New Product at Britcarfixes! Oil Pan Reinforcement Plate for 1275 Spridgets

Made of 3/16" steel, this reinforcing plate set, along with the grade 8 hardware, provides even pressure along the entire sides of the oil pan on your Spridget, Morris Minor, original Mini, and any other BMC/Leyland/Rover series A engine with 1275 engine. Includes proper length grade 8 bolts, washers, and lock washers.

It eliminates the uneven pressure on the gasket between the holes for the mounting bolts. It also helps tighten the end seals more than a stock pan alone.

Often the oil pan, made of very thin sheet metal, gets distorted when the attaching bolts are over-tightened, creating gaps which leak oil. Solve that problem forever.

New Product from Britcarfixes! Crankcase
Breather for MGB, Spridget, Spitfire

On almost every online forum discussion about British cars leaking engine oil in various places, mention is made of high pressure in the crankcase as being a major cause. Whether because of piston ring blowby or clogged or inadequate emissions or vents, most of the comment say lessening the pressure in the crankcase will help the situation.

Britcarfixes is offering a crankcase breather for MGB’s, Spridgets, and some Spitfires. It offers direct exit of pressure from the crankcase itself.
