moving along your vids here.... new springs there you go. hey just a bit of info on the engine.... it's a triumph motor in these things and crankshaft thrust washers are a weak spot. they tend to drop and wear out quickly with clutch depressed, like many ppl drive today - with clutch down at a red light or something. check some youtube vids on how to check for thrust washer wear, it only takes about two minutes to check with someone else in the car holding the clutch down - with engine off -for you to measure. if thrust washers are tight - burnouts will be even more fun lol.... check triumph spitfire thrust washer vids. cheers.

if you are referring to the seal that is directly under the lever arm... i believe they say you cant change it because its very hard to get the arm off the spline, as there is nothing to grab with a puller... i welded a lip around the bottom edge of mine and successfully used a gear puller to remove them

I noticed some yellow paint peeking out from under the caked-on oil/grease -- was the car yellow at one point? I see red and gray in the other videos. Asking because I have some yellow peeking out from under mine in similar spots, and my Midget was originally brown (now it's white).

When I remove all my interior panels the original car was yellow underneath

@@My_Little_Hobby Thanks, I think my Midget must have had a major frontend repair at some point in its adventurous life, using components from a yellow donor vehicle. There is even evidence that the yellow was painted brown to match the rest of the car, although it has worn away in several places at this point.

I didn't really give it long enough to see if it would have worked long-term as I bought a new shock anyway, but I mean for a few bucks it's worth a shot
