Re: Mirrors
On the subject of mirrors, I find the wing mirror not too bad but the current ones on the car are not as good as the originals which were on when I bought it in 1978. Instead of the quadrant type arms they are almost 'S' shaped and take the lenses further out. I have looked at auto jumbles and on li...

Re: Start of rear repair first timer
Possibly unwise to paint the piping as the paint can crack. Attaching the wing loosely will allow paint to get into the joint area ready for piping after painting.

Re: Start of rear repair first timer
Just a thought, The car looks Clarendon Grey. Do not be tempted to chuck out the rear wing piping, no matter how squashed or compressed it might be. It is no longer available and although only a total nerd (me) would notice, the other greys or even black, simply do not look as good. If anyone knows ...

Re: Can anybody help to find my first love
Try also the MMO FB site (Not the same as MMOC) and Morris Minor Owners Community FB site. Many on these are not MMOC members it would appear, although there will be some crossover.

Re: which carpet kit should I buy
Originals had no trim around the outside and the modern ones lack the toe pad protector on the gearbox tunnel. I have a couple of these (original) if anyone wants one.

Re: Electric Fuel Pump SU v Hardi
The Hardi is, in my experience, much noisier than the SU and has a tendency to overheat and fail. Nor is it particularly cheap.

Re: Which is the exact model in the attached picture?
But.... and I know they are easily removable .... the hubcaps appear to have the centra; 'M' stamped in which was a Series II feature.

Re: Hello!
N - VE is a Cambridgeshire issued plate and issued March to November 1955. Although possible, it is unlikely that this is an age-related plate and more likely an original as the former tend to be from counties / areas which had not used their allocation ie some Scottish areas. A beautiful looking ca...

Re: Intermittent Misfire (distributor rotor)
Thanks. Mine was fitted by BL in Coventry to a 948 cc gold seal in 1979 so likely a later Valve.

Re: Intermittent Misfire (distributor rotor)
Where did you get the PCV diaphragm please. Mine in my 1957 car may well need changing after 40 odd years.

Re: Passenger glove box lid insert?
Guildbass asks an interesting question. Do the chrome surround lids fit the later - and indeed earlier - apertures? I have always been told that the dashboard did not change in terms of basic pressing from October 1956 (Likely October 1954, later Series II) to the end of production. Changes were sim...
