Morris Minor Owners Club

My attitude is that if I have owned the car for 37 years then I am entitled to stamp my personality on it.

I have the Smiths twin gauge which retails around £95. It has the advantage of only taking the space for one gauge leaving room for another gauge eg ammeter

North America spec cars were highlight from early 49 on. Providing that the engine is in good condition progress is leisurely but not pitifully slow I would say that you have a bargain. Find yourself a good car upholsterer and order the material from UK and you will have a very nice car. You will al...

Have you checked the electrics?

PM me your email address and I will forward it to the owner

If you have standard wheels and diff you will need a gold speedo with a 1402 TPM (90 mph, early 1098)

The rad should not be completely filled, the excess will escape through the overflow pipe

Try removing the spark plug, squirt a drop of oil on the valve and tap the valve head with the pointy end of a screw driver. Or remove the tappet chest cover and check the spring is correctly seated

You will need to fit the M1000 swivel pin, hub and brake assembly. Then of course the wheels will be different unless you change the complete rear axle as well.

The headlights and indicator/sidelight units have separate earth cables. Check the bullet connectors where the earth cables join.
Is the wiring original ?

I find that these blades work well on my 68 Traveller

Just to throw another spannner in the works

Use two 2 x 21 + 5W flashers

I came across an Australian Series MM in a lock up in Slough years ago which had the switch fitted. The car is now owned by Sandy Hamilton

See how it goes in 4th which should be the same as top in the Minor box and then decide if the car can handle a 3.9 with the overdrive 5th gear. My guess is that it will be ok as it is

It depends on what the seats are from, Minor seats should fit straight in, anything else will require an adapter base

The wiring diagram on http://seriesmm.mmoc.org.uk Technical Information, Trafficator and Indicator Wiring Diagram shows how to use both from the same switch. In addition you can buy flashing bulbs for the trafficators which make them more visible.
