What diff gears will swap into a Bugeye housing? None of the new gears that Moss have will. 

Thanks,

If my memory is any good, all years Sprite and Midget, Morris Minor and
Metropolitan pumpkins will interchange. The early spridgets had 4:22 gears,
middle years had 3:90, and the 78 and up had 3:70. The Morris Minor had
5:38 (or 4:55, I don't quite recall) and the Metro had 4:22.

I believe the Moss info is a little misleading.  Later differentials will fit the Bugeye axle with no problem.  What Moss is talking about is that the later gearsets will not fit in the original Bugeye differential housing, not the axle housing.  Just swap the entire pumpkin and you're good.  I just installed a 3.7 diff in a Bugeye axle a few days ago.  :-)

Rick has the correct answer.  The later pumpkin will fit in the housing
just fine.

Thanks. Now I understand. I was confusing diff housing with axle housing.

I guess it's been a while since I said there are books with this stuff in!
 + You have to watch you don't end with no filler on the pumpkin and no
filler on the axle casing.

Well this is intriguing. A factory works race engine from 1966 offered for sale. Supposedly NOS and never run. Has a crossflow head with mechanical fuel injection and lots of other special bits. Wonder if VSCDA would let me run it in my Sprite?

Hi Ed,

The 3.7 was used in the '78 and '79 model Midgets and maybe a few '77's.

According to Horler, everything after VIN 150000. August 1977 and beyond
had the 3.73:1 differential.
There were a number of other changes at the same time, but I don't remember
what they were.
If you find a donor, get the axle shafts, too. The best stock shafts were
from 1970 on, I believe. Bugeye axles were the worst. Also make sure the
1500 accelerator pedals do not get thrown away as well as the radiator
shroud. The 1500 shroud fits a 1275 just fine, but it is enough shorter to
move the radiator a little further from the engine. Not a good thing if you
are using the plastic engine-driven fan, but it IS a good thing if you want
to slip an electric fan between the radiator and the engine.

SO the weather today was warm enough I got a chance to finally check the brake lights. When I jumped the terminal of the 4 way brake switch they lit up. So this means the switch failed correct?  Anything I should know about swapping the switch like who to avoid buying from and will I need to bleed the brakes again once i'm done and how much brakefluid will leak out during the swap?
Thanks,

Good luck unscrewing the switch.? After 50 to 60 years they are corroded solid.? Maybe you'll be lucky, but not much more to buy the fitting and the switch.? Besides it gives you an excuse to bleed the brakes to replace the brake fluid if you have not done it in a few years.Mike MacLean

Greetings Spridgeteers,

I have (three) 13 x 5 American Libre aluminum wheels available for sale. The fourth one has a couple minute hairline cracks in it so I will not sell that one.

If interested please contact me directly.

I have a dipstick curiosity.I think every 1275 I remember had a plastic tube stuck into the block which the dipstick went into.? The 1275 I have here has a brass piece ( it falls out , but it is machined to fit into the block) instead of the plastic tube and someone changed the marks on the dipstick.??I can eventualy mark a dipstick with proper marks once I have an assembled motor with the right amount of oil in the sump.??If the brass piece I have is a correct piece from a year I'm not familiar with .. Ok I will use it.? But I can not trust the dipstick to be correct.So, if anyone has one of these types in their 1275 could you please send me the measurement from the step on the dipstick ( where it stops going into the brass tube) down to the scribed " full" mark?? I would appreciate this before I go through cleaning up what I have and fabricating a hold down to retain it at speed.??Thank you!ChuckI really am going to finish this car!( at times I thought it was going to finish me!)?Sent from my LG Mobile

Post your question and some photos on sebringsprite.com in the feedback
section, which will probably get posted on the website for comments and
help from people who regularly visit the site.  Possibly John Sprinzel will
see it and comment.
You can also post it on the Sebring Sprite Face Book page for feedback.  JS
also comments there.

My first concern is figuring out what I need to use for a proper measuring device and have it reasonably correct in full or "OMG it reads NOTHING".??For getting a dipstick to seal , I've had great success with valve stem "umbrella type" seals to positively create a seal that is reasonable between a dipstick and the tube.? ?Also going back to racing on hand chiseled stone slicks , a positive retention using a spring has been very helpful.? ?A super duper custom set up would be a version of a GM flip to lock in the tube , automatic trans dipstick.? Push dipstick into the tube , and flip the lock on the end of the stick and it expands the seal inside the tube.? ?Hmm I might just attempt that...and a spring type retainer in case crankcase pressure could conspire to blow the dipstick out.? ?Just mindless ramblings...ChuckIgnore that man behind the curtain....Sent from my LG Mobile

In an earlier post to another list (MGs) I told how my tach in my 69 GT would die when the headlights were turned on.? This is for you guys with later electrical tachs or MGs.? Someone mentioned that the tach was looking for a ground through the light wiring for the instrument.? That turned out to be true, somewhat.?

Subject: [Spridgets] ARP Flywheel bolt application
Message-ID: <CAMYfP3kK76bGL57RNAEaso6NK-gm9jxo9UFPo0CXX+NpWoNzwg@mail.gmail.com>

A question for the generalists and the racers:
If you were to put ARP flywheel bolts onto your engine, and given that they
supply their own "special sauce" to put onto the bolts to achieve specified
torque values, and that all of your previous experience with flywheel bolts
was to apply Loctite to them.
Would You:
A) Use the Special Sauce only
B) Use Loctite
or C) use Special sauce (just enough) and then use Loctite between the head
of the bolts and the flywheel face?
What do Racers Do?
What would you do?
Enquiring Minds and all of that...;?}

I use Loctite, but then I don't have ARP flywheel bolts.

