Morris Minor Owners Club

It's not a calibrated instrument, it's for indication only. Rootes had the most accurate gauges marked in litres and gallons.

I used a mixture of wood glue and fine sawdust but this eventually cracks as the timbers shrink and swell. What is the best wood filler to use to press into the joints?

What is the right way to remove the Traveller door handle and lock?

That's right, smoke grey is to all intents and purposes blue, but with all the exhaust smoke and tobacco smoke around in those days that's probably how the colour got its name.

If you place your hand behind the fan with the engine running you will feel the airflow. I think the effect on power by removing the fan is more psychological than noticeable. Some cars develop fan roar at high RPM.

With the 1000 tank at 6.5 gallons, for practical purposes let's say you have 6 gallons, which at 35 mpg gives a range of 210 miles, some cars will do even better than this. A Series II might be even more economical so the smaller tank corresponds with that. There used to be thousands more filling st...

I ran without fan on my Series II and it was fine, I haven't bothered removing it from my current 1000 and doubt I will. It's only a 2-blader so not exactly critical equipment unlike some cars with 6 or 8 blade fans you'd be foolish to remove.

OK will do.

Thank you

Certainly ———are you in a position to collect?

Thank you yes I am but depending on where you are may take me a few weeks before I am in the area. I recollect you are in the south?

This would do nicely for my 5.90 tyre, may I take it please?

Please may I?

No, not really. You won't be able to turn it fast and long enough to move the oil to the top. But you could turn it over once or twice to see how it feels.

Just make sure your valve clearances are correct before submitting it for tuning.

Better off sticking with good points and condenser, which is NOT a service item. Ask those guys in NASCAR with $2,000,000 prize money what they use. One missed spark and they're out.

I would be willing to do this for you if you don't get anywhere. I am near J21 M62.

Lockheed are marked with their trademark double triangle cast into the body.

Thank you. When I am next on the road there I will make contact.

May I take up your kind offer please?

You don't have to blow anything off a Mini, it falls off first.

It's extremely rare a continually used fuel tank rusts from the inside out. The filling station where you get your petrol from has big underground tanks which aren't always full... and there is a permissible water content.
