MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Tining cover

Anyone have a good 1275 timing cover?
Richard Perry

Richard, you may be after "original" but an alternative is one from a classic mini, which has the advantage of having the timing marks on the top, where you can see them! All you then need to do is remark the crank pulley.

many thanks but I need the midget one with the chimney for breathing so don't think they do that one

Plus add a catch tank for the oil mist

I though i had a leaking timing cover, took along time, to figure out, but it was a warped front engine plate was warpped really bad... thing leaked oil like a sieve untill i figured it out

Bit rusty, but do-able.

Richard, I have a timing cover, I should have grabbed a picture, but it doesn't have any timing 'teeth' on it. . . not sure why, it was in a bag of other long forgotten about bits. . . .let me know if this is any use to you
P Bentley

it doesn't matter if no timing teeth - can you email a pic to frogeye3@hotmail.co.uk

many thanks

Richard
