Morris Minor Owners Club

hi
can anybody recommend a good welder in somerset for some works to my van?
thanks in advance.

i use my travaller everyday usually about 10miles unless its sunny in which-case i take the saab convertible. the trav is in pretty shabby visual condition but the mechanicals are well serviced, she almost always manages to get me and the dogs to and from the beach, rain or shine.

good evening all I'm in the process of restoring my van and i'm just thinking about the diff, i'm not to sure what all the numbers mean :-? am i right in thinking that the vans had a lower diff ratio for pootaling around town? i'm going to be doing the odd motorway trip and id like to put a higher r...

Isn't it illegal to drive with headphones while driving?

it's not illegal as such but if you get a dodgy copper they could do you with driving without due care. (i know from experiance )

Mine's OK - looks like there may have been a 'glitch' at the printers. Contact the club office and I'm sure they'll send you another copy.

you want to keep hold of that, might be worth something someday.

imho if you like to restore and then sell on later a factory convertable would be good as they usualy fetch a premium in the summer. good luck

i'll take a guess at £6750, anyone else?

Ok, thanks for your help

ok thanks. just to be clear no1 is the one closest to the grill?

hi
i need to check the tappets on my trav, but im not sure how to do it. i understand the feeler gauge part but im not sure what the "9 rule" is.
thanks

ok thanks it sounded a bit dodgey to me, just got me curious.

hi
i have been hearing that there are morris minors being built from scratch in india. i was wondering if this is true and how much would they cost? does anyone have any info?
much appreciated.

hi i was taking some scrap to jhonstons metals in bridgewater and noticed they had a series II two door just laying around the shell was roten but all the parts were there and it had a nice red interior. did not ask if it was for sale but i suspect it would be.
good luck

Our library close down two months ago due to budget cuts :/ I think I've made a decision she's going to be black pearl with orange details. Unless anyone else can think of a better colour sceam?

could not work out the pic but this colour is remarkably similar

it neither of those colours its more marine green. ill see if i can get a pic up.

hi im currently restoring a van and im not to fond of the origional colour (my father describes it as sick green) and i was wondering what i should do. will it affect the value if its not the factory colour but still an origional one such as good old trafalgar blue? or if its not the factory colour ...

Right I have done the timming and it works!!:) thanks for your help everyone

Thanks John I'll have a go at 11 when I get back and see how it goes.

After reading it again it occurred to me that the new one has an electric thingy instead of points. ?!
