I found a web site that lists the bolt patterns with the make and models of various cars. Now I had already known that the Chevy Vega wheels will fit, but here is the complete list of cars that had t

Bill, You have it wrong, MOWOG was just being playful. If the great almighty MOWOG had been angry, you would have heard the ticking for only a brief moment before the entire axle and wheel assembly p

A little gearhead trivia for you...... In the '50's Chrysler produced some cars with six volt alternators. Another option to consider for a unique project.;o) -Aron Travis"always in a automotive fren

Do any of the aftermarket companies offer clutch stuff for the Midgets? Anything other than stock? I'm interested in both the 1275 and 1500 engine series. -Aron Travis"always in a automotive frenzy"

Howdy all, I finished welding the damage to the sway bar mount on the '78, plus welded some cracks around the holes for the steering rack mounts. I'm for sure going to pull the engine and replace the

In this months 'Mini Mania' flyer they are advertising rebuilt ribcase transmissions guaranteed to not jump out of second gear. They imply that this is a cronic problem, and that they rebuild the tra

The '55 Chrysler Newport had a 6V Alt., leave it to Chrysler to come up with this engineering. I agree it is a 'specialty item', but interesting that it exists. I am friends with a diehard Chrylser n

MOWOG is stamped on a lot of MG parts. It stands for (I think...) MOrris, WOsley, mG. The god MOWOG goes by many names however, like FoMoCo, VW/OOOO, ACDELCO, etc. And, don't forget the prince of dar

I talked to my Chrysler nut friend, he confirmed that the 6V alternator was primarily for police cars in need of extra power for the police equipment. Rare, in other words. He brought up a good point

More junkyard finds. Two MGA's at Cousins Body Shop in Melbourne, they have a small salvage yard in back of their place. I've heard bad things about this place, but you never know. I'm always afraid

I think that the upper limit is 10.5:1, 11:1 if you polish the chambers. Shoot for 9.5:1 to 10:1. The book "Auto Math Handbook" by John Lawlor is good with the equations for figureing out stuff like

I have Cooper's on one of my vechicles, and I will never buy them again. I had four flat tires (3 rear, 1 front) within one year. They seem to have no puncture resistance. On flat was caused by a 3/8

What should the stock ride height be for a '71 Midget? My Haynes manual doesn't cover it. I'm suspicious that it's been lowered because it looks low (duh) and the tire wear indicates more negitive ca

My '71 has round arches, but it is titled as a '72. I think that this common discrepency between year made vs. titled has caused confusion too. -Aron Travis"always in a automtive frenzy"

Unfortunatly most of the machine shops in my local area have balked at reaming my king pin bushings for the '78 Midget. So...... Does anyone know of a place that can do it in the central Florida area

I think all rubber bumber midgets have square arches. The round arch weakened the rear structure enough that they switched back. I heard that there was goverment intervention in this too, as a safty
