A little tip about master cylinders. There is no need to remove the rear brake line from the banjo bolt. Only loosen it enough so that the brake line can rotate within the fitting. After removing the front line, undo the banjo bolt. It is alot easier to remove and start this bolt than fiddling with ...

Another approach that one of our memebers has done is to mount the master cylinder on top of the chassis leg in the engine bay. The standard pedal can be use but flip the clevis around and fabricate a linkage that goes forward through the chassis leg to another pivot point that rotates a lever in or...

I made a pair of them years ago. Minor wheels (At least through Series III) are riveted together. I then located a pair of 14 inch wheels that also were riveted and removed the center. The diameters were a little different so I sandwiched some sheet steel between and riveted everything back together...

I'm sorry, my memory failed me. The C clamp will not work. A little hammering and prying under the plate does the trick. I don't remember if the bushing will fit through the hole of the pin if not you need the larger diameter of the hole created by the plate removal. In any case there needs to be a ...

New to the forum.
Cheers, after visiting sites of my daily cars and noticing our club in the States, Morris Minor Registry is only by print, I did a quick search and here I am. I've been playing Morris for forty some years now, so I know my way around and am the technical advisor for our club here. I'll pop in here o...
When you think about this issue, it becomes even more bazaar. Remember the 4 door/LCV came along later, so if that style lock/handle was the new improved (BMC?) style, were there thoughts of incoprorating a lock in both sides? Then why didn't they do it until Series V? Why not use the same assembly ...

Let me explain further. The jacking should be done so that there is very little change is the suspension geometry. Place the jack as far out as possible. Normally the car is 'hanging' from the lower trunnion, such that the bearing surfaces are the top side of the male thread profile and the lower si...
