Morris Minor Owners Club

JLH minors does minilites style wheels at 4pcd, 5.5" wide, 14" & 15" dia at around £90 inc vat. To get the gearing up I want using wheel + tyre I'd have to use something like 185/80R15 at the rear which can be got, but I don't think is feasible unless I change ride height of the c...

Thanks for that, looks promising. Yes I thought skimmed too. It's had a bit of life somewhere already. Going to clean it up proper now as it's collected some fine grit in it's travels. I was planning to put it on a 1098 IF that engine come through a thorough examination...but it could go on 948...I'...

Got hold of one these (fairly scarce) heads, looks in reasonable fettle, somebody's put in slightly bigger inlet valves but I understand this was common BITD, I've put a vern. calliper on it and I'm getting a thickness of (mm) 68.84 68.80 68.80 68.52 68.70 69.22 average 68.81 (2.71) depth of rocker ...

Good idea...think I'll go silicone fluid too, got to make the most of not having ABS

in case anyone is interested john brown does 15" and 14" minilites but they're over a hundred each. That's a lot. A 15 on the rear and a 14 on the front might look work quite well? A least for posing purposes :) johnbrownwheels.com/wheel-finder/morris/minor1000/208/109 Otherwise I think it...

So possible...but like most things, needs a proper looking into. thanks

Might not be economic or even feasible but as 3.9 diffs become steadily rarer and/or worn out (and in some cases recently, badly made!), can carefully chosen aftermarket or custom 15" wheels on the rear we used to gear up the transmission on a 4.2 mildly tuned-up MM? Obs. welcome...

Thank you for feedback. Like the grease-nipple idea.

Starting to prepare to put an ESM steel hub ford disc brake kit on a 1957 2 door (note to self: get a tub of lithium grease pronto). Some good instructions came with it (when I did the marina version quite a few years ago they weren't so detailed, and I remember having to source the calipers). Anybo...
