I’m inclined to agree that they are dangerous.
Anybody passed an MOT with them fitted? Anyone been pulled over?
But not so dangerous as the vertical number plates we used to see on the front mudguards of motorcycles. Those things were lethal.

Re: Is it just me or does it happen to you?
I have a dashcam but always forget to put the memory card back in after viewing footage so it might have been a waste of money. :D I keep a spare card and strictly never take one out without putting the other one in. I always delete everything on the removed card after saving anything I want to kee...

Re: ..and I thought all Morris Minor drivers were nice chaps
Seriously though, most Morris Minor Owners tend to be at the older end of the age spectrum.
We should all do what we can to encourage more young people of both genders into the obsession. I mean hobby.

Re: ..and I thought all Morris Minor drivers were nice chaps
I did hear of a local ex Minor owner who was done for growing cannabis several years back but that was after they had sold their Minor - next time I go to local branch meetings I will have to carry out a drugs test on the members present to see if about 0.1 of them is drug driving !!! Oh dear, you ...

Re: NMP plates
So stepping away from Minor photo hunting before I go completely blind, Thought I would install my newly Clarendon Grey painted NMP plate. That went well but I learned a valuable lesson today. I was putting a nice new ' Another Quality First Morris' sticker on the back windscreen and listening to '...

Re: ..and I thought all Morris Minor drivers were nice chaps
Small sample size equals bad data.
I would want to see this study peer-reviewed with a statistical opinion before believing it.
How about the MMOC starting a class action for liable on our behalf ?

Re: barrie's project
You have saved your grandad’s car and got it to a point where somebody else will get it back on the road instead of it being scrapped.
That’s not failure. That’s success.
When a relay team wins at the Olympics they all get a medal.

Re: high speed pursuit
That has added a few quid to the value of the Minor. :roll: I would be interested in the spec of the stolen Minor as it was able to change direction at those lights when avoiding the other cars. Most minors would have rolled over. In some ways you could say it was well driven. :o Yes, whipped aroun...

Clutch noise
On depressing the clutch to its fullest extent, further than necessary for normal operation, I’m getting a tac-tac-tac-tac noise. It is not a rattle. It sounds more like a rotating part coming into contact with a stationery part and the rate varies with engine revs. It seems consistent with the clut...

Re: Engine steady bar
I believe it was a Charles Ware restoration about 8 years ago (I’ve had her 2 years). A mildly uprated 1275 was fitted.
Perhaps they got it with just the welded anchorage and added or put back the bolted one for extra strength.

Re: Engine steady bar
For what it’s worth, here is a picture of mine.
Appears to be bolted to two anchorages. One bolted under the battery tray and the other welded.
No idea what’s original, but the welding does not look like Factory original quality.
It’s a 67 Traveller.
