Morris Minor Owners Club

yes mate, had a suck on the pipe and the plate moved but only with a hard suck, i had it running and couldn't feel a hard sucking on my finger, do you reckon this could be worth a go?, i thought the same but the symptoms are more like it literally won't rev really holds back, foot down coughs and st...

tried all these except the timing, i am waiting on some points, condensor etc and i was going to do the timing, emissons etc then. hopefully that will sort it, but i'm not convinced it will, i'm sure its fuel, but i won't know till i tune it, i may have a quick look at the float, needle, but to be h...

hi all a quick one traveller 1970, sweet as a nut on idle, drive down the road, 3000rpm starts holding back/hesitating, you can slowly drive through it but i am sure its fuel, carb fault, checked all the basics, vac unit, plugs (black,too rich), points condensor etc, also it has a mechanical fuel pu...

john, whats that g3 stuff like? easy/good to use? did you use it just on old paintwork? or have you used it on improving new paintwork? is it fairly coarse? i am interested to know.
cheers

It depends alot on the type of paint you have on your car for what type of sponge, obviously firmer type sponges are used on harder 2k type paints, and softer ones on softer paint for example cellulose, i painted my car in 2k and moped it with a pink sponge, and used fine cutting 3m paste but i soak...

yes i am sure you are right, i done the wood frames on one last year and i don't think there is any getting around it, but you never know, if its got to come off so be it, i think possibly i may get away with just taking one side off, however i don't want to distort the roof, cheers all the same.

Hi all, i have the rear of my traveller, i need to change the rear post, i am sure i am going to have to have the guttering, roof off to access the rear top rail and top of the post, however i would like to avoid touching the guttering if possible. Has anyone managed to do this job properly without ...

Thanks for your help fellas, bmc i knew you would know how to do this! i suppose the aggro side of it is getting good wheel cylinders!
cheers

Hi all, could you please advsie me on fitting 9'' front brake drums to a standard minor? are they a straight swap or do i need to change backplate etc? any advice much appreciated.
Thanks

thats the one, i will have a look through the sender hole and see if i can see anything.
perhaps i could get a secondhand one, but i have had my fingers burnt buying things secondhand for these before, they could be worse than what i already have!
cheers

Hi all, i think i need a fuel tank, has anyone here had a problem with a salon that won't start due to fuel, basically i have taken the fuel line off at the tank end and the tube that goes inside the tank to the swirl pot, feels loose i poked a screwdriver in the end and its moving about a bit, does...

I have ordered a new points one from bull motif, as for not having problems with them i have 2 that are knackered!!!,
i think its when they haven't been used and laid up for a while.
thanks all

Hey mate, i see you have been tearing into the car, glad to see the corrosion isn't that bad, bad luck with the engine looks like it was well corroded together, hone it and measure it you may be able to save the bores, as for the wood i have changed bits and pieces before but obviously you can have ...

That says it all!!!!!

I make you right, i just don't want to be whacking it if it won't work! £62 plus vat at bull motif is a fair price.
cheers

Hi all i am currently in the market for a fuel pump, i am leaning towards an electronic one, however the standard points type is about a £10 cheaper to be quite honest i am happy to pay the extra £10, i just wanted a bit of feedback from anyone who has fitted these, are they really good? good value?...

Hi all, it has the vin plate and reg plates on it at the moment, as far as i can tell it is all original, i applied for the v5 but the dvla said i have to get it verified by the club, not sure if i am going to keep it yet i am doing another traveller and do not have the space or time, i am yet to gi...

Hi i have recently bought a split screen traveller, which has been of the road for approx 40 years, i am trying to work out its age it has an a series engine, trafficators, white speedo, it has a numbered plate, i am not sure who to ask specifically on here, can anyone point me in the right directio...

I hear what you are saying mate,i work professionally in the motor trade and i have seen far,far worse that people have paid for!I just thought some of the comments where over the top, i am a tester aswell and if those repairs where seam welded they would be fine for the test, and lets be honest a l...

southerly keep trying and practicing mate,like the others suggest perhaps practice on the bench with scrap also may i suggest you adjust your settings, it looks like you may need more gas and possibly less wire, completely fill the holes when you weld also listen for the crackle, you clearly need mo...
