So I may have missed it but, is it still possible to get one of those
stickers?
I still have the Father's old Midget that was sold (to me!) to raise
funds for the building of the Holy Sprite :)

You guys are awesome! 
Btw, if anybody's interested in buying that old Midget, I'd be willing
to sell it to someone who appreciates it. It'll soon have a brand new
FC sticker on it! :)

I agree, It so so good to ?see? youse guys sometimes.. Still makes me a bit sad that I am no longer a Midget owner after aso many years, but living in an RV and travel. . . .  errr sitting in one spot for the last couple of months HOPING we can safely travel soon, is a nice life to have.

No, I mean literally some guy is going after anyone using remove before flight lanyards! I?ve maybe 6 or 7 different company?s versions. They were at every trade show (remember those back in the olden days in February?) and it was always fun to seek them out!

I don't think you can patent a phrase.  I have seen plenty of other stuff
with that phrase on it, control locks for light aircraft, pitot tube
covers, etc.  Here is a streamer from Sporty's.

I'm surprised to see that sticker says 1955-2011. Has it really been 9 years? Tempus fugit.

I agree with the comment that it probably wouldn't hold up in court, given common usage. Think kleenex and dry ice and others. But, I wouldn't pay a lawyer to fight it.

Okay Spridget universe, I need to draw on your collective knowledge.

Dropped the oil pan on my "new" 1970 Midget.? The good, no metal.? The mystery is shown in the attached picture.? A plastic tube, approximately 3/8" OD, threaded on end laying in the bottom of the pan.

I'm quite familiar with these cars, but have never seen anything like this.? Any idea what this is?

That is the plastic tube your dip stick goes into. Those threads stick 
into the block and the dip stick goes in to it and holds it up.

Yup, absolutely that?s it. Usually 30-50% of the many engines I?ve disassembled have that crackerjack toy in the pan.

Jon and Bob.? THANK YOU!?? Makes sense.? I had tried fitting the dipstick, and found the upper portion too large in diameter, so it's possible the prior owner jammed it into there once too often.

Spridget Nation rocks!? Unless someone has trade marked that already.

I don?t believe that?s a Girling part number, probably a vender number. No such number found in a Girling application list.

I have a modified 948 engine in my bugeye. Its been bored to 998, ported polished, balanced and with a mid range camshaft and lightened flywheel. It runs beautifully at 4500 RPMs on the highway but that redline is easy to get close to when enjoying the late summer nights. Is the original redline accurate for the modified engine and how do you know what makes redline? I don't want to risk damaging the engine but I also don't want to baby it.

The "red line" is relative for a stock motor.The things that make a difrence are using better connecting rod bolts and a well balanced bottom end.? ?Then you can get into better connecting rods , forged pistons and money.? Simply boring out the motor , adding a healthy cam shaft and a good flowing cylinder head does not improve the durability of the bottom end.? ?In my estimation the best investment is balancing .? ?ChuckSent from my LG Mobile------ Original message------From: Ryan Kubanoff via SpridgetsDate: Thu, Aug 13, 2020 8:59 AMTo: spridgets;Cc: Subject:[Spridgets] redline?

Ryan,
Your build sounds much like mine.  I used a ported/polished/skimmed 12g295 head, Kent 266 cam with duplex gears and light weight followers, lightened and balanced bottom end, 998 Cooper floating rods, flat top 998 pistons, CR is in the neighborhood of 10.3 to 1, a Cooper S distributor to match, and high flow manifolds from Maniflow.  I'm also using a Weber 40 DCOE.
My tach isn't accurate and it would be foolish to suggest how fast your engine will turn. Besides, I'm pulling more weight than you are.  This engine is in an Austin A40 Farina!
You may want to book an appointment with a rolling road specialist to accurately determine peak power.  There are many variables to consider...
Tom

Standard advice is to twist it until it breaks and back off 500 rpm.
Seriously, I have a balanced 948, bored to 998. Stock rods, flat top
pistons 88G 229 cam and 4:55 rear end.  I usually shift at 6,000 rpm during
an autocross and run it between 5 and 5.5k on the highway.  A well balanced
948 will rev pretty good.  Motor has over 20k mi on it and no signs of
breakage, but YMMV may vary and remember the other old saying, "You break
it, you bought it."

