Brake linings are porous, the oil will get into the linings and effectively ruin them. However, in an emergency, cleaning will help. I use alcohol because it will completely evaporate off, almost all

In this world there are a number of things that fall under the very, very useful category-alcohol is one of those things. You can wash in it, clean things in it, desolve things in it and drink it! Ja

There is one company that makes a lacquer type spray paint-the trouble is that I can't remember their name. Only good news is that I know they are one of the big name brands and are sold nationwide

I am pretty sure that Hillman Minx radiators are different from the Alpine radiators-the Hillman rads are tall and thin while the Alpine rads are short and wide. Jan Cheers Vic Hughes

You might try pushing the operating rod into the slave cylinder-this will push fluid up into the master cylnder and might free a stuck piston. Jan Eyerman 1959 Hillman Minx Series III DeLuxe 1973 Hi

It appears that Rootes, going back to the days of the early Rapiers, intended the overdrive to allow for better acceleration rather then higher top speeds. Whenever an overdrive was fitted, the rear

The failure HAS to be the master cylinder. If there was any problem with the slave cylinder, it would leak fluid. However, my experience has been that whenever I rebuild one of the two cylinders, in

I am not sure if those numbers are right, I have calculated 3500 RPM for a '59 Minx with a 4.55:1 rear with 5.60x15 tires. Even with smaller wheels, I would assume an Alpine with a 4.22:1 rear would

The two tires are substantially different. The 5.90x13 was for European cars (specifically British) and was a variation of the 5.20/5.60 tire. The 6.00x13 was specifically for American compacts (Corv

If a 5.60x15 is 25.90, then a 5.60x13 should be 23.90 (there is no difference in the tire, only the wheel). I did the math years ago on the Minx with a 4.55 and it came out to 3500 RPM at 60 MPH (thi
