Morris Minor Owners Club

Or leave it where it is and rearrange the leads

Already discussed, see https://www.mmoc.org.uk/Messageboard/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=71660&p=650736#p650736 I think that this topic title is more descriptive and the other intriguing, so thanks to both contributors for flagging up what is potentially a very useful jig. I'll lock this topic to avoid dupli...

Have you tried Club Spares?

Club spares usually have them avilable.

As I might have written before, if you have twelve traveller owners gathered together then you'll get at least fourteen different answers to any question about woodwork.

It's amazing how many other items "Miss Vanessa" has got listed, all finishing at 12:03 on Saturday, and all such great value. The feedback is really impressive too Given how easy it is to spot, I really don't see why Ebay can't detect this sort of thing with a few algorithms.

Sometimes it's easiest to go back to very basic methods: Remove the spark plugs. Stick your thumb over the No.1 plug hole (1 is nearest the water pump. I'm sure that you know that, but I did once meet someopne who thought that they numbered the other way) and then turn the engine over until you feel...

This was in "Parts for sale", now moved to "Wanted".

Just to clarify:
Did you swap boxes like for like, or did you change the type of box?
What type of engine is it mated to?
Are you using the same gear lever as originally?
Was the previous box OK - why did you swap it?

Many people prefer the look of the earlier steering wheel, but remember that the later one is correct for your vehicle, and the design was changed to improve safety. If you were ever unfortunate enough to be invovled in an accident, then the later wheel collapses whereas the earlier one increases in...

Lockheed/Delphi not the quality that they used to be, but they do at least fit; pattern normally need fettling and/or a big hammer.

Yes, the cross member is removable on your car (unless someone has welded it in place) and as Phil writes, 4 bolts underneath the car facing upwards. These are hex head. Inside the car are lots of cross head brass screws (some new replacements are slotted) holding down the gearbox cover panel. Eithe...

alawrence10360, mogbob stated that ALL Minors had solenoids. Phil and I are saying that they did not, the early cars had cable operated switches that were not solenoids. Hope that clarifies things. There's quite a bit of thread drift here, but it is interesting.

I don't want this to develop into an argument about terminology when what we want to do is to assist the OP, but a definition of a solenoid is "A solenoid is a type of electromagnet, the purpose of which is to generate a controlled magnetic field through a coil wound into a tightly packed helix. The...

Vaseline is an insulator. Clean the posts and inside the clamps, re-attach the clamps, and then smear whole assembly with vaseline to protect against future corrosion - you need good metal to metal contact between the clamps and the posts; but as per my previous post,please advise on your starting a...

If it's a 1955 car then it probably won't have a solenoid. Could you confirm how you start the car: Pull a knob on the dashboard, press a switch on the floor, or turn the key one click for the ignition to come on and then further to make the starter motor work and then the key springs back to the si...

Nothing to do with cars, but in a village in Suffolk, we see a pub that is offering two 2-course meals for £12.00. On a visit to London, we saw a pub offering a single "fish and chips" for £21.00. Conversely, a friend of ours travelled around forty miles on her Oyster card for £3.50, whereas a five ...

The best number to quote is the chassis number, which is on a plate on the bulkhead. The plate will have text such as "Morris Motors Ltd" as well as the stamped chassis number. Are you sure that the first two letters are BM?
