i think you only need to sorn if historic tax or insurance runs out, but maybe some human may tell you in more detail, i do know for certain i no longer need a dog licence if that helps, mackie

yes it can be done with good results, i am self taught and have done several full resprays in celly. dont do what i did and use the cheap thinners at 7 quid a can as it is too aggressive and dries without a shine and also remember the main part of the job is all the prep, flatting down etc,good luck...

hi john,inside the door bottoms and if its a saloon the boot lid inside the bottom edge, i also have used the dynex s50 and it seems to be a great product,graham

Is Jethro missing the swage line on the bonnet??anyway when i did my car i painted the wheels and grill slats grey because i wanted too, people at shows keep telling me but its my car, i have to look at it more times then anybody else so i did how i wanted it!

After all i have just said, i do prefer the look of the later rear wings, Graham

the pics of Jethro by Boomlander appears to have the later morris 1000 rear wings fitted, i have a 1955 series 2 with original rear wings and they are about an inch higher at 12 oclock on the wheel, so what im saying is the distance at the top of the arch on series 2 cars is about an inch less when ...

look at the bottom edge of the front wings and you should see two small holes about 6 mm diameter, sort of a rubber plug fits in the holes and cushions the wing to valance so not to rattle and also provides a small gap. hope this helps Graham

it looks like trafalgar blue to me but as usual variations are common from car to car.i would take the boot lid into a good paint shop and they should be able to scan it and make you an aerosol up to a perfect match, hope this helps Graham

before making any changes i would check the differential ratio as some of the older cars have had a replacemet diff from a morris 1000 fitted which is 4:22, this would need a speedo with 1376 tpm or there abouts, hope this helps, Graham

it may be the digits which have rusted to the spindle or the worm drive which is worn out,if it is a gold face 0 to 90 mph i have a spare one, the small number on the face is "1376" turns per mile and was removed from a early morris 1000. if your interested i can test it before posting at ...

try measuring the voltage accross the battery when you turn the key to crank, if it drops below about 9 volts its going to be the battery, for this test put the meter probes on the actual battery posts not the terminals which are on the thick leads . if the terminal voltage does not drop at all then...

i think you have tap out the cotter pin at the pivot point on the clutch pedel <where you took the nut off> and then tap the spindle through the chassis. when rebuilding look at a workshop manual to make sure you have all washers/bushes etc in the correct places as its no fun if you have to dismantl...

i forgot to mention you dont have to take the quarter light glass out of the frame, just undo the top pivot little screws and then you can lift the quarter light out frame and glass complete, now where is my ball!

if you look at the frame which faces the inside of the car there are two big phillips screws.the idea is when its fitted you tighten these big screws which clamps onto the pivot pin, this is to make it stiffer to close as when your driving at say 50mph the air flow off the windscreen tends to keep c...

yes i have used them dozens of times and found them to be brilliant

body panels are available for the morris, front and rear wings etc, i doubt they are for the others on your list

the first series 2 rubber i bought from a supplier was useless, and then i remembered an ad in minor matters by another supplier which said [our screen rubbers fit] and altho it was still a difficult job for two of us which have over 60 years combined experiance with motor trade

i dont know either but in vinyl it can be peeled off!

have a look at the people that do vinyl signs for vans etc, the sky is the limit thay can do allsorts on the comp and print onto vinyl,its self addesive then you just stick it on, simples

i once used my lead for a fan belt, i have also used my biscuits [with the hollow centres of causre] for wheel nuts, i am quite good at solving problems!has anybody else got any good tips for roadside repairs?im sure something could be done with a cat or two!
