Morris Minor Owners Club

Thanks for the replies chaps !

Anybody know of a reasonable Transport company in N/West to quote for shipping a car to Germany ?

Absolutely fabulous ! You must be very proud of achieving a result like that. Well done, it's a credit to you.

Thanks for all your input chaps ! - plenty of good advice there.

Thanks for that BMC. My trav. has 4 Minator's and came with a standard rim / radial tyre as emergency spare.

Hi
Can anybody tell me the tyre size ( radial ) on a standard Minor wheel rim ( late traveller ). My regular supplier is having difficulty cross referencing one to replace my spare.

Hi Etch primer is acid based and is the best base coat to put onto new metal or well cleaned-up rusted areas. A high build primer is as good as any 'next coat' and will help to fill any light scratches - you won't have any reaction with primer. Just be careful if you are using an aerosol, high build...

Hi Dave I was fortunate enough to find that the wood on 'my' traveller was quite sound but needed a major overhaul on the finish to give it a few more years life, without replacement sections. One or two of the members on here gave me sound advice suggesting to invest in Ray Newell's '' Morris Minor...

New window sliders fitted and wood stripped back / bleached ready for new coats of wood preserve / Sikkens Cetol HLS.
Hopefully all done for the middle of the week "![frame][/frame]

Mine also gets used every day. The wife goes to work in her Vauxhall Mokka and I trundle around in my traveller. Wouldn't have it any other way - come rain or shine - as others have said '' that's what they were built for '' and regular use stops it getting arthritis so to speak. Each to their own, ...

I am about to order some of this. The write up on their web site seems to be the ideal thing for Minor Traveller top coats. I have got the old 'gazebo' up and have the first task ( not looking forward to it ! ) of removing the slide windows first to fit new slider channels. De-varnish, bleach, prese...

I had a four door Avenger years ago ( my own fault - I know ! ) and that had 'Mazak' door handles - the 'flap' style, and all four of these snapped off in my hand at different times.

Thanks for the advice and the offer Ian - I have acquired some lengths of ash off an old pair of rear doors I bought for a replacement lock and handle and better glass, so I will be able to use these.
Kind regards, Howard

Thanks Ian - know the glue ( and source ) of Gorilla glue but what sort of ''ash ? ''

Thanks bmcecosse. I haven't got any wood filler as yet. I was referring to the comprehensive write up on the sites 'bodywork' section that mentions Colron Liquid Resin which is suggested is mixed with sawdust for strength. I think in the write up, this is recommended for packing in where the waist r...

I have been following the very comprehensive advice on stripping / refurbishing and finishing traveller wood work ( which is very helpful ). The only thing I can't seem to find anywhere is : Colron Liquid Resin. Does anybody know if this is still available - and if it's labelled as just ' wood fille...

Thanks bmcecosse - It is a full Accuspark conversion kit ( dizzy / leads / coil etc. ) I have set it now at TDC and it has improved it more - but I still think I should do what you have done - slightly advance it til' it pinks and then drop it back a touch. Will try that next. Cheers.

Thanks for the tips guys !

Have just fitted a full Accuspark conversion system and must admit it's a great improvement. However, in higher revs' going through 2nd / 3rd. gear I am getting the odd missed beat. Is it likely that the dizzy' needs advancing ?

Thanks for the good advice chaps !
