Re: looking for my Grandads Morris Minor

Number rings a bell so may have seen it around East Anglia. Being an ENG registered car it came originally from Norfolk. Was it still in Norfolk when you grandfather owned it and sold it? If so you could contact the three Norfolk MMOC branches to see if it is owned by one of their members and possib...

Re: Side valve water jacket

met an Aussie Series E owner last week who has an MM block in his E and he told me he was getting some water jackets made up in Oz, albeit without the dynamo brackets, for about $30. Asked him to see if they could also make with the brackets. Hopefully he will remember and contact me when he gets ba...

Re: H1 Carburettor seal replacement

Re: MM GEAR KNOBS ARE MADE OF RUBBER !!!

Wasnt aware that earlier S11's had a ball shaped gearknob. I thought they all had the mushroom shaped rubber ones. My 53 Traveller came with a rubber one.

MM GEAR KNOBS ARE MADE OF RUBBER !!!

Anyone looking for a gearknob for their MM should be aware that many advertised as being MM gearknobs are not the correct ones. The correct MM gearknob was made of rubber and perished easily hence the shortage of good secondhand ones.The bakelite ones with the number 19437 stamped on the underside ...

Re: MM Gear knob on Ebay

The bakelite one as currently listed on ebay comes from either a Morris 8 Series E or a 10 M. Same shape and style as the rubber MM one. Have used several of these over the years as slightly easier to find than the correct rubber ones but heavier so tend to get vibrations from the gear lever.

Re: MM Gear knob on Ebay

Definitely not an original MM one nor is it the bakelite Series E one either so probably not even Morris.

FOUND IN SWEDISH SCRAPYARD

By chance discovered an overgrown woodland scrapyard whilst in Sweden last week and found a few Morris cars including 2 1953/4 Series 11s, an MO and an Oxford Traveller but I think they are all well past repair and very little left on them.

Re: Brass bottom hose section

Have plenty of the correct bottom hoses to go with the brass/copper pipe in the MMOC stocks. If you can find someone to make a batch of the pipes we could consider financing it through the club. If not I have used Series11 bottom hoses with a small right angled piece of metal piping in the past. Bry...

Re: Thefts at Cornbury Park

The thefts at Donnington were certainly by outsiders, I don't think the scrap value of Minor wings or exhausts is going to be high enough to attract even the most desperate of tea leaves. Bring back the stocks for the next national! Excellent idea! If someone can make them I will ask all the trader...
