Re: Starter motor pinion cover
I would just bend some sheet alloy into a box and trim to fit. Drill your own holes for self tapping screws. Not really difficult with a cheap metal break. Do the shape in cardboard first, then trim and bend your sheet metal. I taught myself to do this to make a box over the pedal quadrant to keep t...

Re: Starter motor pinion cover
As I recall, I just bolted on my geared starter. No holes to drill. The kit I was using was the Westfield kit. I have all the pictures, but I didn't re establish the US site. I do have a bunch of information that could be put up here if there was a place for it. I may re establish both my sites (Ren...

Re: Starter motor pinion cover
There is a pinion cover for the starter? My three T9 kits didn't have such a thing. But then... I used a geared Hitachi starter (I use "British Starters" conversions), so I didn't need to bore a hole in the bell housing to clear the Bendix. But I did have to cut a chunk off the starter cavity housin...

Re: 180 big ones and not even a chassis number?
Well, no chassis number, and what is a "solid DeDion rear axle"?
There is a solid rear axle, or a DeDion rear suspension, meaning a chassis mounted differential, half shafts and a DeDion tube connecting the left and right uprights, with trailing arms locating the DeDion tube.

Re: anti roll bar mounting
Of the 4 anti roll bar installations that I have done, I had to counterbore the blocks to clear the bend radius on all of them. The counterbore is no more than about 1/8" deep, and in at least one case, I just used a countersink to make enough clearance for the bar bend radius. The fit is pretty tig...

Re: anti roll bar mounting
This is a universal problem with the anti roll bar kit from Westfield. The kits are not accurate. If your bar is being captured by the blocks at the bend, you may have to get another bar from Westfield. Or... If this is a tight setup, there are a couple of things you can do. First, drill the mountin...

Re: Rear Axle Widths
It really doesn't matter which axle housing you use if you want to go with wire wheels. There are a couple of different backside spacing 15" wire wheels you can use in the rear, including a 5.5 and 6" widths in both rim and center laced types. I like to use the 5.5"X15 TR250/TR6 center laced wheel t...

Re: 2020
Lots of stuff... I would love to get a set of the competition spindles, new wheels (wire or disc?' Would love to have wobbly webs, but we need 5 owners who WANT them and will pay for them. Offset/backside spacing and width are options for each buyer). Double adjustable Protech dampers would be nice ...

Re: Manifold for Weber 45DCOE
For power, the longer the better. Maniflow will make an intake to your specifications, I believe that the last one I used was 6" long (much longer than would fit in a Mini), with a slight rise to it, about 3/8", from the cylinder head to clear the frame with the K&N air cleaner with stub stacks on t...

Re: My 11 build
I left off the rear wheel housings as they got in the way of changing the rear bushings, which needed replacement every few hundred miles. I imagine that with the later bushings (4 pc urethane) that you won't have to do that much service. I have the later type bushings installed at the chassis end o...
