Morris Minor Owners Club

spotted a nice looking black convertible coming the opposite way to me today in st helens, just outside the fire station in parr...anyone on here? they waved back!

i'll be there with the manchester branch!

i also use a tracker in my minor but it is a purpose built unit which uses a pay as you go sim card which only spends money when you want to know where it is, i can also disable my car by sending a text message to it which will disable either the ignition or the fuel pump dependant on how you wire i...

its time to revive this thread! this car is still in the project stage but everything has changed!! the other car took priority but now that one is done so i have no excuse! https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-SwiS1xcofLs/UM70BcUpCMI/AAAAAAAAAN4/GwSfPPuZZl0/s704/IMG-20120923-00110.jpg so anyway now t...

nice work do you want to fit mine when the doors painted

its probably the threaded plates on the outer leg catching on the lock or the winder mechanism on the window maybe? it can be quite a struggle...i managed to get one frame out along with the window in the frame but the other had to come out with the window in the door. you may find you have to tilt ...

Welcome to the forum =] nice and shiny very nice 8) being a young member like myself you can join the facebook group http://www.facebook.com/groups/MMOCYM/ you can get alot of advice and help and everyone helps eachother when parts are needed or if you need that extra hand :D goodluck with the rebui...

Ive had the same problem....ive found that if you sand down the back edge of the sunvisor it becomes a better fit around the screen and the brackets should just about clamp onto the gutters with a slight bend to the fibre glass but dont tighten the bolts too much as you can crack the fibre glass and...

As above satnavs are really accurate but using a truck is a good guide aswell...most trucks are restricted to 54mph so if you find one thats overtaking its almost a guarantee that they're on the limiter and as has been said, the trucks use tachographs which have to be calibrated/checked every 2 year...

Well i suppose its better than the crusher, which museum was this??

from personal experience, gasless welders are only good for thicker gauge metal but so long you are careful not to burn through and have a good 40 grit flap disc on a grinder it should turn out ok. as for the polarity - gasless welders use a positive earth and negative torch, this is generally chang...

progress made today, patches welded into engine bay, kidney panel repaired and hinge cover welded on

Follow the link and there is three on that page and some on pages 10 and 11

Thinking about it if you like to have a tall ride height you could make a minor landy hybrid

thats quite a good idea, i think i may change the carb and rockers for now and i'll port the original head, put some hardened valve seats in and run it for a while then change the head or even just chuck a 1275cc in there in say 2/3 years.

cheers

as others are putting theirs up i thought i would too
this is with everything removed and the paint mostly stripped[frame][/frame]

just thought i would give a little update, i have now got a 1098cc engine and gearbox. engine bay completely stripped of everything including the paint - two patches to be welded in boot floor cut to be replaced with strong metal offside rear spring hanger is going to be replaced, didnt look very ni...

Well tim, As ive only recently got a minor i dont know it all but i know enough as to tell you that the minor is probably one of the easiest cars to get parts for whether its original or customised. There are many parts suppliers such as JLH MINORS, ESM, BULL MOTIF, CHARLES WARES etc. If you do deci...

I must say that looks like you got a great buy, mine was twice the cost with probably 5x as much welding needed. Are you keeping it the same colour? or doing something exotic :D the total spend is really good idea and will be quite interesting to see what happens, don't forget labour costs :lol: Goo...

Erm well for starters im pretty sure that there aren't any bells on the bottom of minors and certaintly not a skeletonb

Unless it was an optional extra

Hello all,

My question is, when fitting the rear arch flange repairs...can i braze the flanges on or do i have to weld them on?

Thanks in advance
Gareth
