Morris Minor Owners Club

Not done it on a standard morris for a while, but to get the Suzuki engine out, I find it's easiest to get in on a winch undo the gearbox cross member and engine mounts and roll the car back. .....crap just burnt me toast and those were the last two bits. This forum is no good to read whilst you nee...

Hi, just a quick question regarding fuel tank senders if anyone has any idea. I have a 56 split so one of the last ones. With the supercharged project i need to modify my tank with fuel returns etc, im thinking of going with one of them large capacity esm jobbies. AT the mo, i have a modified triump...

Yeah that's true

Okay cool, did you go down the getting smaller glass cut route yourself?

Aeon something or other ( I think the owners club pushes this one)

Then after being modified

Hi folks. im enquiring at a custom windscreen place about a modern heated type windscreen with the clear heater matrix inside the glass for the series 2 morris minor. Need to do a cad drawing for it and im slightly resizing by a few mm (have read people have done this with success) it so it fits the...

What actually happened to Jonathan from jlh on this forum?

Ifs it's any use, I've had a very modified morris since I was around 19 and my insurance has never been over £400 with it parked on a drive.

Anyone got any pics of escort mk2 axle on morris showing what's wheels they've gone for so I can tell stance etc. I want just some cheap stealies off something from the scrappy to keep the project rolling, but just curious what to look for. I'd like 16" but 15" ain't too big an issue as th...

Really? I know fwd is better in ice but other then that I couldn't think of pros. Though I suppose you are sitting on a spinning piece of metal?

I thought nowadays the reason why most things are fwd is because it's cheaper for the manufacturer not necessarily because it's better?

Fair enough I thought it would probably be easiest to do that, was just trying to figure out if I could buy a twenty quid prop shaft with the right ends for them to utilise cos when I provided them it cost about £85. That's a nice looking mog, what you runnning in it? Was your prop type 9 to escort ...

Hi, anybody know the details of prop shaft for type 9 Sierra box to ford mk2 escort diff?I used proptech on my Suzuki to morris prop but I had both the respective ends so Simply measured the gap cut the ends off i needed and gave it to him. Just wondered if an escort prop fits the type 9 etc so I ju...

Yeah, I'm farming out the machining and block build, but everything else is being figured out by me, then passed around a few automotive engineering friends, before I do it! I'll open a thread when I start the build, still acquiring bits, but the ultimate goal is to try and figure a multi point inje...

I'm past that and no where near done! Ha ha oh god I feel ill

But you can't go sideways on gravelly drives???

What ever happened to this? Why the strip down of parts?

I'd be really interested to see some pics of your motor, as this is the kind of power I'm gonna be playing with would be interested in your feedback re other mods, suspension etc. I'm going mk2 back axle for half shaft strength and diff ratio and then ford discs on the front for pcd match and availa...

Cheers guys 130bhp, how have you gone about that? Is that the bottom of a weber for starts ican see? That's the kind of figures I'm looking at with super charger.

If its on three wheels they're gonna struggle to run off with it. Take your rotor arm out so you'll here the car turning over which could alert you. Failing that, I hate to say it but if they want it and three wheels doesn't put them off they'll have it. You've got cameras and you could invest in so...
