Thats a typical us headlamp, they like sealed beams for some reason

Steve Cooper of the VJMC recently wrote a feature in Classic Bike Guide detailing how to convert US sealed beam unit to one with a lamp holder. It was about 4 or 5 issues ago. Unfortunately I now have to throw my bike mags away after I read them to avoid 'clutter'.

ok
back from holidays,so to work,

fitted new MB9U battery,

  all the electrics work,lights,indicators,starter,

at present the rear indicators have red lenses,are they legal in the UK ??

replacing various missing blots,

 next job,do I need to strip the carbs,and check and clean,I have removed the slides ,and looking inside it looks immaculate,


more news soon,as it gets warmer

[Bryanj]

Well the first morris minor with indicators not trafficators flashed the stop bulb so i guess it must be legal

While it is chilly,and windy I am sitting and planning ahead,

The tank has rust inside,

Looks intact, but I would like to remove/neutralise it, any advice for   doing that?

Next I have ordered a wheel  rim,so  into the unknown, having a go at wheel building, all the spokes and nipples have been loosened and  checked, will be stripping the brakes and overhauling lubricating the cams etc,

Advice welcome

John, go to tricks and tips page 4 and look at wheel building the easy way mate, i wrote it years ago. Yours may only have 36 not 40 spokes but method is same.

I bought Julies wheel building jig so if you dont mind the travel cost you can borrow that but note i am away from about 10th April till 8th May
