I am following your conversion with great interest, and thank you for sharing. Watching your progress with anticipation. I cannot understand how you moved the gearstick forward, did you use the MK 1 box and moved the stick housing forward, and re bolt it to the casing, after cutting the selector sha...

I personally prefer to look at a respray with orange peel or any other imperfections when done by an enthusiastic amateur than look at a bright shiny cheque book respray. A great many people know how much effort has gone into it. Keep up the good work. Everybody to their own, I still admire the fini...

This is mine if pic's work.

Hi Doug
I have one number cast in it is 54210719 FR 39 spigot is 3.5", if anyone can confirm it is the correct one, you can have it.

Postage to Canada is approx £20 unless anyone can show me a cheaper way.

Morning, we it is here.

If possible i would do a compression test first, a failed head gasket gives strange noises, especially when oil pressure appears OK.

See the various advice regarding tightening head down after replacing head gasket.

I used my adjustable reamer when I did mine many years ago, just made it a running fit.
You can borrow it if you need it, I live in South Yorkshire, but it will not cost a fortune to post it.

I soldered a length of copper earth wire from a short length of 2.5mm flat twin and earth, worked fine for me.

My small side light is 120 mm up from valance and 30 mm offset to the headlight.

My original choke cable is notched, just twist it to lock it.
I suggest removing it to check if it is just jammed.
I repaired my inner cable, just unsoldered old one, and replaced with a copper earth cable.

Just received mine, just have to plan a non journey.
See you all at the other side .

Kind regards and take care Win

Good find Mike well done, something to look forward to, waiting for the postman, WOW.

I fitted the EMS EX126 2 piece mild steel exhaust, appears good quality.
I fitted it onto a unmarked 3 into 1, on a 1275 Midget engine.
I am satisfied with the results, for the price.

I believe an ex navy officer may be involved with the original Morris makes a comeback post. He is highly respected engineer, who has developed a new type of battery without all the nastiest chemicals. They are going to try it in a tut tut first, and then move onto Morris commercial's. The write up ...

I soldered the earth wire from some 2.5 mm twin and earth for my inner choke cable, still working fine after a few years.

If you are still unsure how to change the connecting tube, I will help you at the next meeting, just keep your fuel level lower.
