Morris Minor Owners Club

You can knock the pins out by putting the hinge on the edge of a vice, then using a hammer and nail punch
I think the pins only knock out from one side only

Hi guys, I have now changed the front brakes to fiesta xr2 drilled and grooved discs their a wee bit bigger,(looks good too) :lol: And I've also got the fiesta servo fitted it has 2 reducer valves on it that stops lock up and you can stand on the brakes at 80 to 0 mph and the back doesn't lock up. B...

I used the standard minor hubs but machined them so the fiesta
disc fits onto the hub, then drilled the discs to minor stud pattern
then made a bracket to hold the caliper easy It only took a
couple of hours

Hi guys, I've got disc brakes on the front and the back of my car,I made the kit myself easy! Fiesta discs and calipers on front, fiesta discs and Granada calipers I had to machine the halfshafts and make up some brackets :lol: I did the whole lot for £95 And this car has the best brakes i've ever h...

My Morris fitted with 2l twincam FAILED it's MOT today on not having
a rubber cover on the brake pedal!! But that's not bad for car that's
only done 350 miles in a year And yes it's only a visual smoke test

steven

Welcome karen,
I got my wheels from Demon Tweeks and were quite expensive. But you could change the stud pattern to ford
that'll give you more of a choice of wheel depends on your budget

Hi mark,
Get yourself an iPhone!! They'll be an app on it to remote start
your Morris or get someone else to start it for you while
your getting your cup of tea in the morning
steven

Yeehaa!! well done
steven

You shouldn't have to run the engine to bleed the brakes, I've never herd of that one. Sounds it's likely to be air in the pipe that runs to the back. You should try clamping the pipe over the back axle, then bleed the front brakes. Try pedal. Then clamp off the front brakes and one of your back bra...

Hi mark,
Did you get the p m I sent you don't know if I hit the right button.

Cheers steven

Hi,
I had the same problem on my Morris, Fiesta discs and Fiesta
master servo. You blead the brakes over & over and still nothin,
turned out to be a leak in the master cylinder! Answer replaced
it with a new one Have you tried pressurising the system!
It might help you
steven

Yeah, and that's the good side!! It was a sad day when that happened, but you learn by your mistakes.
It's going to be a good year methinks I'll try to get to as many shows as i can
Cheers steven[frame][/frame]

Hi Mark,
Is there still room on the stand for another Morris or is
the stand full.

Steven

I've herd the saying, it's that clean you can eat your dinner
off it but I've never seen it done.
Well done your hands must be sore with polishing!
Hope it goes aswell as it looks

Hi rossrox, You will be surprised how good a Morris will look even by just changing the wheels and lowering it a couple of inches. Even in standard paint. Check out my car in Retro Cars magazine you don't have to go wild to have a nice, good looking car that you've built 8) keep up the good work :lo...

Sweet,
What a brilliant idea,lot of work but worth it in the end.
Pitty about the roof chop but saying that it makes it look beafy!
It'll be nice with a better set of wheels, he should keep the
almond green paint
steven

Aright mate, I've been following your progress on your car well done so far, not so keen on roof chop but the rest sounds great. But if your still keen on chopping then go to the Custom&Modified and look for Crazy Wing mods, my pal found it on the net . Hope this gives you some ideas :D steven 8)
