Hi thanks for watching. Midget was going great last time she drove but I need to get back into the garage and get back into some competition. Unfortunately life took over a bit and my PC had a disastrous crash and I lost a lot of data. Hope to get some more updates soon.
Great video. I recently upgraded my front suspension with a kit that adds an extra arm at the top for more stability and better handling. One of the best upgrades i've made so far.
Thanks for watching Mark and I’m glad you liked the video 😄. I’ve seen your upgrade on a few of the racing Midgets. The Frontline arms have always been on our car and have the advantage of improving the camber over the standard arms. Unfortunately they were old and worn out. Love seeing the Midget on your channel BTW
Good info and tips. Sounds like it might be easier for me to just assume, and order the pins when I order the other parts so if they stick to the tube, I can just cut the pin off? And then to grease the heck out of it putting it all back as you said. This is a next-winter project, so another 5 months before I give it a whirl. I have the original lever arm shocks, so slightly different setup, but the same idea.
Thanks for watching and commenting . The pins are a reasonably cheap item and certainly worth replacing given the condition ours were in. Hope yours goes well when the time comes.
Hi Lee, thanks. Yes I'm hoping to get more videos out but my desktop computer had a melt-down (Blue screen of death) and I'm using a laptop to re-do what I had. Thanks for your support and patience.
Thanks Jerry, sorry to hear about the computer, hope it gets sorted. Look forward to the new vids. Perhaps you could do a history segment on how you come to own your 70's Midget and why it ended (apparently) laid-up in the garage for a time. I have issues starting mine whenever it's stood for anything longer than a week, fuel pump struggles to get fuel from tank to carbs, perhaps you could do an episode related to fuel pump, etc? Mine's a 1978 model so differs from yours but would still be good to see. Also handbrake cable replacement/adjustment, etc, etc. Thanks.
Lee, I'm hoping to be doing an update video shortly on what has been going on since the last video. I was thinking about some history on 'Midge' as part of a 'trailer' for the channel. However I'm incredibly busy with my day job (not a mechanic) at the moment; again something I was planning to put into a trailer.
Welcome back Jerry. It's never easy.
Thanks, sorry I’ve been away for so long! I’ve got a competition coming up so I MUST get Midge put back together this weekend!
Great to see real world mechanic-ing rusty bits, bent bits etc., well done.
Thanks for watching 😁
Hello Jerry, how's the midget going just found your channel and enjoying the mg videos. Looking to buy a mk3 myself so very interesting.
