Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi Have purchased a very nice 1968 Traveller so not sure if it has the correct speedo fitted. The problem is it reads very high, Checked with sat nav at 30 the speedo reads 40 and at 50 the speedo reads 68 the fitted speedo is 4423/04 1408 Is the 1408 a calibration no. for revolutions per mile ? And...

I have replace the pinion oil seal on my 1953 series 2 with the early type Diff, The the pinion nut is a nylon lock nut in the manual for this early diff it just states tighten nut and fit spit pin
mine does not have a split pin, so does any one know how tight this nut should be?

HI I am respraying a Black 1953 series 2 can anyone give me a paint code/colour for the Maroon stripe?

I wrap PTFE plumbing tape around some connections then push on the hose as some castings are not very smooth.
This always works for me if the hoses are in good condition.

Fitted duplex chain, I had to shim crank gear a small amount but no real problems.
Its a good quality kit and happy with result.
Thanks for advice.
Chris

Thanks for your advice, I have ordered the Duplex kit and will let you know how I get on fitting it.

I have a Series 2 803cc Minor and about to change the timing chain, Any advice would be appreciated.
Should I check the cam and crankshaft gears, do they tend to wear?
I see that ESM sell duplex kits are these suitable for the 803cc engine and are they a better replacement?

Thanks Chris
