Ok I'm a 1275 guy taking apart my first 948.? Pretty similar , I get that.? But I am curious about pistons and crowns.? This motor has flat top pistons that come right up to the head gasket surface on the block.? Just pulled the head and have not flipped it over to pull the pan.So far? it had tubular push rods , Isky valve springs & alloy retainers and the old style copper competition head gasket.? ?I think I'm onto something here!??Flywheel was lightened with a matched balanced pressure plate.? There's a lot here that tells me this may be a pretty interesting engine once I get to the cam and bottom end hardware.So are 948 pistons flat top or dished??There are no valve reliefs on the piston tops.ChuckStarting another interesting project...

Just checked a new spare I have (361-900/BRA960) and it shows ~249 ohm empty and ~17 full.  Moss says this is for a '72-80.

The 12A185 and the 12A629 were the original 948 castings, strangely, the
Cooper S used a 185 casting as well, but it was quite modified for that
application.

Chuck,

I had flat-top pistons with a stock head in my 948 bugeye. Compression
ratio was 10.5:1.  Start looking for some race gas.

It became practice (not sure if common or not) to refer to cranks and rods
by the casting number stamped on them rather than their actual part number
and that I suggest, explains the difference of a single digit of the number
on your crank and the part number for it.

Those ?guides? retain the rubber noise dampener rings installed by the factory when they built the engine. That is a really old cam gear.  Moss has new rings available, but not that cam gear.

I have a WC2 cam in my engine. I don't have the specs anymore but it was
the "fast road cam" of their series of 3 cams with the #3 cam being the
hottest of them. I spoke to the current owner of Winners Circle a couple of
years ago trying to get the specs on mine but never learned its lift or
duration. Back in the day it was comparable to the Kent fast road cam for a
spridget.

Hi List,

The list seems quiet (again) so here is a photo for you to guess what the
project is.  If no one can guess I'll provide another photo later.

There is NO PRIZE for being the winner!

Its the bracket for the front of the rear springs that gets, usually,  reused when the floor pans rot out and get replaced.

Close.

After fitting new springs to my Sprite with lowering front mounts that also
pick up the anti-tramp bars I wanted the ride height to remain the same so
had my one inch lowering blocks turned down to half an inch.  I fitted them
and the right height was ok.  I waited days or weeks for the springs to
settle and then welded the Panhard pick-up and drilled the holes for the
anti-tramp pick up on the spring U bolt brackets (that also pick up the
dampers) which both have to ensure the Panhard rod and anti-tramp bars are
horizontal and they were.

About two hundred miles later and the springs have settled some more and
the ride height is about half an inch lower than I want.  So I can remove
the half inch lowering blocks to get the ride height back to where I want
it.  BUT that will raise the centre spring brackets which will move the
Panhard and anti-tramp bars away from Horizontal.  So from a single piece
of aluminium block I have made two half inch spacers that will set below
the axle and while having no effect on the ride height, move the spring
brackets lower to return the Panhard and anti-tramp back to horizontal.
While it would be preferable to make new brackets it would be a lot more
work and expense and for the anti-tramp might also mean making new front
brackets as well.  I might do that one day but I need a quicker and cheaper
solution for now and this it.

Regards


Daniel

Spridgetly Peoples!
I thought I would forward this attached article I wrote for the Healey Club that tries to explain to those considering Vintage Racing a Spridget some of the options and experiences they may have.? There are probably many other options of course that were not covered, but at least this gives the potential Spridget Racer a small taste of what could be experienced.?
Please pass along to anyone you think maybe interested.? We have been very fortunate to have younger racers joining us and this may assist in continuing this path.
Enjoy a Vintage Spridgetly Life !Stan Mason
