Answer is Yes to both questions. Obviously the pipe clips/flanges that are involved go between the bolt head and the steering rack (in one case), and between the stud nut and inlet manifold (in the

Moss part 296-680 is a $34 gasket set for the lower half of a 1275 cc You might like to avoid ordering this part. The timing cover gasket does not remotely fit. The pan gaskets do not fit (and, worse

The car is a 1275 cc (just checked the cylinder diameter during my recent re-bore). It came right out of a donor Midget, so the engine IS a 1275 cc that fits a Spridget and not a related British veh

I can confirm that Marine-Tex is a very, very strong bonding agent and filler. You mix it, same as Bondo. You can tap it. It is so hard that sanding it is a tough job. It's expensive, but not ultra-e

The A+ oil pan gasket does not fit. It comes close enough to either deceive you (fail to notice the misfit), or to tempt you to use it with a little fudging. The misfit is at the rear of the engine,

Easy for me to say, but how about dropping in a 1275 cc? You have probably invested as much in the 5 speed at this point as getting a used 1275. So, if you have to dump the tranny or the engine, per
