But, if you race where you have an option, this is a really good device - 360-degrees of protection. And, virtually no chance your shoulder straps will slip off to the side.

A mutual friend of ours was hurt pretty bad years ago when his Midget got t-boned; so he's frequently suggested I get one. I don't have any measurements (not yet, anyway), only the two pics he emailed me. I'm not sure it really is for a Midget - so many people don't seem to grasp the difference between a Midget and an MGB. It "looks" wide but that could be an optical illusion due to the way the bars bow outward. I've never got a good look at one, let alone how they mount, and pics in my VB and Moss catalogs aren't much help. The rollbar is a couple of hours away and I don't have time for a wasted trip right now or I'd just go get it and sort it out later. I've posted the pics to an album on my facebook account: http://goo.gl/6KXaHX I'm hoping some of you more knowledgable people can look at these pics and tell me if you think this is for a Midget.

People here in Louisiana used to say they wouldn't wear a seat belt because they wanted to be able to exit the vehicle quickly in case they ran off in a swamp or bayou. Point is there are always excuses and justifications if you look for them. Having had Spridgets with roll bars and Miatas with roll bars I'll say that many are very good and enhance safety. There exists a double hump "style bar" for the Miatas that is dubbed the "rat trap". I would avoid those. Others, though, that have decent strength and good mounting points are very good. Hitting your head is always a risk on a street car that allows soft top function, unless you're a jockey. With a good padding, though, I think the risk of hitting your head is negligent compared to the benefits of added strength and stability, not just roll over protection. With the Hard Dog double diagonal bar in the Miata, I was confident that a yahoo in a jacked up pickup couldn't easily plow me under. Also, I'm sure side-to-side rigidity was greatly improved.

Matter of fact in the story I read the blow to the head by way of the roll bar ended up killing someone. The advice was to have a roll bar that would provide padding for your head . . however that could be done. I can't imagine how a metal contact point on a roll bar would be worse than having your head thrusted back without anything behind it? Thoughts?

Why not provide a mesh from the top of the seat back up to the padded roll bar? This may well assist in preventing the traditional whiplash neck injury and remind you under normal driving that you are going to head-but the bar as you lean back or stretch in the seat. I don't know of any-one who has done it but I will be looking into it further as my own motor progresses. There could be a 1001 reasons for it to be impractical and it could have been done already but I can't recall seeing one.

Glad to hear you are driving your '63, also! One of my main objectives, when I finally retire (negotiating final piece of "retirement puzzle", right now) is to take an extended, river valley tour. The back roads running through the Ohio and Upper Mississippi River (and tributaries) valleys offer some of the finest driving experiences and scenery available. A tour of the Missouri River valley may also be in store. Lots of details to be worked out, but hope to be driving my Mk I Midget, although I will probably do the tours in several phases using the Midget, my MGA 1500 and my MGB-GT.

I've got a shell which needs sills and pans, but do have most of the replacement panels. Bonnet is in good shape, but need some work. The car has been disassembled and is currently on a frame dolly. I do not have a title. I also have two 948 engines and transmissions, several sets of SUs, several extra doors, 2 wind screens, lots of disc and wire wheels and associated suspension components, bumpers, extra gas tanks, gauges etc. Basically, I have at least 1 of everything to make a complete car, plus many spares. I prefer to sell the entire lot together. Pictures available on request." Contact Chris: credsevens@yahoo.com Here are a few pictures.

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Errors-To: spridgets-bounces@autox.team.net Status: RO Well last weekend I picked up the 130lb springs as my neighbor asked for help getting his disc brake piston to go back in the caliper after he changed his pads. The giant c clamp seemed useless. So I had him open the bleeder cap and it finally freed the piston to fit back in. Then he helped me pull the 130 lb garage springs back as we installed the new ones on my garage door. The door wouldn't stay closed so I needed the 120 or 110 lbs and off I went for a swap. The 110 was the correct ones. They are perfect except I see no way to fasten the emergency cable without getting it hung up in the wheel. I'll have to search on line for an idea. BTW I helped my neighbor bleed his brakes too so we both taught and learned from each other.