We just had a similar discussion on the Triumphs list, precipitated by 
the passing of elder statesman, so to speak, who had a collection of 
technical documents online.? Various places were able to download all 
the info to their sites, so nothing would be lost.? There is certainly 
room on the Team Net server for the pdljmpr stuff, the problem is 
getting it all downloaded to another location in a complete, accurate copy.

Hello Michael,


     I just changed over from positive ground to negative so that I
     COULD run an alternator instead of a generator. ... but instead
     of going  "tight" I went with a "genernator" (from bugeyeguy.com)
     Its an alternator built into a stock generator housing.

     As to the pdljumper websight, THANX. I couldn't find the proper
     link when I was looking a couple of months ago. I remember going
     there when the sight was active.

For anyone with access to a terminal window and the command line on their Windows/Mac/Linux box, the magical command is:

wget -r -c -np http://pdljmpr.tripod.com <http://pdljmpr.tripod.com/>

wget 	: retrieves the contents of a website
-r		: recurse down into the subdirectories
-c		: if interrupted, continue from where you left off
-np		: no parent; don't go up levels of directories on the server, just do the named site down

There seem to be a lot of errors (broken links?), but I got 5.5MB of files in under 2 minutes. YMMV.

Total wall clock time: 1m 56s
Downloaded: 276 files, 5.5M in 0.8s (6.77 MB/s)

Planning on pulling the lump together. I removed the 2 bolts in either side of the tunnel. The two bolts that normally come in from the bottom of the car through the bracket are not there neither is the bracket. However when I look through the peep hole at the tale end Of the trans I can see a metal strap bolted to the trans mounting bracket. Does this need to be removed? It?s been 10 years since I pulled the lump.

Chuck, that strap was on the 1974 midgets and it was put there to keep the
engine and transmission from leaving the car in case of an accident. It
needs to be removed :-)

Ryan,

That metal strap in the photo will come out with the tranny.  I thought you
meant the cable (which was on the late 74 thru 79 model cars).  I have a
collection of them that have been removed from various cars ;)

A Tilton race clutch on an alloy flywheel is within 1.015"-1.020 (shorter ) in the assembled height from flywheel flange mount surface to the throwout bearing contacts.Now what in the Sam Hill am I working on?I am attempting to mate a Saab 900 annular throwout bearing assembly to a spridget rib case front cover.? So far i got the Saab transmission case that the bearing assembly mounts into. That piece of case is cut out so I can utilise it as a machined mount for the bearing assembly.? ?My last unknown factor in doing this is how high does the stock graphite bearing stand off the transmission front machined area of the trans case.? ?That determines how much I need to drop or raise the Saab unit to acomodate the Tilton assembled height.? If successful I would have a very available off the shelf Saab part ( they are not very expensive!) which with 3 bolts and 2 hydraulic lines can be changed if needed easily.??I do realize someone with a large and or a milling machine can fabricate this.? ?Also a company or 2 have something engineered.? ?The finances that are not blooming or growing on trees around here dictate I do all the mock up & fabrication work.? ?At the end it may come down to paying someone to tig weld the mount to the rib case front cover.? ?OR!? Possibly not once I have a target height for the assembly to fit into.? This adapter plate might end up in a bolt in state.? Though I somewhat doubt it.So this is what the "please measure the assembled height of a stock 1275 clutch " was about.? In the mean time I was given a rusty ( pitted but for mock up use GREAT!)flywheel & I had a damaged disc & pressure plate.??So!? I review I know there is a 1" difrence in the 2 clutch assemblies.? ?Tilton being the shorter of the 2.? ?Now i need to confirm the distance from the trans case machined flat where the front cover mounts to the carbon throwout bearing pressure plate contact surface.? Then it's aluminum chips flying and die grinders grinding until I achieve the desired hydraulic throwout bearings "at rest" height.Some fun...right?You should have seen the engineering of the reverse lock out , shortening a shift lever and turning it down for a shift knob and making the torque arm that links the top of the transmisdion bellhousing to the drivers foot well.? And modification of Mini minifin alloy drums to fit and on and on!? ?Making the hood a road & track hood by simply removing 4 bolts for a at track lift off hood yet retaining the hood on hinges as a street car.? The competition oil pan gave me fits too!? It was for a small journal engine.? .i had to graft a piece of 1275 pan onto it for the accommodation pf the 2" bearing bigger rear main cap.? Make a windage tray and oil pickup and change the block to stud attachment for the pan rather than bolts.? Also slightly modify ( relieve & fabricate a piece of pan to weld in.) The pan to acomodate a spin on filter on the engine.? ?I still have not limited the "drop" of the rear axle of the car gets light or airborne in the rear!? Literally considering 2 pieces of chain!The car looks like a 1970 Midget.? ?Right down to the rocker "MIDGET" lettering and stainless molding between the black rockers & body color.? Thats all chrome Mylar art work compliments of a late friend of the central Penn Saab Club.??Lots of things to look at and wonder is it or is it not.... If I had realistic ( right look & scale) door lock cylinder decals , I might consider applying them too!??Still hunting for 3 ( i have 1) first design rostyle rims ( the style Frank did not care for) for street rims for the car.ChuckPlugging awaySent from my LG Mobile