The wire from the brake switch should be a dedicated wire only running from the warning light to the plug (switch) at the alleged "proportioning valve" looking thingy.??The brake "warning " light has power all the time and the "switch (at the valve assembly)" is the lights ground.? If you have created an accidental ground somewhere between the brake warning light , the light will illuminate even if it is not grounding at the brake valve assembly.??Ok?? Now your horn is somehow grounding your brake warning light ground circut.? So the wires from the stalk go to a multi pin molded plug both on the switch wires and in the dash harness.Lucas horns are hot all the time and they activate by the stalk completing? the ground circut to make the horn " beep".? The horns should be beeping away if you are grounding the brake test light through the horn ground circut.? Right now if my guess is right the horn fuse is either dirty and not making contact or the fuse is blown.??Oh goodness why do I know ANY of this stuff....?Just for fun, I completely unwrapped the whole wire harness for the Midget.? I removed all the brake warning light, heater blower, reverse light, door light , trunk light and interior light? 4 way emergency , radio , wiper , all 4 side marker and seat belt warning stuff.? ?I wanted a dedicated headlight , brake light , park light , turn signal and horn harness.? ?I added the ignition and did use the fuel pump circut to the cars rear.? I wanted a lightest harness and still have enough functioning features to drive the car on a city street and brake lights required for racing applications.?It took 4 turn signal & 1 wiper ( windshield washer switch became my horn contact) switch to make a switch with high & low beams , turn signal , headlight "dip" and horn in 1 switch that plugged into the Midget harness I had.ChuckCut , solder & heat shrink tubing away!!!!Sent from my LG Mobile------ Original message------From: Michael MacLean via SpridgetsDate: Thu, Jan 16, 2020 2:17 PMTo: Spridgets via Spridgets;Cc: Subject:[Spridgets] Not Spridget, but RelevantIn an earlier post to another list (MGs) I told how my tach in my 69 GT would

Actually just looked - the ARP bolts specify Loctite 242 on threads and their goop under the head as well, very specific instructions.

The best place to visit for Speedwell information, in my opinion, is www.mk1-performance-conversions.co.uk 
You will find vast amounts of information on 1960's A series tuning...it is a Mini site, but much of the information relates to the Sprite.  Under the banner '60's Tuning' there is a bit of a retrospect and in the 'Speedwell Archive' all sorts of tuning gear.  At the bottom of that page is a description of the various badges, and how to spot a fake.

That?s an easy one!

Re-label stalk switch ?Brake lights? and learn to yell really loud for the ?horn?.

You young guys overthink this stuff.  ;-)

Someone mentioned that the tach was looking for a ground through the light wiring for the instrument.  That turned out to be true, somewhat.  To test this I pulled the instrument to inspect the wiring and found what you see in the picture.  One arrow points to the ground connection on the back of the case and the other arrow points to a common ground just floating around behind the instrument.  For an experiment I slipped the ground wire connector over the threaded mouting stud of the case back and shoved the tach back into place temporarily to find out about the missing ground theory.  It worked!  You didn't think it was going to be that easy did you?  The light had not illuminated the instrument before either, so after scraping and sanding the bulb hlder and the tube fitting on the back of the tach that the bulb shoves into, the light worked too, but wait there's more!  After this hollow victory I had to use the horn on the test drive.  Now the horn does not work, but when I push on the steering wheel stalk to activate the horn, the brake warning light comes on.  I just love electrical problems.  Not in my element here.  Any ideas?

I work on the principle that ARP know more than I do so if they say use
their lubricant to make sure the bolt is fastened to the correct torque
(according to a torque wrench that's correctly calibrated, (at sea level??)
that's what I do.  I think the only bolts that get loctited on my Sprite
are the UNC ones that fasten to an alloy adaptor for the big brake disc
conversion.  I like to think the loctite is a seal between dissimilar
metals and also the fastening torque cannot be as high as I would like it
to be so that's actually my first reason for using it.

Anyone have a modified oil pan on their car or on a shelf ( waiting for that "some day" project) either intact and ready to bolt on or damaged and a "show & tell " war story piece?PLEASE SEND ME A PICTURE OR 3 OF IT.Also running it with or without a scrapper .Recently I have become deeply involved in reconstruction of a well loved deep ( and wide!) sump pan.? ? It's manufacturer is not known but suspected to have been Winners Circle.??Before I assume anything , if anyone has some viable input , I am all ears on modified oil pickup tubes and windage trays and baffles , with or without hinged trap doors.BTW the pan i have has a rectangular ( almost square) sump and is very nicely tig welded! Not with angled front corners like the current Spridget Mania competition oil pan.Any input is welcomed!Thank you!ChuckMaking progress....little by little!The 1500cc fan shroud with electric cooling fan are complete and has been slid in place to confirm fitment.? ?Battery master , "TOW" hook and front "SCCA" decals were applied and it's starting to look like a race car( like flared fenders and the rollbar were not enough?) ...locations for the SCCA required side decals has yet to be determined.? ?????Sent from my LG Mobile

I have the cover wire wheel'd but there are a bunch of areas that id like to get dowm to clean metal.? ?I have a blast cabnet & use glass beads , I'd love to just blast it!? My concerns are how to make certain I DO NOT get any media into the breather element .Has anyone come up with a solution?? ?I'm certain anyone with a 1098 has encountered this too?? I'm considering using cap plugs and duct taping the caps to make a secondary seal to keep media out of the breather.??Working on cleaning and preparing all the ancillary bits for the Midgets 1275.??Presently up to my ears in metal filings porting a head.? Looking forward to the post carbide rotary file part right now!Thank EVERYONE!ChuckSent from my LG Mobile