From there, since most people don't lock their door to the house (the garage was locked so why lock the house door) & they're in your house that easy. No sign of entry, they just close the door behind them and no one knows. At the worst if your door has windows, they can break the glass, reach in an pull the cord and get in.

Several of the Midget and Sprite folks were wondering when the next spridget event would occur. Unfortunately, none of us had an answer. But we all agreed that it was much more fun than the event we were currently experiencing. I'd love to have a return to Elkhart Lake, but whenever you try to recreate an event you risk failure by direct comparison, and you risk over burdening the area organizers. There was mention of doing an add-on style event, and the best opportunity in the near future might be MG2016 event. It is a huge multi-registry event that is expected to draw 1300+ cars. With a little creativity we may be able to "piggy back" onto this event and still have a community feel. Just thinking out loud here. Feel free to comment... or not.

This should leave marks where the parts have been in contact with each other. Look closely for those marks, possibly as small shiny spots, if you can't find them (and I would presume you have looked fairly closely already) you will have to widen the search, say to the exhaust pipe or to the tail end of the prop shaft. Without hearing the noise it is hard to guess what it could be. Trust your ears, if it sounds to be coming from the rear of the seats it probably is. Can you lift the carpet to make it sound louder or can you feel a thump as it happens? Do you have access to a lithe young person who can wriggle round the motor as you are driving to listen for it? (no new comment is required - they have already been considered LOL!!) You could try introducing some lumps of plasticine (modelling clay) onto the gearbox to see if that gets squashed against the bodywork. I have known pieces of paper stuck onto bodywork to see what makes contact but would not recommend that technique. The edges need to be stuck down otherwise it blows off! If you get really desperate and have a video camera you are prepared to destroy, (I bought a $30 Vivitar DVR 508 just for this sort of thing) tape/wire/stick that on the pumpkin so it looks forwards and see how much movement you get at the tailshaft end of the gearbox. Frightening.

I bought a used one and had to rebuild that one as well (Thanks to Gerard, Ed and Peter C that is). Now the trans shifts super smooth (all new internal wear parts), but after the trans wams up, I get what sounds and feels like a metal on metal contact that comes and goes under load ONLY in third and fourth. I've looked down the tunnel, and there's nothing within 2" of the tunnel itself (kind of thought that it might be the zerc). So there's nothing near the tunnel to make contact, the only other thing that I can think of is the starter (Isuzu GR type) which sits very close to the passenger's foot well. but why just in 3 and 4, when I push everything harder in 1 & 2?BTW, all mounts are new, all mounts are tightly bolted down. Open to any suggestions, it runs very well, except for this which just makes me think I'm going to damage something (Again) when it occurs.

When shifting there are intermittent times when the clutch will not open up enough to get a clean shot into gear . . then it goes back to normal. It was actually shifting pretty well the other day when I used it to take a load to a recycle plant. But no doubt the problem will raise it's head again. I installed a new slave cylinder (not too expensive from LMC truck). Problem continued. So I guess I am now going to replace the master clutch cylinder. Any other ideas as to why this is happening, beyond replacing the master cylinder (or installing a rebuild kit) ? Just thought I would throw this out to the group in case someone has experienced this and found it to be from something different.

Get to it in a sec. Looks like I may be about to do one last blitzkrieg run to Long Island and back. The guy who says he wants my car has still yet to come up with any $, so I'm gonna call his business tomorrow morning and let him that I need the cash now or the car is moving South. At that point, I'm heading out - maybe as early as Tuesday morning. There will probably be no time to see anybody as I still have a ton of stuff to straighten out with only about a week left before beginning my new business. So anyway - Here are the questions: Question 1 - What is the inside track measurement on my '71 Spridget? If I rent a trailer from Penske or U-Haul or the like - I need to make sure it will not fall through the hole in the middle. It fit on a U-Haul when I carried it home from Frank's, but the Penske one I rented a couple weeks ago barely had room for my friend's '99 Toyota pickup to fit on the rails... Question 2 - If I can borrow a small (lawn-mower-type with ramp) trailer from somebody here for the round trip, what size does it need to be? Will something like a 5x10 work?

