Morris Minor Owners Club

Fabulous looking car and the carpets looking great too I fitted this colour in my convertible and they transform the interior well done.

I wonder if it is worth fitting a brake servo kit on my standard Morris minor brakes,does it make a big difference to the brakes or would I need to go all the way with calipers please?

Well done Panky :D Im wondering if the sliding grooves need "digging out" rather than just the tops plained looking at the photos just to help slot the runners in for when the glass slides? My traveller before the wood was replaced had some home made plastic runners that worked reasonably ...

Ive just replaced the wood on my traveller and it is a very satisfying job, take your time and be prepared for welding once the back has been removed.

Good luck with the rebuild it will be very satisfying I will follow with interest

Has anybody got one of the tonneau covers that cover the convertible hood when it is folded down please as i would like the measurements.
Many thanks

I will have a look tomorrow, many thanks for advice.

Hello Maurice I checked further today and the lock nut that keeps the adjustment looks as though it has worked loose over a period of time. I have readjusted the clutch and although the pedal doesnt have so much travel as I would like, I do have my clutch back again. Out of intrest by removing the r...

well I went out today and did about 40 miles, during the journey my gear selection got harder to the point that I have to really pull into gear.
Im wondering if I have a hydraulic problem or if my clutch has suddenly got worse on my journey. I have very little travel in my pedal before biting point.

I used my airline and gently blew the fuel pipe to the tank and the problem appears to be ok now, I'm just wondering weather its worth fitting an inline fuel filter?

I currently have no fuel coming through from the fuel tank to the pump, If I use a fuel can direct to the pump it all works fine and when I reconnect to the tank again there is no fuel coming through.
Can anybody advise me please.

Wow ...love it!

Just been for a spin after setting tappets and a little tweek with tickover and everything runs beautifully.
Regarding head retorque....should I do this after a certain mileage and hot or cold engine?
man thanks.

will do Roy . Many thanks

I replaced the headgasket today and Morris fired up first time on all cylinders...Im so chuffed
I just need to reset the tappets tomorrow and hopefully all ready to drive again.
Thank you everybody for the wealth of information and help to complete this.

Well head is removed this morning and between bore one and two the gasket is missing/broken.

headgasket kit just purchased

The tappets are a bit rattily..could this cause compressions low and my chugging?

I wanted to remove my rears so that I could replace the piping trim with new fresh ones but Im looking for a trim of sorts that may go over the piping without disturbing the wings and paintwork.

when engine was cold and also ran up warm, I don't appear to loose much water or engine smoke
