Question:
Is there a spring that goes with this? The tiny springy thing on the tensioner does not provide enough force to even reach the chain. Am I doing something wrong? I'm using this on a 1275. Can I grind off the reinforcing (?) strap on the front faceplate/mounting plate enough to fit the placement tensioner's timing cover? It's a 72 Midget 1275.  I have everything in your kit, it's in a 61 Minor pickup..  In the process of the tensioner,  fast road cam. 1.5 roller rockers, 12 lb flywheel,  T 50 5 speed vernier timing gear, Hif 44, Ital exhaust, SS downpipe. Maybe my Metro turbo if carb alone isn't enough. The front plate (engine mounts) has a plate at the top that interferes with the tensioner's wider cover, going to cut or grind for clearance. The important question I how to get the tensioner to press against the chain as the tiny piece of spring doesn't do it, won't even touch the chain.  I have all the kit parys and the same again in used parts as shown in the mit you sell.
Answer:
Normally when someone wants to add a tensioner to an inline engine we offer this kit that includes a front plate that we've modified. Obviously, this plate won't work in a Morris Minor, but because you've done your own work it's harder to tell what the issue is from just your description.
The kit you bought is meant to fit simplex gears on a stock A+ set up so if your plate matches the holes on an A+ front plate on a Mini it should work.
