Morris Minor Owners Club

I use a giffgaff sim in a Tk103 tracker off Ebay. If the tracker is so picky would it be worth upgrading? The Tk103 is only £20 or less on Ebay these days. Chinglish but does the job. Having my main mobile also on giffgaff the texts are free and the sim costs about £5 a month I think. One thing tha...

Buy from reputable sources Eg VehicleWiringProducts or carbuildersolutions.

In terms of what you're stuck with, sandpapering the ends will reveal the colour underneath.

To my bemusement my belt reel is attached to the inside surface of the sill, rather than the floor, and when I jiggle it a bit, the entire organisation moves, as the sill bends. The sill has no real structural strength (I already knew that), so it seems a ridiculous place to mount it (I thought it ...

I don't like orange smarties. I don't even like smarties that have touched orange smarties as they get tainted with the chemical chocolatey orange taste. So I thought I would share on here.

There are seats from other manufacturers which have seatbelts built in to the seat. I had R129 Mercedes SL seats in my Minor bolted to large reinforcements in the floor. But they left no room for rear passenger legs. Also the middle front seat of a Fiat multipla. All quite heavy so need a reinforced...

Well just to update, my blue Minor MAD282F has never turned up.

I've seen somewhere where they dump a load of dry ice on the floor to make the underside underseal cold & brittle so it chips off much more easily

I had a powdery mirror that had degraded to the exn that the balljoint failed. From memory I replaced with something from an early mini which was more or less the same thing but cheaper

One interesting thing that's come out of this is the old 'we have an unwritten constitution' chestnut. If it's not written it doesn't exist just like my unwritten homework or referring to an unwritten dictionary. This puts power with the small number of people who get to interpret this invisible tom...

Sheet steel....First a warning , avoid galvanized steel - it gives off poisonous fumes....so even if it's offered free decline. Does this go for zintec too? I've been using this but wire wheeling the edges to be welded down to bare steel first. The zinc comes off easily so I suspect a different pro...

Back in the '80s I spent so long getting the brakes off an Ital or Marina for my Minor that the place closed without me realising. A guard dog on a chain stared at me angrily but silently until I dropped my pile of bits and it went mental. Thankfully the owners were still around counting their money...

I really miss Spitting Image. It always revealed the absurdity of politics & politicians better than the serious commentators.

I'm in a similar position my minor requires some bodywork and having welded a few bits of steel together in the past and managed to make a wood burner I thought I would try it myself. I think the main thing with welding at home is to obtain a good deal on argon. I'm still looking for a decent suppl...

If roll-over hoops are still available, they could offer a better mounting point for the upper mounting of a an inertia reel seatbelt

Does it have to be British? What about Volvo 244 or Merc W123?

This yellow one looks very interesting, Peugeot alloys so Ford PCD. For sale too. Anyone know any more about it?

At least you’re optimistic about the planet surviving, when you mention a fifty year projection ! Well it is biologically possible that I could still be around in 50 years and my hope is that I can live out my days before things go too far down the pan :wink: . Ultimately I suspect Mother Nature wi...
