Morris Minor Owners Club

I have a similar garage and bought a Carcoon to go inside. It is a drive-in version so unzips at the end (and sides if necessary.) Like you, No electricity so I mounted a small PV panel on the roof which charges a battery and powers the small fans in the carcoon. Dry and moisture free, albeit not ch...

RH later glove box lids from export (LHD) cars are rare. Someone did reproduce them in fibreglass some years ago, but its ages since I have seen one.

Anyway, about those screws.....

Thanks for all the advice. The car is not concours, nor do I aspire to owning a museum piece simply like original look, I have the connectors from an equally (Much worse) geeky fellow owner and the battery posts have been drilled by the supplier which is Shield batteries. Not cheap but looks the par...

Thanks It is a period battery design and I have checked the connectors on the posts they fit well and snuggly. The screw also assistsion the connectivity.

Odd question time..

Would anyone have, or know the correct size for the domed slotted screws for the cup type battery post connectors. I am looking to replace the clamp type for the original style.

The Whitewebbs Morris day is 25th not the 26th of September

How about this.

I got the 'dated' one and made up a bracket which fees to the two central bumper blade bolts.

We are not far away in Uttlesford, if you PM me I can send yiu our events list. Essex Branch are also a very active friendly and welcoming bunch and their details are on the branch pages.

When fitting I use dabs of evo-stik in areas where it is difficult to crimp the metal of the DE. When trimming it, a very sharp cutter is needed and some clear spray glue is useful on cut-ends to stop the cloth fraying. I am not sure whether they were original but my car has 6" metal rub strips...

For those interested and, of course who are free, the Uttlesford branch rally is on the 14th of August 2022 within the Saffron Walden Motor Show, on the Common. Entry to the show is free and donations are welcome to the Organiser's selected charity. A wide variety of cars and other modes of transpor...

Some parts are ordered from elsewhere as it would be uneconomic to stock them. The restoration business has been re established and doing some really good work. My car came back after a long stay through the turmoil and the work was beautifully done. They have a long list of vehicles awaiting work a...

Or, if you are at the Cambs, Herts, Suffolk end of what is quite a big county, Uttlesford Branch meet informally, 2nd Tuesday of the month, once every 2 months at the Plough in Great Chesterford, 7pm ish . Next meeting 14/6/2022 and branch rally on the Common in Saffron Walden at the SW Motor Show, ...

Uttlesford members, Colin and Jane Canter in their lovely, Clarendon Grey, early Series II Convertible

Originally a registration number allocated to the Bury (B) area and issued May 1958 - March 1959 but sadly No trace with DVLA.

From memory there were also 'S' stencils which it is suggested stood for 'Synobel' / 'Synthetic' paint and I spotted this one at Capel Manor (NLMMMOC) a few weeks ago, which I am told designated 'E' for Export. (Series III Clarendon Grey, 2 door Saloon).

I highly recommend Woolies in Peterborough. https://www.woolies-trim.co.uk and https://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/c-118-vinyl-renovation. They will colour match non-faded samples.

Over the rounder inner arch the material some form of vynide is glued with a shaped vinyl cover panel as an edging. The latter has, from memory, 4 cross head screws in cups through the card / hard board covered vinyl and an aluminium former, designed to prevent friction wear.

I tried for years to tell DVLC as it then was of a new Goldseal engine fitted in 1979. Having been ignored I eventually removed the Goldseal number and had a new engine number strip made with the original engine number on it. The scrivets were drilled out and the new ones tapped into place. Now my c...
