Morris Minor Owners Club

How does that help a guy who hates spending?

This thread is confusing me, earlier in the month you did say He (meaning your car) has got a loom to go with him to a new owner. That’s what prompted my suggestion that you might get a refund on the loom. Apparently there is no loom. The plot thickens

Oh I thought you’d already bought the loom.

If you don’t intend fitting the loom, you could possibly get a refund from the supplier.

You may have beaten me to a bargain or two!!

I don’t use spring washers in this application, just plain ones but as Phil mentioned if you use want to use spring washers put the plain ones on first.

Exchange & Mart ! Every Thursday morning my dad was in the paper shop first thing.

This is a typical master cylinder for comparison

I don’t know the numbers but there are various strengths, ie medium, high, etc. I wouldn’t use the strong variety in fact I wouldn’t use any on the nuts you mention. In fact I would give the threads a smear of copper grease. It’s unusual for the nuts to come loose.

Yes that’s where it fails for me. Thanks for trying it.

I can’t attach pictures no matter how small the file is, is it me or the forum?

When you fix the crossmember issue, you would do well to take the opportunity to source some original parts and put that linkage arrangement back to standard.

The crossmember problem can be better fixed by dropping a 6mm plate, (covered in grease or similar) with the appropriate threaded holes, into the chassis leg, after removing the remaining nut retaining cages ( the bottom of the leg needs to be flat and clean) The torsion bar can be levered to give c...

Well I never, when I recently suggested we might see your car for sale soon ——- you said never, and told me to get stuffed ! . Never say never !

They look like block capitals.

I hear what you’re saying Pete, thanks.

Keep your peaks, it’s your car, just because I and others don’t like the things shouldn’t worry you. A lot of threads go off subject and in doing so can be quite interesting. You shouldn’t be so sensitive about it, and as for a recent post of yours, now rightly removed, well that was downright rude....

They look pretty flimsy so hopefully would fold up if hit but I feel the same as Roy did.

In your initial thread you said the threads looked different, knowing that, I’m surprised you fitted that particular adapter. Doing so would at least have caused that leak and probably had something to do with the breakage.

From memory it comes out the other way, I think there is a circlip to be removed.
