    Super Minx Convertable

    Nice original…I wonder if that is the original paint…looks like a good price, but I don't know much about the value of hillman cars.

    convertible top questions????

    Yeah Mike, I replaced my straps because they would tear easily, probably a little stronger than a wet paper sack…I used some rubber flooring material from home depot (cut to the same dimensions) that on the underside resembled the straps…it looks good.

    '67 in Wisconsin

    Yeah this car looks pretty good but the fact that they only acknowledge the mechanical condition is worrisome…ask about the rust…if it is solid, that car looks like a decent buy.

    Ok guys...I have been looking into the source of my leak...there seems to be gas on the back side of my back carb...so I am thinking the gas is leaking through the float chamber gasket...The PO told me he had rebuilt both carbs and there are remnants of a rebuild kit, so I tend to believe him. I...

    convertible top questions????

    Zenith Stromberg Carb leaking...

    I think i am getting confused on what could be leaking...are we talking about the larger outer nut on the bottom of the carb because that is what I am talking about. Thanks, Eric

    Zenith Stromberg Carb leaking...

    So guys since I will be replacing the O-rings does that mean my adjustments will be out of whack afterwards? Or is there a way I can change the O-rings and keep it running the way it is? What I really need to do is learn more about these carbs...I am so used to Ford Autolites and Holleys...
