On the question of original parts etc etc, you ought to go to a MJini Cooper or MGB festival! All these lying toe-rags spouting about their car originality and all that originality guff. I mean.......... how can anyone say with a straight face that their 1969 LUCAS electrics are original? They wouldn't last until 1979 let alone 2009. They salvage newer guts, clean it up, modify it and stuff it back into the old casing - JUST like I did with the old alternator - yep, by LUCAS LUCAS = Loads of Unconnected Crap And Solder. Oh well..........., back to sorting out the defective Lucas petrol pump
