Where can I get a Boss-Kit so I can bolt
up a MOMO or similar wheel?
HKB Sports 2 (Brand) Japanese made , and very nice it looks too!
Use a 15/16 socket and I also turned my bosskit 180degrees to hide the HKB logo!)
Under the Repco sticker ( a Car parts
supplier in NZ and Aust) I saw BL-37B.
The Repco number is BK5150.
I translated the HKB
website through google and this is what I come up
with;
The first
letters is the car company, eg Honda is OH.
The BL is in this
case British Leyland I think?
The 37 is the
model = Mini-73-74,
and the B is the key for Boss kits in the wider range of
HKB products.
That's my take on it
anyway.
Zephyr Mkll/lll Repco boss kit-BK 5150
HKB Boss kit BMC Mini
73-74 BL37B
Hope this helps
others as the HKB kits are on Ebay so maybe a seller
could get one of those for you elsewhere?
Also Japanese
aftermarket shops import these kits too.
Here are numbers for Momo Mini kits:
GAC8491X 1969-71.
GAC8492X 1976-91.
GAC8493X 1991-96
(Sparco, Momo and Nardi
plus the HKB line are the same modern pattern on the steering wheel, however
early New Zealand steering wheel kits come in both a small 3 bolt pattern and a
multi pattern (Wild Cat) that is not interchangible
with the newer type mounting pattern. )
Moto-lita have a kit for Mkll's (which fit Mklll), part number B16H, they can be
found on the net in the UK. Moto-lita also have a Mini Mkl kit B1H and Mini
Mkll B1.
Auto Concepts in Melbourne Australia phone: 0395450044, have a kit as well for Zephyr/Zodiac Mklll's, part number BKL 106L, thanks to Alan Martin for
this tip.
At the moment we can confirm Mkll Zodiac is the same
as Mklll, thanks go to Tommy Hokholt.

Fuel
Flow Auto Cut Off
After designing a new fuel system for my car, I decided to install a safety/collision switch to automatically switch power off to the fuel pump in the event of a crash. Factory cars with electric fuel pumps mostly have these fitted from new, I consider the switch a must have compared to pumping a fuel tank dry into a fire in the case of a car accident .
These
switches can be found on most cars in wrecking yards, however I think an
important item like that is better brought new.
Fuelflow in New Zealand http://www.fuelflow.co.nz/index.htm
make a very well made collision switch (as well as fuel pumps), the switch is
easy to fit and reset able.
The above company do NOT sell
direct to the public, however Dave King
has them available at: Dking@appco.co.nz

I think I need stronger front brakes for
my MKlll, where can I get some?
First I would suggest Bendix XB pads in the
standard front callipers with a twin reservoir system and then if need be,
going onto larger vented disc’s (these will better match the car if it has had
the rear end changed over to a Ford 8 or 9 inch or similar differential).
The firm who has a kit for this front-end brake swap is:

They are based in Australia.

Can I run
unleaded in my early Ford?
If you only cover minor mileage annually, I would recommend just keeping
an eye on valve clearances as most valve recession happens under load or at
higher revs etc. I have run in the past in my own cars, the first 2 products
and they have prevented valve problems in my engines. These are used as upper
cylinder lubricants to help in cars converted to run on gas eg:
LPG and CNG as well as for cars running on unleaded. It is interesting to read
some of what they have to say on the unleaded issue, regarding lead free seats
etc.
