A way to avoid greasing up your rotors - Saran Wrap. (Seriously!) Filch the Saran Wrap from your wife's kitchen drawer, and wrap a length around the perimeter of the rotor. Pull it tight so it start

I'm trying to recall what you were doing with the front suspension aside from the bigger brakes (that was you, wasn't it?). Have you replaced the bushings? If not, could the old bushings have enough

Not all of the 1500 Midgets had air injection at the head. The '77s (at least) had it into the exhaust manifold. Chris Kotting ckotting@iwaynet.net

So far as I know, the only 5-speed conversion for a 1500 Midget uses the 5-speed from a Ford Sierra / Merkur XR4TI. The kit is available from Frontline Spridget in England. Chris Kotting ckotting@iwa

As far as I know, if it looks like a Phillips and it's on a Spridget, it's actually a Posidriv. (If I'm wrong on this, someone correct me before I bodge up a real Phillips screw!) In essence, the tip
