Hi All, I have 3 wiper motors that I would like to check and see if they work. Unfortunately I don't have a wiring diagram. Obviously the earth goes to the tag on the body of the motor but what about the other 2 terminals? Attaching a good battery to each terminal in turn has no affect (on all 3 mot...

Thanks for that Steve.

Someone on another forum has suggested 1/2'' BSF

Can anyone confirm which please?

Cheers

Hi All,

I'm about to re-fit the rear suspension to the Pick-up chassis.
I need to clean up the threads on the spring mounting pins (the pins welded to the sides of the chassis).

Does anyone know what size thread these are?

Any help much appreciated.

Ta!

White 2-door saloon parked up on Southwold sea-front yesterday - may belong to a shop worker? White 'C' reg.Traveller in Southwold High Street this morning. Missing it's rear bumper, 'original' paint. Plus, a few days ago parked at the Southwold Harbour. A white convertible in good condition. Appare...

David,
The bundle of wires there;- white/red, brown/blue and the double white all go to the back of the ignition switch.
The white/red is the starter wire, trace it back to the starter solenoid!

Thanks!

I didn't want to start welding without knowing for sure.

Hi All, A slightly strange question for a sunday morning. :D Is the hand-brake lever in a 2 door saloon the same distance away from the front of the car as in a 4 door saloon? My thinking is that the doors are longer on a 2 door so assuming the front seats have more leg-room the hand-brake might be ...

It was a total shock............

Thanks!

Hi All,

For the first time ever, I will be going to the National on saturday AND sunday.

So, usual question, who else is going?

Have a safe journey everyone.

See you there!

I've just gone with RH Specialist Insurance. They use the same insurance company as before but are at least a third cheaper...... :evil: :evil: The multi car policy means I will save 3/4 the cost on my convertible when that comes up for renewal PLUS I no longer need the RAC cover either........ Unli...

Hi All,

Has anyone done away (or not replaced!) the rain gutters above the front doors?

Mine had rusted away so I took the remains off ready to buy some more.

Is it crucial to put them back on?
I could just weld the edge up and leave it like that.

Thoughts please.

Cheers

Hi All, My V8 Pick-up is almost done :D so I'm looking at insuring it along with the V8 convertible. My current insurer won't give me a 2 car custom policy and want to charge me full price for EACH car!!! :evil: I can't drive both at once now can I................... Can anyone recommend a more 'Cus...

Hi All, Just going through the electrics on the Pick-up after a 6 year rebuild. I'm glad to say no real issues, but one thing has become obvious. Under load the fuse connections at the fuse-box are breaking down. Looks like the terminals are dry and lightly corroded. A change of fuses helped but the...

Hi again,

I've just done some paint touch-up on the Pick-up using spray cans from ESM. The finish was ok but a top-coat of lacquer (Halfords) really made it shine.

Good luck!

Thanks Lou but thats an old pic! About 5 years I guess.

Recently looked like this (but now painted);-[frame][/frame]

BTW - Sorry to the op for the hijack!

Might be wrong, but that colour looks very similar to my Pick-up and that is Teal Blue.[frame][/frame]

Sorry, best outdoor pic I could find!

There are some over-sized rear wings on e-bay if anyone's interested: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MORRIS-MINOR-FRONT-OVERSIZE-REAR-WINGS-HOTROD-CUSTOM-/170647274832?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item27bb5ec550 Just been out to check my car is still there......................... :lol: :lo...

Im using standard fibreglass wings but cut slightly higher and fitted with 3 inch JDM style extensions. [frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1305832416_8993 [/frame] Yep, just put those on mine but they don't look right (to me anyhow) as they are.[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=130...

Hi All, Another MOT successfully passed yesterday and I'm ashamed to say the first run out since.......ermmmm......september :oops: Anyhow, I've started having tyre to wing clearance issues as the suspension has settled. I have 4 inch over-size wings on the rear and 2 inch flares on the front and It...
