Morris Minor Owners Club

I fitted several extra clamps to the front half of the nasty Bull Motif rear springs and the tramp has completely gone. Still worked out cheaper than buying proper springs from Rossendale.

£6 Million in front of my office a short while ago.

One of the guys working here can recall when they took the last ones out of the storage hangars and crushed them up. I guess we could all be rich if we could work out what will be desirable in 50 years.

I'm lloking for an earlier Vedette like this one.

I have a rebuilt 950 Vedette short engine here, if you get stuck. New pistons/camshaft, lifters etc. Located near Cardiff.

We totted up the bills for one of our cars and it hit £15,000 (Lowlight) and another one hit £7,000 (52 Saloon). That was with a professional respray and us doing everything else. Scary how the bills stack up when you start rebuilding SV engines and fitting leather interiors.

Some interesting and useful info on the selection of filters.

Not the exhaust clanging against the crossmember or underside of the boot?

Do you maybe have a collection of photos of your car, Phil? Always looks interesting whenever you show a pic of what you've done.

Curious about the Rose jointed rod near the cooler. Bracing??

It would be nice to find a source or manufacturer for the through-bolt thingy, too. I've a feeling that Scenic engine is used by Dacia. Do you happen to know if the through-bolt is the same thread as the Midget/Morris, Phil? Would be nice to make a device to heat drinking water via the oil heat exch...

Next couple of days alright? Up to my ears at the moment. Needs no welding, just a lot of rubbing down of scratched paint. No rust bubbles at the back end.

Ah, OK. That makes sense. I hadn't twigged that 1 spline by itself would do what you need.

How far from Cardiff are you? I have one here.

My idea to 'drop one spline and re-drill' was just a quick way to move the hole in the crossmember to gain that extra inch. If you only moved the rear arm enough to gain an extra inch without shifting by a spline then you'd probably just find the new hole 1/2 in and 1/2 out of the old hole. Hope thi...

Just a thought, but could you move the rear arm down one spline and drill a new hole? Might be a quicker option. Not ideal but would be a quicker solution with less effort.

On one of mine with the plain pins I have 3 little rubber grommets in the holes that grip the pins quite well. Easy to tug the panel off if I want to get to the wiring inside. Best system, IMHO.

Easier than snipping washers in half and trying to get them all in without one falling out and rolling under the car.

BTDT!

New 5-main blocks being made. A lot of work and a lot of expense, I guess.

Can't help but I have 2 almost brand new Newton Commercial-built red leather front seats for a 52-53. Brace yourself before you see the price Newton charge!

Nah, I just cut the long bolts down and used thread lock to hold them in place, screwing them in to the right length. Ford 60 degree 7/16 nuts are perfect.
