Morris Minor Owners Club

I am restoring a 1969 van anyone recommend where I can buy steel wings from in the uk at a reasonable price. £600 a pair seems steep wish I had bought a garage full when they were £50

1964 Van 10098 was running prior to engine swap. Put a midget 1275 engine in with alternator and accuspark electronic ignition. Can I just confirm where the black and red distributor cables go. Fuel pump works but has a brown/green wire as opposed to a white wire as per manual. How should the regula...

I'd love to help but, I have a tatty old 2 door in maroon and I'm not sure the wedding dress would fit in lol. Maybe try the local branch of Morris Minor owners club who maybe able to help. Best regards Darren

Good luck my first car was a morris nearly 30 years ago and I have still got one lol. You fall in love with them. There's plenty of advice and help on here but you must try and join a local club which is very worthwhile. Best regards Darren

Philthehill what a star you are, after 2 months of messing about, gearbox out change thrust bearing etc found out that I needed to take a couple of mill out of the gearbox where the fork comes throug, I now have a working clutch. Thanks so much for your help, I would not have thought using midget en...

Thank you for your reply which thrust bearing did you use, I have just bent the adjuster rod that passes through the release fork.

Okay so I purchased a hydraulic clutch conversion, same result clutch does not quite disengage have the car on jacks and prop shaft still turns and first and reverse crunches when selected so it would appear the clutch is not quite releasing. Any ideas? I have a 1275 engine 1275 gearbox and clutch a...

So I've extended the clutch relay and I have no more adjustment on the Morris mechanical clutch, the clutch is much better but not quite realising the clutch. Do I need a deeper thrust bearing, I have a midget thrust bearing in at the moment.

If you look under the section techinical there is full instructions.

I took my gearbox out, midget 1275 engine midget gearbox put a Morris minor fork and midget thrust bearing. Fitted gearbox used Morris minor clutch pedal, still no clutch, do you need to use a different thrust bearing?

Thank you For your reply I shall take gearbox out and put minor fork in I guess I should use the midget thrust bearing.

I have a midget gearbox and midget fork using mechanical Morris 1098 clutch fitting but can't get the clutch to work any ideas or pictures would be great.

I had exactly the same problem thought it was fuel evaporation after trying everything changed the rotar arm and hey presto turned out the bakerlite in the rotar arm was faulty.

I have a midget 1275 engine, clutch and gearbox. Any ideas how I modify the clutch fork to work with the minor pedal, I do not have a hydraulic clutch. Thanks for your help.

So how can you use the midget clutch fork with the Morris minor pedal?

I have a car towing frame or I hire a car trailer for a day

trunion pin ?? i will have to look for this any clue as to where it can be found, i am also assuming that this may be the reason i am having diffivulty in getting the tracking correct. thanks once again

That's odd then because the bottom trunion is absolutely tight and will not go any further, where you have a shoulder between the threads, the trunion will not go beyond the bottom thread, lots of head scratching.

thanks for your help, both sides were off but i do have another morris. The trunions on my old morris seem to be fully screwed so you cant see any thread, the new trunions will seem to leave the top thread exposed, how far should the bottom trunion screw up to.

Thank you for your help, are you referring to when the bottom trunion is screwed to the kingpin,a or are you referring to when the assembly is fixed to the car that the angle must be wrong.
