  1. good name for that car
  2. you ride that for the air-conditioning.
  3. my notes on that switch Morris Minor Lowe & Fletcher SWH116X Nieman type BHA5215 You might be able to get a new switch and key set from Moss or here https://www.morrisminorspares.com/ https://www.morrisminorspares.com/electrical-c54/electrical-switches-charging-c56/ignition-switch-steering-lock-lowe-fletcher-less-swt116a-electrical-switch-p1238258
  4. Isn't it nice to have more clearance up there?
  5. The flat front face of the air filter is unique. Has anyone seen these and the elements elsewhere?
  6. Looking for a used 13" classic spoke style that fits Caterham hub or shaft like this Red leather wrapped Lotus style is preferred
  7. Might try calling Jeff Sloan at Brit Auto 817-589-7974 He may have something on hand
  8. Pictures!
  9. Pictures!
  10. Fantastic build! Yea, just keep adding to this as you go. What cockpit points are the rear straps attached to? The seat belt anchors? Very clever.
  11. Not a buyer, just wondering what this is?
  12. I'm considering going to a 13". Less twitchy steering.
  13. Its going to be missing parts anyway
  14. I like the steering wheel
  15. Thats an incredible piece of equipment and the results are fantastic. Totally get the no doors thing. And the ear bashing turbulence thing. I resort to ear plugs and will probably find a driving helmet with ear protection.
  16. people want to assume that a prop shaft is correct as new from a manufacturer, but balance is something to always check if you haven't verified it yourself.
  17. Well, its open wheel
  18. wow...
  19. The engine out. do it.
  20. 1. make score marks on the flanges so you put the shaft back on in the same orientation. 2. The differential flange bolts are not usually high torque items, so removing and assembly isn't difficult. Drive shafts are usually simple items. Now is a good opportunity to take it to a drive shft shop and have the balance checked, any repairs done and grease toped off.
  21. I know we're all joking around here, but Id like to add.. The Skyline wasn't seized because it was a Skyline, But because it wasn't on the manifest "Smuggle". The issues with the car can be resolved one way or another, but falsification can't be dealt with kindly. Customs is mostly focused on drugs , IPR violations and terrorism now. They don't care what it is as long as everyone is truthful about it and its clean.
  22. can you rotate the shaft to look for zerks? they can be very hidden in a u joint. Is there grease slung in the tunnel around the joints? Your joint looks clean, like sealed bearing, but I don't know if sealed would have circlips. I have a loose shaft (not really) and it looks a lot like yours (I hope not) Flip it over and there is a grease zerk