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Errors-To: spridgets-bounces@autox.team.net Status: RO Hey I just realized that there are lots of folks here who have no idea what's been going on in my life for the past few weeks. Of course, I have enough sense to realize that for most of you, not knowing what's going on in my life is a perfectly acceptable situation to find yourself in. and I'm cool with that. :-) Anyway - for those of you who: A) want to know and B) are not a Facebook pal of mine (you guys already know) Here's a quickie update. I am in the process of moving back home to Tennessee. Got here on Mother's Day with my truck, my motorcycle, some clothes, and a big grin. Went back a couple weeks later & rented a big Penske truck, then put all my stuff (except the Spridget, which was supposedly sold) into it and headed South on a grueling 20 and a half hour drive. Put all that stuff into storage, and continued looking for a house. Found a house in Murfreesboro, TN. Put an offer on it, eventually everybody agreed on a price and signed. I close on July 17th. Meanwhile, I'm starting a business to do work for my former employer (Standard Motor Products, Inc.) as an independent contractor doing research and data manipulation. That starts on July 1st. I have a small office set up in the bonus room over my parents' garage right now. This will have to do for the first couple of weeks. Of course, I will then need to ferry all my stuff into the new place from my storage facility. And work my new business. and get things sorted out with my new bank. and get my internet service established at the new house. and find a lawn mower. and get all the other utilities and stuff in my name. and... You get it. It's been a crazy few weeks, and it does not seem about to let up anytime soon. But hey - if it doesn't kill me, I'll surely come out stronger, right? - David ------------------------ spridgets@autox.team.net Archive: http://www.team.net/archive From spridgets-bounces@autox.team.net Sun Sep 9 06:42:27 2018 Return-Path: Delivered-To: mharc@autox.team.net Received: from autox.team.net (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by autox.team.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5237C2584870 for ; Sun, 22 Jun 2014 17:14:25 -0600 (MDT) Delivered-To: spridgets@autox.team.net Received: from mail-vc0-f174.google.com (mail-vc0-f174.google.com [209.85.220.174]) by autox.team.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 332B5258462A for ; Sun, 22 Jun 2014 16:09:09 -0600 (MDT) Received: by mail-vc0-f174.google.com with SMTP id hy4so5214450vcb.33 for ; Sun, 22 Jun 2014 15:09:11 -0700 (PDT) h=mime-version:in-reply-to:references:date:message-id:subject:from:to :content-type; bh=aqV3wCBx/4zzuvJT398CWWx7pN+T8e8qMMxXedKAeb8=; b=m0NJj3vxK0z3p0EUFshvjuoZms5mFBZN3BDlP8oNUZ4s2G3efisxSepdnnejVcGc5X g996bZZV+JNWK8zs9jDuPjbePuL874sfnrsKkPztgAL6HP0Vp+sZJcBsBFrxnQA1qfAb lzGHM2vCbuUFAh0iOpe2b6aUpTFaak2ilQJ+3ML+2ZX7T1lh6El3DkoucLrssuTNgx97 7pUMjCNI4EAgw1zmNc19x1DHNRQsvXI269r7BoVY6eLhSqvEhWkMJUbzXKWu0ZEb1fmF XNGufhcC8Fzo5dOMc27p3P6YRBQcwAIAiyW6fWJtLTcBgMEFkkqGGGStCK/GfHePlVPn sxTQ== xg20mr14428713vcb.3.1403459916733; Sun, 22 Jun 2014 10:58:36 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.58.164.133 with HTTP; Sun, 22 Jun 2014 10:58:36 -0700 (PDT) References: Date: Sun, 22 Jun 2014 13:58:36 -0400 From: Trevor Jessie To: brian S , Spridgets Subject: Re: [Spridgets] Rotary Bugye FS on CT CL Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Errors-To: spridgets-bounces@autox.team.net Status: RO The guy that built that posted about the process on the britishcarforum ... if anyone is interested.

