Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi,
Some more photo's of the rally for you................ [frame][/frame]

Thanks for your help.
Mike.

Hi, I feel I must respond to this article, which basically says that statistically men are worse drivers than women: Over the last eight months I have had three rear end shunts in my Minor and on each occasion the person who drove into the back of me was a woman!! (Sorry girls) On each occasion I wa...

Hi, Just a quick question, does anyone know if minor Medics is still in business in Milton Keynes? I drove round there the other day and it seemed very shut, with no old minors parked outside anymore. The phone number seems to be constantly giving the engaged tone?? Though this could mean they are r...

Hi, Thanks for your response, yes, I have ford vented discs at the front, already fitted. I have all the bits (I hope!!) to do this, as I bought the kit off David Manners Morris Minor Centre in Birmingham. I just thought it would be good to sound out others, who had experience of doing this, as dri...

[b]Interesting, as I tried this first as I had a T piece already and the gauge wouldn't work with it (the T piece wasn't blocked), though it now works fine on it's own.....

Hi, With regard to oil pressure gauges (and indeed other classic look gauges) I have now taken the above advice and fitted one supplied by: http://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/INSTRUMENTS-/-GAUGES-SMITHS-CLASSIC/c1_271/index.html I chose a 'Smiths' electronic gauge and bought the corrisponding electr...

Thanks very much for the info.
Best wishes. Mike.

Hi, Can somebody tell me what this other feed is for? I know that the fuel feed goes into the swirl chamber; there is a small nozzle with a black rubber cap over it at present (just visible in the picture poking up at the front) which I believe is for the vacuum; so what attaches to this other outl...

Hi, I was reading the latest issue 'Mailbag' section and spotted two enquiries about former family Minors. As I was on the internet at the time I thought I'd have a quick check on the DVLA site, as I read so many of these 'can you help us find' appeals in various classic publications but never see ...

mmmm.............. Food for thought indeed. I think I shall try traveller springs to see if they sort my problem first, as you say they are a direct fit....

Hi, Is it possible to upgrade the suspension on the rear of my saloon by using replacement leaf springs for a Traveller (7 Leaf) or even the heavy duty van ones (8 Leaf) (or are they too long to fit into the existing fixing points??). I regularily have a full boot and carry well fed (:lol:) adults ...

Hi, My problem is that when I depress the clutch the oil light comes on, yet when I blip the throttle it goes out again. This problem seems to be worst when the engine has warmed up. I have had a mechanic listen to it and he said it sounded ok, so I have purchased a new oil pressure switch online (h...

Hi, Can anyone tell me where I might lay my hands on a clutch alignment tool for a Minor and how much it will cost me??
Many thanks. Mike.<br><br>

Hi, I am looking to do the 5 speed conversion myself, partially because I think my gearbox / clutch are heading west (well the old girl is 46 years old now :) ) and partially because I would like a smoother gearchange as she gets regular use. Could you tell which Escort you sourced your propshaft fr...

Thanks very much. Mike.

Hi, Just a quick question about the manifold: Is the exhaust manifold off a 1098cc engine the same size / fit as one off a 948cc engine? Thanks. Mike.