Jim,

>From 1974 thru 1979 (and maybe 1980 in Canada) there was a cable that was
installed on the tranny mount to keep the engine and transmission in the
general vicinity of the car in case of an accident........

In the MGB and some Midgets it was a steel rod instead of a cable.  (I had a few of those too).

Chuck, that strap was on the 1974 midgets and it was put there to keep the engine and transmission from leaving the car in case of an accident. It needs to be removed :-)

Subject:[Spridgets] Removing lump on 74 midget


Planning on pulling the lump together. I removed the 2 bolts in either side of the tunnel. The two bolts that normally come in from the bottom of the car through the bracket are not there neither is the bracket. However when I look through the peep hole at the tale end Of the trans I can see a metal strap bolted to the trans mounting bracket. Does this need to be removed? It?s been 10 years since I pulled the lump.

I first ran across one of those on a 1975 Midget. After finding it on the
car I did some checking as to what it was. I remember it being referred to
as a "torque restraint". As others have said, it was added to prevent the
lump from coming out of place in the event of a crash...

What is the safest and best way to remove everything to bare shell?

1. Anti roll
2. Steering rack and tie rod ends as one
3. ?

Find a Benteys manual, if possible.
Those front wheel bearings can be tricky if you replace them; read up on it
before doing so.

When Dick and Rochelle Nyquist (who I first met through the SOL list 30 years ago) barely escaped from a fire a few years back, that was a real wake up call. I already had a mental checklist of most of the high priority stuff to pack into my van.  When the van was full, we still hadn't gotten the mandatory evac notice, so I started packing the trailer.  I've been storing Jasmine, my BGT, in the trailer.  I don't have the resources to finish getting her back on the road, and I need the garage for other work.  Unloading the MG from the trailer would have taken more time than I felt I had, so I grabbed the blower, and a couple of other key pieces, put them in the passenger seat and just packed around her.

Hello Spridgets,

  Soooo... I had the front end rebuilt last year. The car (Sprite MK
  III) sits too high in the front, visually. The bottom of the fender
  is about 2 3/4" above the top of the tire on the left (driver) side
  and 3 1/4" above the tire on the right side. ...

  I see the the workshop manual that there were actually 3 different
  length springs from Bugeye to Mk IV with a total difference of about
  1/2", tho the load rating never changes. I only see two different
  springs offered for sale.

  So, a few  questions.

  A) how far above the tire should the bottom of the fender be? Could
  someone (multiple people) measure and report?

  B) Should I just lower the spring pan 1/2" on one side to get the
  car to sit level? Is there a downside to this (It IS a cure for
  "bachelor lean" and I had it like that before the front end rebuild)

  C) Has anyone had custom springs made, and if so where and does the
  company have records to get another set made up?

  D)If I get a set made up, should I then go ahead and have different
  lengths made to make the car sit even? or go with the spring pan
  lowering?

  E) Does taking a set amount (say 1") from the length of the spring
  lower the by exactly that amount, or is there some other effect
  going on to make it some multiple or a fraction of the 1"?


  I know there are some racers out there who have lowered the front
  end much more than stock. What's the method .. Spring pan? Spring
  set? or something else?