It could very well be a worn selector, or it could be a number of other things. But none of them are hard or expensive to fix. Heck, I think you can even pull the trans on a Minor without pulling the engine! Might be wrong though. Anyways, I wouldn't let a slightly flakey trans put the kibosh on the deal. :-) Rick Sent from my keyboard > On Jun 22, 2014, at 7:01 PM, Matt Hendricksen wrote: > > Any Minor enthusiasts among us? > > I stumbled across a 59 Morris Minor 1000 at a car show that I drove the > Sprite to yesterday.

This was in the late 60's. The car was not considered a classic at that time but instead a family economy vehicle. This was before the onslaught of Japanese vehicles that later became so prevalent. The Minor was a regular driver. My friend and I often used it for Big Foot exploration in the forrest North and way East of San Diego . . two kids letting our imagination get away with us. Our interested was derived from a report from a Sheriff friend of ours who was called to a home situated on a large piece of acreage. For years It took both of us to work to the Balboa Park Merry-Go-Round outside of the San Diego Zoo. That car was driven and driven regularly and hard . . often carrying 4 long boards on the top going down the freeway towards the beaches. It never once displayed a mechanical issue. For all those years that little Minor just kept going and going never once complaining about all the use it was getting. Just some good memories . . .

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Errors-To: spridgets-bounces@autox.team.net Status: RO Here's a little bit of history and history in the making for today. First, the Spridget content. In the '70's my wife and I went to a performance at the Calumet Theatre in Calumet, Michigan in the Upper Peninsula - about as far North as you can go without getting wet in Lake Superior. We parked right in front of the door to the theatre - scored a good spot. When the performance was over and we were leaving, I turned the key and the Sprite filled with smoke - immediately! I quickly reached under the dash and wiggled any wires I could reach and it stopped - burned my fingers on the hot wires. Amazingly, the car started and we drove home. Latter I found that just the insulation had burned away and only one wire was affected. We turned out to be the second performance for the folks who were leaving the theatre behind us! Here's a recent picture of the theatre: http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/byways/Uploads/asset_files/000/015/402/CCT_nom_calumet_theatre2100.jpg or http://tinyurl.com/lz7z6yb We parked right in front of the covered entry on the right. Fast forward to 2014. The folks in the Copper Country (nickname for that region) are planning a community event to sing the National Anthem in the theatre soon to mark the 200th anniversary of of Francis Scott Key's song being written at the peak of the War of 1812. (I'm not sure how the math works out - seems to me 202 years). Here's a link to pictures to the inside of the theatre - it's a grand old building from another era and worth seeing. If you would like to go and sing, you will be rewarded with a free pasty as you leave the theatre. That's; PASTY - a meat and vegetable mix wrapped in a "pie crust."

Here's a little bit of history and history in the making for today. First, the Spridget content. In the '70's my wife and I went to a performance at the Calumet Theatre in Calumet, Michigan in the Upper Peninsula - about as far North as you can go without getting wet in Lake Superior. We parked right in front of the door to the theatre - scored a good spot. When the performance was over and we were leaving, I turned the key and the Sprite filled with smoke - immediately! I quickly reached under the dash and wiggled any wires I could reach and it stopped - burned my fingers on the hot wires. Amazingly, the car started and we drove home. Latter I found that just the insulation had burned away and only one wire was affected. We turned out to be the second performance for the folks who were leaving the theatre behind us! Here's a recent picture of the theatre: http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/byways/Uploads/asset_files/000/015/402/CCT_nom_calume t_theatre2100.jpg or http://tinyurl.com/lz7z6yb We parked right in front of the covered entry on the right. Fast forward to 2014. The folks in the Copper Country (nickname for that region) are planning a community event to sing the National Anthem in the theatre soon to mark the 200th anniversary of of Francis Scott Key's song being written at the peak of the War of 1812. (I'm not sure how the math works out - seems to me 202 years). Here's a link to pictures to the inside of the theatre - it's a grand old building from another era and worth seeing. If you would like to go and sing, you will be rewarded with a free pasty as you leave the theatre. That's; PASTY - a meat and vegetable mix wrapped in a "pie crust."

