Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi, I'd be very interested if you find a sticker for King and Harper Cambridge too - my car came from there too
If I find anything I'll let you know too.

Happy New Year everyone
Great to have the site up and running again

I treated mine with wood preserver including the drainage holes. I then used Osmo oil. It has built-in UV protection and allows the wood to breathe. Water does 'bead' on it too

I'd like to extend my condolences please.
I purchased a few items from him and found
him to be friendly and informative.
I enjoyed reading his contributions to the site and community.

Hello,
Not meaning to disrupt this thread but where can you buy the rubber seals for the wind-up windows please?
There is also mention that they can be fitted with window etc. in situ?
Many kind thanks - and a Happy New Year
Sue

I can vouch for the rubber blocks minijojo refers to. I've got an original pair (?) - they allow 4 different height adjustments.
Perfect I'm 5'5" and I also have one of those aluminium extenders fitted to my clutch pedal (Paddy Hopkirk)

I think I'll give the contact cleaner a try - it certainly seems to make sense with the 'sweet spot' I've found. I certainly did keep the nut on when I was attempting removal (turned on a couple of turns) I'd read about 'incidents' of almost concussion. I'm not too sure how limber I am to brace my l...

I've played and now know when indicator left will work. I'm just going to use it as is - it's a little 'feature' - she's an old car and allowed them :wink: Many kind thanks for the helpful advice which I shall refer to if I have to remove the steering wheel down the road - hopefully no time soon Kin...

I believe I do need to remove the steering wheel as I'm trying to get to the indicator mechanism. My left hand indicators do come on but the indicators talk has to be in certain position for it to engage and work. No such problem with the right hand indicator. Undoing the indicator cover does not ap...

Ha ha Mike :lol: I have tried sweet talking and a few expletives too - reckon the latter made me feel a bit better :wink: I am confident - ok, desperately hopeful - that when I get the puller to fit all should be well. Rather pleased with my smaller socket blu-tacked to the lightly screwed nut and a...

I've had an idea which I think will work - offered up the freshly acquired 3 legged puller - too short. Have to return it tomorrow and get the bigger one whilst ensuring that the little feet will be the same size otherwise they won't fit. Hey ho, I'll see what tomorrow brings .... Lots of cups of te...

My dribbling oil seems to have had zero impact.
So, 3 leg puller - they seem to have a centre point which is what the 3 legs 'pull' against?
The centre is the little spring thing for my horn - do I have to have something that covers it but also sits on the nut?
Appreciate suggestions - many thanks
Sue

I have dropped oil onto the visible splines - hopefully soaking through nicely :D Block of timber - where should this be placed please? And then a smart whack with a heavier hammer on the wood? I'm mindful of the the wheel - the banjo style - which already has a couple of cracks where the wires meet...

Many thanks for the replies
My neighbour and I will tackle again - when the drizzle stops.
So close and yet so far ;-)
It probably hasn't been removed in many years ;-)

Hello everyone, I have read a lot of posts re: steering wheel removal. My neighbour has managed to remove the nut using a large socket - no hammer and chisel ;-) We have replaced it a couple of turns in case the steering wheel comes off suddenly. Steering wheel won't budge. We have hit it from below...

Well done
MOTs are nerve racking. Mine passed a few weeks ago - no advisories - thanks to an excellent mechanic as it had been SORNd for sometime but didn't need anything major doing. Next year it will be down to me - yikes!!

Many thanks for detail on the amount I need to buy - much appreciated
Sue

I am going to be stripping and treating my Traveller wood too. Approximately how much Osmo 410 oil might I need please?
I've got plenty of Cuprionol 5 star.
Cheers
Sue

Thank you .... Sounds positive
Yes, got disk lock and immobiliser etc. - sure I'm paranoid

Ah, many thanks.
As you can see, it looks like the screws are very visible when the cap is in place so, even though it fits my car clearly it must be for a somewhat more recessed filler neck.
Many thanks again.
Sue
