Morris Minor Owners Club

I have seen the racks that start at the cab, the strongest roof section. They seem like a good idea but without lots of fabrication I feel it'll be tricky!

These are the best I have, hope they help

So very helpful!

Thank you very much, I can now confidently put the thing back together .


Thanks.

Thanks Andy, that is super helpful.

Would you happen to have any of the lower half of the rear seat - how that attaches etc?
I'm guessing that it just screws into the main beam with its base?

Hi, I am in the reassembly stage with my traveller -at last! However as it has been so long I have forgotten quite how it should all work. I have the main wooden beam between the arches, that the rear board support pieces screws to, in place. The rear seat brackets which screw to the waist rail (Any...

I believe that rubber components need to be used, stretched (?), otherwise they brittle and crack?

This is certainly what I have been told, at least.

Is that a RetroSport blanking plug I spy?

I can vouch for the quality of the stainless lettering

Because that's all they are there for...

Good old fashioned forum logic, I'm afraid.

Merry Christmas.
Santa.

If you can't take a joke, don't drive one

OOFT the deck chair brigade vs the Mid life crisis crew.... It all seems terribly petty nevertheless, IMO, I think there is a 'classic' car and a classic car. Your series MM is a classic. Your Scooby wrx/sti original with the original liveries would be a 'classic' (wow what a classic from the old da...

Hope that helps you identify them, at least.

The torsion bars could be moved a couple of splines round... There's a young member called Chris Ryder who has lowered his car 'Bluey' find and ask him.

He had two chassis and engines, one of which he put together into that one, the other left spare I believe :) Terry did give me a folder full of old Morris documents and old AA and reg stuff, this was at the time he was thinking of selling me the four door, so I'll have a look through in case there'...

Oh my goodness!!!! I live in Garboldisham and frequently use to visit Terry. We often use to work on his cars together, I always joked that I'd help him finish the four door and take him to a national in it! When I received the news of his passing I tried to get in contact with the family, unfortuna...

I liked the thought process, the idea, just not the finished article. As has been said I'd (IMO) have to have it all lined up and square

From the heater tap?

COR dear you'll ruffle some feathers! The deck chair brigade won't be happy!

Like I say if you plan on tuning it up use the 44.....

Maniflow do a nice exhaust for the 1275 . As for the carb I'd say go for the HIF38 or HIF44, the 44 if you plan to 'tune' it up a bit. Whilst they appear on ebay they go for silly money, go to any mini show and check the auto jumble
