Morris Minor Owners Club

No, but I like the idea. Perhaps one of our computer wiz's could come up with something.

I hereby stake my claim to be the first Minor owner to obtain a new style
White MOT certificate. October 19th 2011. 10.25.

(unless you know different !! )

Yes,I would worry about the damp / felt issue. Also 11mm is pretty thick.
I am considering DEDSHEET,(details via google) seems to fit the bill.

BTW. Wilkinsons do Evostick flashband tape. £5.98 for 3.75m x 100mm.
could also be usefull.

We will be there, hope the weather improves by then.
If you still have a good , late HS2 (with breather) for sale Dennis, can you bring it along, Thanks.

Certainly looks like teal blue to me.

Please dont be tempted to wrap silver paper around a blown fuse ! it could seriously damage your wiring . Over riding the fuse could cause wires to overheat and could cause a fire ! Get a packet of 13 amp mains plug top fuses from the diy to use while fault finding.A cheap test meter is an invaluabl...

To save blowing Lucas 35 amp fuses while fault finding, I use 13 amp mains plug top fuses,
a bit shorter but will fit the fuseholders ok.

This happened to my car after the tank had been out, the sender unit had been fitted 1/4 turn out
causing the float to foul on the tank internal baffle plate. (bit scary draining a full petrol tank) !

Good to hear the Minor got home ok, we like a happy ending.
Hope the criticism didn't offend.
Nice to know there are folk out there willing to go the extra mile though.

' A friend in need ' and all that.

It would have been nice for the 'PLEASE HELP' person to at least have acknowledged ' CJ,s'
kind offer of help, even if they had got the problem sorted.

If you look closely at this idea it is more effective than you may at first think. There is very little movement on the tubing if you use the right diameter as its 'locked in' by the notched handbrake lever and meets the gear lever far enough below the knob ( not enough movement to 'lift' it ). OK, ...

DONT BE PUT OFF ! this is a good idea that works and it is easy to make up. Mine is along the same lines as described by cmea, Using one inch metal tubing, 11 3/4 inches long but flatened at the padlock end,drilled through and padlocked to the gear lever. IT CANT BE LIFTED OFF. Easy to fit when you ...

'one up against the wimps who trundle round to kwick fit.' I may be mising something here, but I dont see the point in struggling to change tyres / valves yourself when you are probably going to have to go to get the wheels balanced anyway. I took 4 wheels and new Toyo tyres to my local tyre place,h...

Nice One, glad to have been able to help.
I am in awe of your project and follow it with great interest.
Good luck with it , need some decent weather now(don't hold your breath !)

David,

There is one in Portland road, Hove . actually !!

Was called the nut and bolt store but i'm pretty sure that's Namrick.

71 here, and trying to persuade my 17 year old grandson that a Minor would be a FAR better proposition than a Eurobox !!

Hopefully they have dropped the idea of Modern Gentleman. ( UGH )

YJJ - Maybe it's because mine's a Londoner !

I would love to be able to get one of these for my grandson.
Have been watching Austin J40's on E-bay for some time but even
rusty wrecks go for hundreds of pounds.

Chap went to get some snow tyres,

By the time he got home - they had melted !!
