 year old sidevalve valve spring tool and was able to separate them (it spreads rather than closes, to push against the block i guess). The next problem was how to get the inner screen screws (they have an internal thread and the chrome pillar has studs) through the rubber as its a very tight fit. The easiest way i found was to assemble the inner parts (rubber gasket, inner metal pillar and the 4 screws) then poke 4 bolts through the centre rubber through to the inside. Thread the screws on and pull the lot through the rubber.
  10. not bad for 8 hours of work Ask anyone who has done work on a morrie - getting a split screen in (and getting it to stay in) is the cuntiest job possible - far more of a prick than the rear window or even taking the master cylinder out anyways - the straps are the recommended method i have set the centre gap to the recommended width for the gasket. Will leave it like this for a day or two for the rubber to settle down (its quite stiff - getting the interior flap to not roll under on itself was the main reason this job took so long). Then install the centre strip (chrome strip, T section rubber gasket, internal rubber gasket, internal metal strip). Then the two side chrome strips (some say they should be installed before the glass, some say after, i cant see it being a problem to do it after) You may note the old wof stickers - all from the early 80's. I managed to crack the passenger side glass taking it out, it had several kinds of glue in there so i expected i may break on of them. Fortunately i had a couple of spares, this being one of them. Also The bonnet and front grill have been installed - again with new hinge gaskets, bonnet bump stops, inner wing gaskets and park light rubbers. The fuel tank has been screwed back in (new tank to body seal on that one too). Will head back out later and sort out the headlights and associated wires
  11. sump baffles required/drysump like a pro or just do skid in the opposite direction
  12. only per side, if one side has all/both bulbs then it would work, if the other had one out then it may not work, my escort still worked with one out on one side, just worked slower yea thats what i ment
  13. i suggest crusty old gumwalls i mean you are just going to carve off the tread to make slicks aren't you
  14. perhaps a little more .... but not much more
  15. yea all bulbs need to be present otherwise there is not enough resistance in the circuit to trip the flasher
  16. also if its not putting out much power they will stick on blast it with a few revs and they will free up again
  17. what you do is roll in with frame number, engine number / make them up and a wad of cash ask for the scooter form (sub 2kw and 50cc to be classed as a scooter) fill out form pay cash for rego, licencing and new plate done
  18. why on earth would you want it to stop smoking zomg ham meat? i should figure out why mine stopped going and be twins
  19. i almost kill myself every time i get on one due to forgetting they dont have a foot brake and their turning pivot point good times
  20. re brakes on my suicycle i ran 2x brakes on the rear. just attach one in front of and one behind the bar they attach to make up a cable do line locks
  21. what you want to do now is whip the exhaust off and chuck it on the bbq will burn out any carbon deposits. Also put another outlet in it for more rasp/breathing.
  22. yea those pairs the colours will be slightly different