Ok.? ?Lots of stuff.Lowering the spring pan lowers the car.? If your car is experiencing that much difrence side to side tells me you have a bad spring.Purchasing a new set should determine a new equal ride height.? ?If you have 1 bad spring , shimming it , adjusting the spring pan height is only going to make your car look right sitting still!? ?Handling is compromised and fooling with adjusting the spring height to level the car is dangerous proposition.??What year car are you working with?? ?That might start to direct you towards a new set of springs.? The front end weight will determine which springs you should be shopping for.? ?Yes cut coils , heated coils to collapse them and lowering the pans are all methods to drop ride height.? ?But those methods are done the same amount to both sides at a time , not 1side or another.Please rethink your resolve.ChuckSent from my LG Mobile

Hello crusaderchuck55---,


When they rebuilt the front end they put in NEW springs. Thus the rise
in height.

The car is a 1966 MK III originally 1098 now 1275.


I know better than to heat the springs or cut out coils or use coil
clamps to lower the car.. ergo the idea of having a set made.

Might not so much be a bad spring but a mis-matched pair you have been
sold.  I know its a PITA but I would swap the springs from one side of the
car to the other and see if the ride height difference also transfers
sides.  if it doesn't you have some other problem (damaged wishbone and pan
or whatever) that's the issue.

Spring rates can vary along with spring height so while spacing the
wishbone pan is attractive and my first though until I read what Chuck
says, he is right, don't space the wishbone pan on a single side.

Regards


Daniel

Hello Weslake1330,


       I'll have the front springs checked for a mis match. .. THey're
       new but Norry's law, "just because it's new doesn't mean it's
       good" applies.

       Lets's say for the sake of argument that the springs ARE
       matched in length. Perhaps the front end  chassis legs are
       bent? in that case would there be a downside to having a set or
       springs MADE that were of different lengths but had the same
       spring rate as each other?


-- 
Best regards,
 Bill                            mailto:Zormecteon at comcast.net

If the fronts match it's more likely that one of the rear springs is causing the lean.  Look at the rear corner diagonally opposite the high front corner.

On the Bugeye, IIRC you can space down the spring perch using spacers and longer bolts to get the correct ride height, but new fronts and worn rears may not work out. Ever.  Try new rears!

Lester and gang,

You can space the spring pan down the same way on all Spridgets all the way to '79.  Lowering the spring pan down 1/2" lowers the front end 1".

 You can get 15 leaf rear quarter ellipticals from these people.? Made the same way the original were made.? I bought a set for my BN2 and am very satisfied for correct ride height.

With the difrence between to 2 sides up front , I am suspecting either a mis matched pair of front springs or one spring is defective in its temper.? ?Yes a rear leaf spring can effect an opposite front corner.??Yes there are a number of rear spring things to look at.? Look for a broken leaf in both springs.? ?That can be almost invisible to a hunk of a leaf literally missing.A weak leaf spring could be possible.? ? Some really messed up bushings could be possible too!? ?BUT!? MY BET is " one of these springs is not like the other....see if you can guess which one it is"?First test would be both springs next to each other.? A second test would be to see if you have a good spring shop nearby.? ?If so see if they have a way to test / check a coil spring.? And a last test is to throw money at the car , tell it you love it and buy it a new pair of front springs.....the car will respect you in the morning!!!!ChuckBeen there...broke that.....fixed that....broke it again......eventually fixed it!Sent from my LG Mobile

Subject: [Spridgets] Metal thickness??
Message-ID: <7D1692B4-41CF-4ECE-9B38-DA24712A06AA@comcast.net>

Preparing to patch holes in midget and it seems the metal on the wings is thinner than the floor and A pillar. This would make sense but what are the metal thicknesses? The small patches I need to make don?t really require patch panels and I think I could use steel from Home Depot but don?t know what thickness to get. 

Thoughts ?  Information?

Ryan,

I use 18 ga in the floors and rockers, and 20 ga for the balance of the
car.  You want to match the steel you are welding into the car with the
steel that you are welding it into.

If you have old/used fenders or other body parts you are discarding, you
can cut metal out of them to patch the areas you need to patch.

How much steel do you need?
