Morris Minor Owners Club

Thanks, daveyl - I'll look out for that I hope and trust that it isn't that in this case, because the windscreen rubber was installed following a bare-metal restoration (including a professional paint job) We will see!

PMs exchanged - you're a star, Paul

Thanks very much for your tips, simmitc

I've not been able to find out - could be both - so I'll be sealing round both sides

Thanks, bmc :) I'm following the advice of a chap who has worked a lot on classic car windscreens (he's a professional windscreen fitter). I don't at all fancy taking the whole windscreen out, as I saw how tricky it was to fit it when the professional chap came to replace it after the Beast was rest...

Not garaged, no (I should be so lucky ) and leaving on the 27th for four weeks on the Western Isles. As you can imagine, this has concentrated my mind quite wonderfully on leakproofing the Beast before we leave

Thanks for your speedy replies, guys :) I do know that its possible to do the job with bent wire etc, but as you say the roller is harder to mock up than the diamond wire, and I feel they probably help with what's a bit of a tricky job. As you say, Louise, it's not a job you need to do all that ofte...

Hi everyone :D The Beast's windscreen is leaking - still leaking - after many hours with Captain Tolley's Creeping Crack Cure (stop sniggering at the back). We're going to take out the silver strip to release the inner flange of the windscreen rubber so that we can put a bead of non-setting black wi...

Thank you!

Hello everyone!

The clippy bandy things which hold together the leaves of the rear springs of my van have failed and come off . Does anyone know where I can get new ones? Searches of the ESM and Bullmotif websites are drawing a blank.

Cheers!

Noisekiller is supposed to be the best for this. IIRC they do a range of different types of sheeting, and you can get advice on which type to use on which bit of the car. I think it's self-adhesive. I'd agree, only use underfelt (and indeed carpet!) if you are confident that you've eliminated all th...

Sounds a very interesting project, phurn, and although it's not my bag I wish you many hours of fun with it 8) Seems you are researching it very thoroughly and you have good reasons for using the V6, if this is your dream then stick with it, and just do all the legwork to make sure you minimise any ...

Happy new year everyone, I hope it's your best yet

Merry Christmas everyone, and a very happy and peaceful new year

My builder told me today about a chap round here who got fined and three points on his licence for driving with snow on the roof of his car. You can see the point, but three points seems a tad harsh

What is this "internet" of which you speak?

I have a shrimping net

Hi Philip, welcome to the forum :D Sounds like the company dealt well with this potentially catastrophic failure. I've always expected spares suppliers to limit their responsibility to the cost of a replacement part, and sometimes include the cost of shipping - I wouldn't have expected them to stump...

Helloo lovelies! No, rumours of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. Not dead, not left the forum, just renovating a house in deepest Wales

aupickup - kettle's always on for you

ah, budgie, you'd be even keener if you'd seen the thing, it's an awesome car.

Congrats, Dennis! The Beast passed another MOT first time last month (thanks, Alex!)
