Morris Minor Owners Club

Below is my current set up, I have another manifold to suit a PCV valve installation, would changing to this give better breathing, or at least be worth doing ?

Hope the modifications go to plan, on a personal note, and it’s just my view, it’s not worth it !

Excuse me butting in but this may help

Look at all the fun you’ve missed trying to fit them !

I presume he wants the 8 cwt version, with the heavier steering arm.

You can complicate everything if you try, the above is a fine example !
I think Mr Spigot just wants to check a few electrical things on his Minor.

The grease in question that I have, was manufactured 5 years ago last week ! I took a chance and used it

Well that was a surprise to me. You’re always learning !
Thanks for your post.

I was looking for some general purpose grease today, found some and noticed printed along with other stuff, that it was usable up to 5 years from manufacture date. I didnt know that !! Regarding sealed V open bearings, I’m going for open. Apparently ESM supply ones made by FAG, the sealed ones I hav...

Is this assembly correct ? I haven’t got the manual with me, where I’m working, and foolishly didn’t observe the positioning before dismantling. The left hand spring is not sitting vertically ? I think the shoes are in the correct orientation to each other ? I had a struggle fitting them, is why I’m...

Great, hope it goes well !

The analogue one shown should cover all your everyday needs.

There’s still a few of us left Phil !

Well there’s always something that niggles a bit, I was still thinking of the variation in the bushes but like all things you can worry yourself silly if you let it. Must be nice for the folk that can say ‘sod it that’ll do’ —— but we’re not all built that way !!

Well I think If there were as many e scooters as cars, you’re conclusions may be different.
