Morris Minor Owners Club

It used to be called Brushing Belco.

He’s probably still fiddling with it, these things take time ! ———I’m sure he’ll let us know when it fits

I think you need to satisfy yourself on that one, you might like to consider how strong the smell is, whether you paint outside for ventilation or indeed how much you are doing. Nothing wrong with wearing a mask but you can go overboard sometimes. However the question suggests you’d be happier weari...

Possibly like watching snooker on the box before colour TV.

Yes just realised I’d posted earlier !

Can anyone tell me what the trick is here ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Morris-Minor ... SwjN5fuRJm

Maybe not a saloon but I think they featured a pickup a while back.

I just typed out a very depressing post, so depressing in fact, that I couldn’t submit it !!

Needed or not, a thoughtful idea.

The point being, they wouldn’t be as full ! Bikes are smaller than 4x4s.
I’ll keep my bike; I don’t like queuing for the shops, let alone on the roads.
There’s a lot of anti bike feeling.

Would anyone really want to drive a car in 2030, electric or not. The roads are full up now ! Motorcycles are the answer but the government seem anti bike for some reason.

Maybe clearance for suspension, no idea really!

Looks like that engine has had a rough life. Check it out carefully, you might figure on another lump to spend cash on.

The character of it all was all taken for granted then. It’s only now looking back, that you wished you’d taken more notice. Things might be more efficient now, I say might! but where’s the Quality? I wonder if the next wave of humanity will look back on today with similar sentiments. Of course they...

I agree, starting handle issue is another story.

It’s worth mentioning to keep your thumb the same side of the handle as fingers. I’m surprised that no previous poster has highlighted this, as now there might be people thinking of trying this method of starting, who are not aware of this precaution.

I have an appropriate one to follow that. Seen on the back of a Transit van, during the panic buying months back.——No Toilet rolls left in this van overnight.

With that in mind, in engineering terms a thread should protrude just over the length of the screw/ bolt diameter. If the factory worked with this in mind, the length can be worked out ! If they didn’t ——- they were wrong

Unless I’m misunderstanding this, is the length critical? As long as the the thread exits the nut by 3 or so mm that would be fine.

Had to install some anti blur software to read the words, interesting story.
