Morris Minor Owners Club

Have a look on here, there's a few different style thay could be mounted on the bumper valence and look 'period'. http://fiftysixdelux.com/hotrod.htm Hmmm hand grenade shifters :lol: I'm guessing they took the explosives out first...................... What a great idea for an anti theft device.......

Thanks Matt,

How do they fit?

Does anyone know if there are any purpose made brackets for fitting front spot/fog lights. I have a pair of bottom mounting Lucas Fograngers (although the fitting would be the same for the Lucas 576 type) and I cannot just bolt to the Bumper valence because it's GRP (fibreglass) and isn't strong eno...

This might help!

I believe it's the same shape except for the gear lever position, unless you have a later remote shift, in which case it should fit straight in!

Yes you got it!

No problem for blending into the existing paint, just make sure that any polish is thoroughly removed and the area is lightly keyed with 1200 wet and dry. A blending or fade out spray may help as can a machine polisher!

Note that you may have a paint reaction with the Hammerite! I think they say it takes six weeks to cure? Better grinding off again and using an etch primer before priming, flatting etc.

So good to see someone doing a proper job!

Looks great and will last....Well done!

"Rain X" is a water repellent that can be applied to the glass, windscreen and other windows. Available in Halfords and other auto accessory shops. You can also buy a "Rain X" additive for your washer fluid. Not everyone is convinced it seems ( :wink: ) but I have had great resul...

If you have the standard radiator, I would use the standard 4 lb cap.

Before moving to a higher pressure system I would consider an expansion tank (pressurised with an un-pressurised rad cap) or a coolant recovery tank (same idea but vice versa on the caps)

A corrosion of minors sounds a bit cruel, perhaps an old skool of minors, or my favourite a nostalgia of minors

I have just replaced a pump on a traveller that would stop without warning and then run normally again without any external influence (tapping). The poor chap had the AA out three times and each time the car was working perfectly again by the time they arrived and they could do or find nothing. I to...

Or ARA22 for the early cars

I did exactly that, as Taupe describes for a customer after his "captive" nut "escaped". Probably the strongest bit on the car! and a nice straightforward and quick solution for anyone who can weld (properly!)

Sounds like a great project!

Best of luck and keep us posted!

OK maybe I'm not the only one, but I thought it sounded pretty awful.

BUT, actually the result is not bad at all. I wondered what the point would be, but I have to say, seeing the picture, I totally get it!

.. I've just started skateboarding again. ..... I'm now 46. Now that has to end in tears.... :roll: Well I'm into cars and, well cars really. Classic British cars, but then I probably can't afford these Italian or German machines! And if I could I'd probably buy an Aston Martin or another Jag..... ...

No they are definitely not! I have both MGA 1500 and Minor plinths loose in the workshop. Both sets going back on my respective cars I hasten to add!

I think it has far more to do with the quality and finish of the paintwork than the colour!

All of the period colours look great when polished up!

That said, I love original cars, but it's your car so do it how you want, but do it well!
