Morris Minor Owners Club

There's a lot of really , really good work being done. As your experience has grown , the quality of the work rises. You are the Chief Quality Controller and you have some very clear specifications as to what is acceptable and what isn't. Well done that man ! As I said in the early stages , crack on...

It's a plus 1 for an extra fused box. My mate wanted " just one or two " additions to the electrical system when we re-wired his Moggie I put a secondary fuse box inside the car under the dash. Count up how many feeds you need and allow for a least a couple of "spares " positions...

One option for you to consider is a timer relay that will switch off automatically after a certain time. You will need a " beefy" to cope with the electrical load of a rear windscreen. Here's what I had in mind : - https://www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk/product/836 . I've used the Company ...

You're welcome. Safe driving Bob

Carsten , If it's a 3 terminal ignition switch ( ? ), the wiring diagram for a " saloon " says : - 1. To Starter Motor Colour White with Red tracer wire ( via Solenoid ) 2. Two wires Colour both White wires a. goes to Ignition warning light b. goes to the fuse box for ignition controlled c...

Dave , Glad you were able to blow away a few of Alice's cobwebs whilst "travelling for your daily exercise ".It was a super day weather wise. Still need a few parts for my pal's Jag to finish off the refurbishment of the bits but 75% of it done. It's certainly kept me sane over the last co...

If you've done the Restoration Bodywork course or are a professional body shop guy or gal......then it would be an easy fix. It's always difficult with just photos to fully assess what work needs to be done. Quote " only some surface rust " ?? My definition of that is no more than 30 minut...

Brian
Welcome to the Forum. Keep the questions , concerns , other peoples preferences ( and why ) etc. coming.
I don't suppose you've got any inside information on " when the dust settles " have you ? Let's hope it's not long.
Bob

What's the expression … " you can never have enough Mole grips when doing bodywork ! "
Some quality work there alright.
Bob

Sound decision Bob

Dave , Well done. There's always "sum-mat to do " on a classic car , but after a restoration your mind is problem solving attuned. Confined to barracks as part of the 70+ brigade , my mate has brought me some " homework ".In lieu of my weekly visit to his garage , to work on his ...

Writing for the record , ALL Morris Minors have solenoids , it's only the method by which they are activated that differs 1948 to 1964 cars were made with "pull type " ESM part number SWH106 1964 to 1971 cars were made with "key starter " type ESM part number SWH108 In this scena...

Hi NorthWalesMorris , Welcome to the Forum. First things first … everybody starts as a novice....knowledge comes from learning , advice and experience. Certain assumptions are made and quite often on the forum we will try giving a full checklist for problem solving so that people can pick up hints /...

Hi , Sorry to hear you've both been unwell but … pleased to hear that you're now back in action. Better take a box of tissues with you , when you visit Mrs Curley , I'm sure it will be an emotional day for all concerned. We like stories with a good outcome / happy ending ( both mechanical and emotio...

Dave Your response doesn't disenfranchise you in anyway shape or form. The Forum regulars try and provide a " broad and informative " response to questions on the forum , recognizing that there is a wide spectrum of knowledge and interests amongst it's users. Please keep your questions com...

Dave Never forget , we all started out with zero experience and there are only a few people who literally know everything there is to know about cars. As my old Dad use to say "don't be afraid to ask the experts daft questions ". Most people are more than willing to share their knowledge a...

Have you tried " lifting " the door ever so slightly. A decent lump of wooden batten , under the bottom of the door.Out with the hydraulic jack and " just " take the weight of the door off the hinge. Either spray or finger in grease into all the joins. Release jack and work the d...

Can't fault your logic , on the order of tackling the sill areas first. It's never good when you find " more rusty bits " but it's always better to find them now and not when you think you've finished. You'll have the satisfaction of knowing it's ALL sorted at the end of the resto. Well do...

Hi Folks , Spotted these whilst browsing a well know website. A bit of rust just below one of the windows ( internal ) side but otherwise looks to be pretty solid. No connection whatsoever with the seller. Just the ticket for those who are trying to source a pair of doors. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm...
