Morris Minor Owners Club

If you are scrapping the old loom (dont, they are a great source of spare cable) then leave the terminals on their components so that you can see the wire colours. then label the spurs off the loom (wiper motor, coil, dynamo etc) putt out all the loom, do the painting and then when refitting, just r...

All (ok, most) Minors are RWD so oversteer is always an option ;) its worth checking all the suspension pickups are solid, all boltwork has been tightened correctly (bolts in bushes tightened when the weight is on them) Check your tyre pressures, minors are very light so they are succeptable to wron...

Hi all, Saw a traveller going south on the A34 earlier this week with a load of wood on the roof rack. I was in the dark Grey golf that overtook you and waved over the roof.

If it was you

HELLO

Hello from near J16!

the copper is also useful to fill gaps if you have cut a panel short. Take the time to polish it to a bright shine to avoid any sticking.

For a cheeper option you can use flattened copper pipe but its not as good

Ill have to check that out thanks.

Any more pics?

My advise is that once you have a compressor, you will find more and more uses for it. Go for the biggest you can afford and accomodate. Some of the big ones can draw an awful lot of current so its worth checking that your wiring is up to scratch and will take the load. Screw drive are very quiet bu...

You know when you get to that stage of a build and you are starting to loose your mo-jo? Do you have any pics that you look to for inspiration? There have been so many fantastic minors over the years, has anyone got any build up pics of any of them? Lets see what keeps you motivated, and what your w...

Hi I have just read your whole tread and really like your plans I only have one question are you planning on using that Cora fuel filter once all put together?? Just that I put a Audi 2.8 v6 30v into an anglia with my friend but he used a fiesta fuel filter but it was restricting the fuel flow and ...

... Speaking of the exhaust.... Ive been out there again :D I found this on Ebay and spent the princely sum of 99p!

cheers for the input Steve,

Im hoping that the oil filter will clear but I dont have any wheels to mock up yet so im a bit nervous!

The exhaust has plenty of room, its all on the drivers side

right then... ive been a bit quiet recently. Time for an update. Ive been doing a fair bit of tinkering and lots more theory on some stuff to make sure that I've got all mt ducks in a row (so to speak) I have spent a fair amount of time on the coolant system recently. Still to do (on the coolant sys...

If you test your first welds that look fine by walloping with a hammer its amazing when the joint just falls apart as thers no strength or weld penetration but youll soon learn when you have a good weld. You can then do your first structural repairs. another good test is to listen whilst grindong. ...