Since Guy mentioned Mr. Lucas, I'll add to this story. Sometime before I bought the Sprite, a previous owner experienced an ignition switch failure (hard to believe, I know, but not unlike current GM news!) His solution was to wire in a push button to engage the starter since the "ignition on" part of the switch still worked. (I believe the dried out electrical tape he used was behind the smoke incident from my previous post.) When I restored the car I attempted to rehab the ignition switch and thought I had fixed it. However, while out on one of the early maiden voyages, the car suddenly quit as I was driving along. I coasted to the curb - fortunately the power steering/power brakes still worked & the air bag wasn't much of an issue. At that point I didn't know why the engine stopped. After a few minutes I thought about trying the ignition switch and it started right up! I issued a recall on the switch, bought a replacement from one of the vendors, and installed the switch. Installation wasn't without challenges, however, since the terminals on the new switch were in a different order than the old one. After figuring out which were which the switch has worked well. (And, I shouldn't have just written that line!) Finally, in the 1970's people didn't carry around cameras like they do today so no pictures were taken of the smoke, Guy And, the reason I was able to park directly in front of the theatre door was that the idea of Handicap parking spaces (or "cripple parking" as my 92 y.o. Father-in-law calls them) hadn't reached the Copper Country yet. Times have changed: camera everywhere, handicap parking, and ignition switch recalls galore!

It has leading technologies (for better or worse) that other premium performance cars have and increased maintenance cost like tires and brakes every 30,000 miles or less depending on how sporty you drive. They have direct fuel injection, so the fuel (with cleaning additives) are injected directly into the cylinders, so it does NOT clean the deposits out of the intake/off the back of the valves - leading to the need to have the intake/head ports de-carbonized (other car manufactures' with direct injection engines will have the same issue. I think some MINIs have a dual-mass flywheel which leads to increased expenses when a clutch replacement is necessary. There is a single computer controlling EVERYTHING making for faster communication, but that means any problem and the car has to go back to the dealer to be re-programmed - even adding factory fog lights requires dealer programming (because of the "soft switches" used. If I was looking to buy one (and wasn't set on wanted a new one) I would try to find a "certified pre-owned" example with the extended warranty. That being said, I purchased my 2010 MINI Cooper Clubman new in Feb, 2010 - It has had some issues covered under warranty: The brakes did not properly seat-in, so at 1500 miles it received all new disks and pads under warranty. Also around 25,000 miles the windows started to have a rubber squeak what raised/lowered so it received new driver's and passenger side lifting mechanisms free under warranty. It now has 37,000 miles and is out of warranty (more than four years old), so I'll see how it goes.

The rear axle uses motor oil, or gear lube? thanks Brad -- DON JULIO 1942 http://tequilabrad.com/ ------------------------ spridgets@autox.team.net Archive: http://www.team.net/archive From spridgets-bounces@autox.team.net Sun Sep 9 06:42:31 2018 Return-Path: Delivered-To: mharc@autox.team.net Received: from autox.team.net (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by autox.team.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 98923258477E for ; Sun, 29 Jun 2014 20:15:59 -0600 (MDT) Delivered-To: spridgets@autox.team.net Received: from mail-oa0-f45.google.com (mail-oa0-f45.google.com [209.85.219.45]) by autox.team.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5F7AA2584709 for ; Sun, 29 Jun 2014 20:15:49 -0600 (MDT) Received: by mail-oa0-f45.google.com with SMTP id o6so8046260oag.4 for ; Sun, 29 Jun 2014 19:15:57 -0700 (PDT) s=20120113; h=date:from:to:subject:message-id:importance:content-type :mime-version; bh=UvchvkDbrDtcEXmo6hCw4Q5yMgsSnHcKg6a2qHUpUbM=; b=lbQ7/BjUZmsRjDxRX4VQAMlmKTIISFXoL5MsSza8FtkYiqPtWWAPwJjM2wwYQySAOC Wuk59LUpM4jZA6/+cIlhbEH08ByW1a43Ceng3mObeHAHwvkeiXc6JJ05HtPReoQvATjG 62tMtX8RDWfPjm4BafnQCwWGr2/+2JBossime7gxcjyOEOjt8GwSWCi14vzCRbcYzOI5 t5TIuVUyBWx5PhtnLU8eIp77gxl0NOihgBz3LLtEz9av9UzEwLXYZDORFWYpRQSUCORN kdz5g6Oei3jTpY85COmyfJdea8YJyT+z0ejUnDaT/z3mq/wfyKd17rDtyxPeB4nOwD/+ 6Nuw== i8mr5051599oex.67.1404094556902; Sun, 29 Jun 2014 19:15:56 -0700 (PDT) Received: from [10.125.177.155] (mobile-166-147-064-074.mycingular.net.

