Nice work. 👍🏻

Hi David are you going to put chrome bumpers on or leave it debumpered

Hello, I would like to ask for your opinion: I tried this test on 452 clutch actuator and when i connect 12V to the pins, it extend, when i replace the battery polarity, it will retract but when i disconnect the battery, it will extend again itself (without voltage). Is this wrong? And also only after few tests, its very very hot (you cant hold your hand on the motor housing). Thanks for your help,

Coming on nicely Boz! 😎

Lookin' good David. 😎👍

Takes me back! 😊

Thank you Mr Bosworth for your very informative video. We've got a 2011 Autotrail Scout, had it since 2016 and covered over 40,000 miles. Had the engine oil and filter changed every year but then it occurred to me that I hadn't changed the gearbox oil. Thanks for your help, it's much appreciated. 👍👏☺️

Really enjoying watching your work. I’m doing a similar mg midget project at the moment.

i like all old British cars 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🚗🚗

Go David! Greetings from California

This used to be common knowledge but half the young lads now don't know what a distributor is. I have a wooden file handle with a bolt in it for this job.

Did the same on mine and cut down the bumper mounts and then capped them off

I got myself a 77 Midget 1500 back in december and am on a similar voyage of discovery. Finding the videos quite helpful. Yours looks in a better condition so far

Really cannot wait to watch your progress week by week and month by month. Hopefully you should have all these items done before winter, Lets look at more as there is certainly more to come, cheers from a real car nut.

These videos are great. It’s letting me learn about my 76 without having to pull it apart myself! Keep it up!

Those welds make me feel better about my welding.

Are you on instagram

Maybe leave the bumper raised pressings in place just in case you decide to refit the bumper. You could always fabricate two stainless steel trim pieces that utilise the original holes.

David, I am very much enjoying your videos! I wish I had seen them and known about you 20 years ago when I had to sort out my gearbox for a Triumph Vitesse mk2. I don't have a classic car at the moment but I am expanding my knowledge. You are a great teacher. Many thanks for posting these videos. ❤👍🙂

Welcome to the club David! I’ve finally got the gearbox installed and it’s running well……. At the moment, hopefully have some nice weather soon?

Thanks Dabiv, great video! pls can you help me sending the part number for the kit. I would like to buy it by ebay for my Riley 1,5l 1947. Regards from Argentina

Thank you Sir, an extremely helpful and informative video, much appreciated 👍👍👍

So precious!

Thank you so much for this video! I tried two types of cork, switched to felt and eventually found the teflon you mentioned (Moss had it the whole time) and FINALLY my H4 jets are not seeping fuel. Seems the cork seals even in the Burlen kits - with new jets/bearings - is no guarantee.

My staffird does this and i just yell Spin! Spin! Spin!

Hey David, I’ve been rebuilding my gearbox and your videos have been a life saver! I’ve currently got mine assembled but am running into a problem. Gears 1-4 shift flawlessly, but when I engage reverse, the whole shaft locks up. I’m using a 17 tooth reverse idler because that’s what my gearbox originally used, but my lay shaft gear is from a gearbox that was using a 21 tooth idler, could this be my problem?? Thanks for all your videos, cheers

They definitely have clown in their DNA!❤

Thanks for that detailed vid. I have a 2006 2.8JTD van which I've just converted and I presume the route to the location of the breather cap will be the same as yours? I hope 👍👍

Hi David, Your a hero!!! I have been looking for a Vid to explain the timing on a 450 for over a year now. I built one engine and got the timing right by luck rather than judgment with probing the No 1 cylinder and guessing really. Your second Vid was a great help too with the sprockets and very well explained. Got one engine apart and ready for assembly and will walk into the workshop tomorrow a lot more confident thanks for to your help. Big Thanks Matty

i was getting sporadic times when it wouldn't go into gear. i took it off, mine has also the rivets, so put grease inside. put it back in. now i saw where the marks were when it came out, and and i used a reverse clamp to push it so it would line up... did you have to do that also or just put it in, and put the screws back in? also the plastic was really brittle and the tabs snapped of... and like a dummy i didn't mark which way it went in - i may have put it in backwards. also saw a video where a guy had software so the car would 'relearn' the clutch?? if 1 and 6 are the power, what are the colour of the wires going IN to those please?

👍💋💋❤️💋💋👍

very good and great video

Great to see a Conventional gearbox strip down again,thanks .

Handy,thanks for uploading

Great video which I watched 3 times I enjoyed it so much, each time noticing something new. Fantastic job on the rebuild, everything so clean and tidy with an attention to detail, even the dipstick has a lick of paint, oh yes, and sounding sweet as a nut to me.

Hello David- Thanks for you videos they are very helpful. I know this video is over a year old but I thought I would ask anyway. Starting at about 2:45, you are taking apart the gear/synchro and then putting it back together. How did you know the syncho did not get flipped when you put it back together? The synchro is not symmetric, and you can install it backwards if you are not paying attention. - Phil

Thank you very much. I’m in the process of rebuilding my Morris Minor 1000

Very helpful mate thank you 😊

!SUPER DOG!

9/16? Are you sure?

We have rebuilt a bunch of these ourselves and on the 6/99 models as well. Had some sleeved since the pits were so bad in the bore.

Bundle of joy

Humans do the unwinding thing after a long day different than bull terriers.

The crank shafts have a radius on the shafts that come out of them to prevent the shaft from breaking under stress. Machined parts should have a nice radius and bolt holes should have a small countersink to prevent cracking. You can see that the inner sprocket has a countersink on the inside to fit over the radius. High grade bolts put a small radius where the threads end and under the head to make them resistant to breaking.

He wants that you jump to him ore get noises🤣🤣🩷

Thank you for these videos. No single 1500 gearbox playlist has all the information i needed to reassemble my gearbox but youve filled in most of the gaps for me.

My old dad brought one new . DNT 133C in a very dark green looked almost black . He kept it right up to his death in 1988 and it was absolutely immaculate. I wonder if it survived because it was such a perfectly kept car .

😂🥰👏👏👏
