Morris Minor Owners Club

i pulled the original engine out of my feb 1971 morris van and under all the crud it was green, the van was bought new by a polish man for his shop, hope this helps Mackie the collie!!! when i was a puppy i spotted it up someone,s drive whilst cocking my leg on there gate post, anyway i bought it fr...

yes i was unsure about weather a copper washer fitted, maybe thats why there is more than i would expect corrosion wise!!

Hi Richard, i dont think any paint was used on the backs of the hinges, but i would use a zinc primmer on the casting and then a aerosol colour to seal it after its been de rusted graham

i think i would dismantle and have a good look, it seems something is attacking the alloy cylinder!and check the other side as well

i think the interior light and horn are both on the perm live fuse and the wipers are on the other fuse which comes live when ignition is on , anyway back to the question, you could try disconnecting all three wires to int light to see if this rectifies the fault but i think if the black and brown a...

will look out for it, could it be joy riders or a more professional job??

i think they would give it an age related plate, usually with" x" in it or a unused scottish plate with "s" in it, "q" usually gets issued if the car is made up from various other cars parts eg a kit car

i agree with martin ,use an old car inner tube, cut the hole in a piece of rubber first then use a biro and draw round the chrome bit and then cut out with scissors, it will last longer then anything you buy, hope this info helps ,graham

dont forget if they are smaller running diameter your speedo will be reading a fraction fast, but thats not a bad thing?

im a purist and they look ok to me ,are they mg midget wheels??anyway ten mins work and you can revert back to original!!

Hi Stephen, i found using a blunt wood chisel gets the thick stuff off and then a wire brush in an electric drill to finish off, it is time consuming dirty and definitely the worst job to do on a minor.it might be easier to remove the wing from the car and lay it on some old carpet to protect the pa...

looks like it wants, 2 wings bumper valance, bumper blade, over rider,grill , rad panel,headlights ,paint,all at garage prices,there is a good chance the inner wing and maybe the chassis has slite damage, only pattern parts are available which may not be a straight fit, may need lots of fetling. so ...

in the early 60s the 1098 cc morris 1000 had a gold face speedo 0/90 mph and 1376 tpm, that may be nearer. maybe some one on here can calculate it for you? i have some of this variaty if you are stuck. sorry i cant work it out its a bit beyond me , flocks of sheep are my speciality!!

forgot to mention,health and safety dont use lpg gas heating or parafin stove as they produce alot of condensation and also naked flame can ignite the strong solvents in the air when spraying and may blow the garage roof off.now i must do something more importance and find my ball !!

what i did was to warm the underside panels with a hair drier or fan heater to remove any condensation from your breath etc and then brush on a coat of zinc primmer, then seal all panel joints, next day warm it again and then spray stone chip all over, next day warm up again and spray body colour. I...

my second rubber was supplied by bull mottif and was way better than the first one but needed sealing and sticking down on the corners by a product called polyurothon, we cut some timber to length to wedge the screens in from the seats and used gaffer tape to pull the rubber down on the outside corn...

i doubt there all come from the same maker, i bought a series 2 one from a supplier and it was useless,i bought a second one from bull motif as they were advertising"our screen rubbers fit" and it did fit a lot better but was still a job that two of us would not like to repeat, hope this h...

i have a 240 volt DA sander which is very quiet but you cant get into corners or gutters like angle grinder with wire brush fitted

exhaust and carbs on opposite sides, midget 1275 would be best in my opinion, graham

hi i dont know if it has been in minor matters, but what i would do is cut a piece of metal about two inch long and place it behind the crack and secure it by two self tapping screws one each side of crack. next mig weld the crack together. next remove one screw and drill hole out to 6 mm and plug w...
