The Classic Marque

John,

If you look at Bjlp's picture and scroll down the pin has broken the lower hinge casting and that is why he needs a new hinge.

An Oldie but a Goodie - a stuck differential drain plug. Mine was mangled when I got the car and I have changed the diff oil a few times using a small electric pump and tubing. Works pretty well.

However I hate looking at that mangled 'plug under the differential and would really like to extract it. I have read all the previous threads I believe.

The head of the drain plug has be...

Be careful if trying to colour match. I initially sprayed the Frog interior in GN29 celly BRG from Jawels. Painting the ouside a few years later, I continued with the GN29 I had and ran low part way through, with the weather about to soon change, so ordered more in a hurry.

GN29 probably?..... same as mine
Dave

Please can anyone advise on what the likely correct British Racing Green (GN) body paint colour code would have been for an early January 1968 built Midget?
