BRG does cover a range - probably each team's preference/what was available. Some of the BRG's (possibly that used on production MG's) are quite light - almost a leaf green. My preference is for a da

No, that would be offensive to those engaged in the 'Recreational Chemicals' In fact anything suggesting a hierarchy would not be acceptable. Perhaps all these systems should be completely redesigned

Two-stroke motorcycles often have reed valves on the inlet side, I don't know if this would be worthwhile on a four-stroke engine. As I understand things the problem that is that exhaust gases go bac

Judging by the slumped position of the person in the right hand seat, I think this is a left hand drive car. As far as I know pre-war Alfas (and Dolomites) were all RHD. It also appears to have twin

My Sprite has a locker in it - and that is a bit abrupt in its action. I have no experience of the torque biasing diffs (Quaife, Torsen) but I understand that they are the most user friendly of limit

Sprite halfshafts are a bit weak anyway. And yes I broke one not long after fitting the new diff three years ago - but that is with a blown A-Series. At least I could still drive home on the other on

There is not a huge difference. It really depends on what measuring equipment you have, the main bearing diameters are easy enough to measure, but are not conclusive! Dimensions in inches. 948 1098 (

No, it communicates through to the back of the belt housing casting and from there through into the engine block. The hole in that fitting is pretty small though. I have a blown Sprite with the belt

It can be just the result of the compression ratio being fairly high for an iron engine running on standard fuel. I had a tuned A-Series that did that - I just got into the habit of flooring the thro

It would seem reasonable that, as you suggest, the basic design came from someone like Palmer, the detail and productionising from the engine plant. for someone else's work. Allison also mentions a r