Me, Diane, and my daughter all snapped axles inside the diff at the splines. Older non hardened axles twist off and are a PITA to get the 1.5" piece out. Later hardened axles snap clean and if you are lucky, you can pop out the 1.5 piece with a thin rod taped to a broom handle. Or use a piece of aluminum lawn chair to poke out the stub when it breaks 3 hours from home. -- Frank Clarici Toms River, NJ ------------------------ spridgets@autox.team.net Archive: http://www.team.net/archive From spridgets-bounces@autox.team.net Sun Sep 9 06:42:31 2018 Return-Path: Delivered-To: mharc@autox.team.net Received: from autox.team.net (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by autox.team.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id A72D02584795 for ; Sun, 29 Jun 2014 21:40:48 -0600 (MDT) Delivered-To: spridgets@autox.team.net Received: from mail-ve0-f170.google.com (mail-ve0-f170.google.com [209.85.128.170]) by autox.team.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5DE442584709 for ; Sun, 29 Jun 2014 21:40:32 -0600 (MDT) Received: by mail-ve0-f170.google.com with SMTP id i13so7590163veh.29 for ; Sun, 29 Jun 2014 20:40:39 -0700 (PDT) h=mime-version:in-reply-to:references:date:message-id:subject:from:to :content-type; bh=cfP2ux3sK4zFz1YnfbVAPGqMzm8G+MP2V5HDUMpULcM=; b=dn0DOMlTEnVRmvSuQjLx3gdZEYLoELHZnrTs9zSopRrdjsW8Tyns9oMwt9YMKazfuZ qvRM+asrkcmkUyz+5JlyinD32zqdR7VU93L36pJZDxX2eDP07e+eWYyeqa0okaHa8dLE sZpJgjVMP2sJKc6deV/hHCq0sstrMcRNgBcN9907J/ZNa60BB00d0O9i2rc6OYJISTFg oARqpJ0uJa3GZMmAHbo4g9Xd/+2b2ugH1iVgcpjjjEY/P0cpAcDek3J1TEfNmQI1C6of gCYC2CVhH3FAG8hVufIZ3c2XmVDhgukf0di0nCZ9+NbRzC0qPisW0oHIW5K4VLLRDecr uepg== mf10mr18012225vec.22.1404099639335; Sun, 29 Jun 2014 20:40:39 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.221.32.133 with HTTP; Sun, 29 Jun 2014 20:40:39 -0700 (PDT) References: <01D11E1F-6F93-4000-97A2-D4014E3589D5@comcast.net> Date: Sun, 29 Jun 2014 22:40:39 -0500 From: Matt Hendricksen To: "spridgets@autox.team.net" Subject: Re: [Spridgets] Morris Minor 1000 transmission Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Errors-To: spridgets-bounces@autox.team.net Status: RO Great tips and stories all -- thanks!

Those stubs can get wedged in there pretty tight and I'd just bite the bullet, remove both axles, driveshaft and pull the pumpkin. You may find some ground up metal in the diff case anyway that you'll want to clean out and you will probably need to get a thin steel rod and a heavy hammer to knock the stub out. Try to find a replacement from a later Spridget as they are hardened. The right one is the one that usually breaks. In an ideal world you want to replace one from the same side of the car as the splines take a set with use, but you might not be able to get that picky. Don't forget ti get a new gasket for the pumpkin and have a couple of shooters when it's all done. Not to difficult a job and pretty satisfying.

I am only getting about 27 MPG these days. I understand there is a carbon cleaning of the head they can perform to help this. I did have the tensioner pulley come loose and dump 4 qts of oil on the street. Towed to dealer, fixed under warranty. They gave me a loner of a non-S vertible tho.
