Looking and looking for a rear bumper for my 63 pickup. Please!
Thanks

Yes that's correct. Thanks. I'll send you an email.

That is one rare piece. I looked for a while for one for my SA pick up but never found one apart from a brand new one in the UK that did big money.
If in doubt, flat out. Colin Mc Rae MBE 1968-2007.

I'm setting my engine up with a 3.44 final drive because that's what I have access to but wouldn't be opposed to a 3.1 if someone had one they'd be willing to part with for less than new.
I've got a stack of FDs from 3.1 to 2.7 - email me.

Anyway, today my brother found some old Mini stuff I had stored in his basement perhaps 15 yrs ago. Well, one item that I know is in excess to my needs is a MK1 headliner (frame and material) for a Mini Van or PU. It is the front half only, as that is what was fitted to the vans and PUs. It is longer than a standard Mini front half. Anyway, if someone needs it, please email me and we can discuss it. Cheers, Hugh

What is a Hippo nipple?
An absolute neccessity for a proper Moke.
Should also have the hamster nipples on the English Mokes.

Yes, 850's and 998's can run well at that speed, if tuned properly. (Mine did.) They also have to be in reasonable condition. Any small engine-car will need to be down-shifted going up steep hills unless you have enough momentum built up.
There is no difference between a "1275" and a "1300". They are (unless a very unusual build) the same engine. 1275 engines are often referred to as 1.3 litre (rounding up), and then, because some people can't be bothered to write out the word "litre", and write it casually as 1300. But the displacement is still 1275cc. Larger capacity engines are usually bored out to suit the next standard oversize pistons, so produce specific displacements over 1300cc. The other way is to restroke the crank, which is costly.
For better performance for your engine, you can learn how to set points and timing properly, use a matched set of plug wires, tune the carb, and set valve clearances properly. Beyond that, you may need to replace worn parts, like possibly the distributor, possibly the carb, have a valve job done on the cylinder head.... The more you want to do, the more it will cost, but you know that. But you could get considerably more performance out of your engine by buying quality parts, which would likely be cheaper than installing a 1275. That's because any 1275cc you (or I) can afford would be used and not rebuilt. That means it will come with its own set of problems that will need parts and labour to sort out... like a new dizzy, a new carb, a valve job.... better brakes.... and it wouldn't be any more reliable than your current engine until you did.
I speak from personal experience - my current Mini came with a 1275 Metro engine, but it had a worn dizzy from a 998 (wrong advance for the engine), a worn carb from a 998 on a cast iron manifold from a 998 (just like yours!), a lousy exhaust system that probably caused me brain damage from the CO just driving it home, a leaky rad (and heater). Like you, my budget is limited, so I can only gradually improve my Mini over many years. I even considered swapping the engine for a nice, dependable 998 that would be cheaper to run.
(just replaced my temp gauge this week) I drive my mini with 998engine almost everyday about 30-34miles both ways. 60-65mph tops/ 4500-4700 RPM mostly level hiways from Miramesa to SDSU on the I-15 freeway. (It wants to go faster but I got traumatized after I blew up my gasket a few months ago from overheating (dual SU running too lean on one side, I wasnt educated about them few months ago). Ever since its been ok especially with the "low maintenance" single HIF38 carb) My temp peaks at 192-195F on a very hot noon time and 185-190F streets. Barely I would turn my cooling fan on except when Im stuck ordering Double double at drive thru In&Out. It screams but its been like this for months now. Just have to pay attention to detail to the car during, before and after driving I guess.
But Im open to replacing it with a $500 1275engine if it pops up on here again.

STOP GETTING INTO A DISCUSSION OR ARGUMENT WITH HIM !!!
YET ANOTHER THREAD IS IN DANGER OF BEING IRREPARIBLY DERAILED...
You talkin to me ? I know you ain't talkin to me !!! But just in case you are:
Look back this thread along with every other decent thread has been derailed on the first page by him Alex.
You may have started the thread but last i heard Mini Mania was not looking for a moderator.
Just for the record i was replying to Boison's lack of power in his 998 and that is what part of this forum is for last time i checked and btw he replied to Dan and i in a normal way. Yes i have argued and tried to correct him on issues and frankly that is none of your business, if you don't like it don't read it.
Seriously lighten up he isn't going anywhere and MM is not doing anything about it whether you i or anybody else posts he is still going to be here right behind us.
I know that bump on your head has not affected your judgement that much has it ?
Y'all have a nice evening now...... ;-)

I have an A+ engine 1275 that runs great which I recently pulled from my car and originally was from a 1991 mini. Not sure of the mileage but it is completely built with tranny, new clutch, water pump, slave cylinder. Pretty much a drop in engine and just add electrics, cooling, and exhaust. Im looking to let it go for $500.
Engine has been sold....
was it jeg who emailed you? even after i asked for your email? i showed interest first , not fair
"pirate" of the carribean
Yeah, I E-mailed him - about something completely different.
You're whining because nobody gave you his E-mail address - it's funny how I found it simply by clicking on his name, right beside his avatar image. Someone else may have done the same, and negotiated the transaction while you sit there with your thumbs waggling about and claiming that it's so unfair that nobody's spoon feeding you. Unbelieveable...
