Morris Minor Owners Club

I just read in the club mag that he's had an unexpected early retirement due to health issues. :( I've used him a few times over the years (although not for a decade!) and so had family members, and his work was always good. Added to that, I've seen many examples of his welding on restored cars and ...

And don't forget to send a copy of the letter to the dodgy trader to the MMOC as well - maybe if some of their overpriced bodge jobs end up with court appearances, it might raise a lot of publicity.

Is it me or has that Beetle rear wheel steering?

it can also drive itself and has a strange sense of humour...

I've sent you a list of examples by PM as requested.

Personally I do not like advertising of any sort on this forum,

Wow - is that change of heart including no more posting of your own plugs? or double standards?

Nice Pics Jay - despite the weather

Lee - back to your original post, I think your efforts are great, and it's nice to see the club promoting all cars, not just standard ones.
I may eventually post regarding a few of my custom projects but for now most of them are just in my head!

Why not just post the picture in response to the nice bloke who asked a question? I guess you have the picture if it's in your book.

0.8 oftem seems to work a LOT better on DIY welding sets.
In theory the 0.6mm should givce more control but, unless you have a professional welding set, it might just give more wire feed hassles.

please bare with me and I look forward to getting to know you guys. I'd rather 'bear' with you! :o Sills and floors are all fixable, but don't underestimate it - thats probably well over a hundred hours for a novice. I thoroughly recommend using a car roller - not only does it make the job quicker ...

If I'd lost a finger - I think I'd have gone back to bed as well!! ;-)

One method involves a large spanner (or I admit to using Stillsons) fitted on the starter dog - and resting against the nearside chassis member - then you stab the starter motor Have used the starter motor a few times and it's always worked -I managed to get this off with big molegrips but a spanne...

Some people like to restore basket cases, some like to turn a near-perfect car into a concours car, some like standard, some like modified. My recommendation is to do whatever you want as there'll always be someone who doesn't like it. Satisfy your own passion not someone else's!! The future of the ...

any recommends for the roll apart from going slower or going in a straight line

stiffer front torsion bars.

3.7:1 I think they were from Riley 1.5
the MG 1275 had 3.9 diff

(only from memory, but it gives you something for Google so you can confirm that)

my first guess would be the flasher unit, however there's a slim change that you have a voltage regul;ator problem - you'd need a volt meter to be sure but if the regulator wasn't regulating properly you would get high voltage. If the voltage across the battery rises much above 14.5 when you rev hig...

there are 2 screws underneath - undo these, unclip the wires in the boot. That's about it.

Fit the new ones in the same way and re-connect the wires in the boot. Red gos to red, black goes to balck etc...

ps - undoing the screws is going to be painful. I hope the replacements came with fresh screws

edge which wears indicates too much toe-in or toe-out but I don't know which is which, stand by for the answers to pour in!! If they are worn on the inside, there is too much toe out. If they are worn on the outside there is too much toe in. As for 'the tracking being out on one wheel' that is a mi...

Just try undoing the other end of the pipe instead - if that works then it doesn't matter if the pipe rotates at the cylinder end as it will be free to do so. Re-using the steel pipes isn't the best idea anyway as the fittings will be pretty old and likely to be a bit messed up - I do re-use them if...

NO - it's only designed for idling - anything more and it will blow apart! You can check running mixture from the plug colours. I bought one many years ago - the instructions stated that it could be used also at higher revs, not just tickover, however in reality it is useless as this is not going t...
