If you are talking the normal snaps (not Tenax or Lift-the-Dot), go to a boat place. I have found that the snaps you get at a fabric store fit beautifully, but do not have the tenacious grip of the o

True. And I have no idea what that "mechanic" was thinking. Any of us who cannot produce full motion on a vacuum advance cannister should start shopping around for gravesites.

Ahh, the thing is that it will fit the Mini or the MG Metro, both of which are transverse engines. The angle will be wrong for your car. I believe that APT indicate that the Mini is a 30-degree manif

Yes, I know about Frank's Geo Metro radiator for the Bugeye, but has anyone come up with a good modern radiator for the square-body Spridgets? My crossflow is adequate for most days, but it does not

Precisely! It would double the value and eliminate the cost all in one fell swoop. As it is, $1500 is a little steep for a 3.73:1 diff, a radiator shroud and an accelerator pedal.

the answer is to put a 12-volt battery in. A ballast resistor ahead of the coil and replace the bulbs as they slowly give up the ghost. In the meantime you will have the brightest 6-volt bulbs aroun

Ahh, but that's where you are wrong, Dan. You would be surprised at how long a 6-volt bulb will last in a 12-volt car. Plus, why in the world would you NOT replace it with a 12-volt bulb (yes, it wi
