Good luck with the repair.

Spot on, thanks for the insight.

Couldn't make out if there should a bush in the clutch operating fork where the rod feeds through, any idea?
Thanks

You may find this video helpful https://youtu.be/ScloEDuLI_w Come to adjust mine today and found the reason for excessive free play that was getting worse. The adjusting nut and locknut could be turned with your fingers :roll: Self adjusting clutch :lol: Once the play was adjusted the locknut was p...

The snapping of the release rod is not an uncommon occurrence. There is enough flexibility built into the operating linkage to accommodate some degree of mis-alignment. The release arm moves in a arc and for the link to operate correctly a special nut with a convex/spherical face is used and which ...

I would simply replace it.

Thank you.

I think it is simply hanging down where it snapped. It should be straight, looky here: https://www.morrisminorspares.com/clutch-c15/clutch-all-models-c18/clutch-adjusting-rod-p829548 I would simply replace it. Agree but I am assessing whether the threaded end of the rod should be exposed/visible be...

Thanks for your reply.
I wish I knew but the components were fitted before my ownership.
I'm trying to find a stock photo.

Hi All, The clutch adjusting rod has snapped on my 1968 Minor 1000. I notice that the rod itself is not lying horizontal, there is a tilt at the threaded end. Images attached. Should there be a tilt? If not does it mean that the part the threaded end goes through is too short or maybe fitted incorre...

Hi, Using this thread as I have a related question. Does anyone the MMOC have a solution for sourcing a brake fluid reservoir tank/kit for use with silicone brake fluid, if so would you be able to help me in sourcing a supplier of a similar kit please? :) I would really like to continue benefiting f...

Hi guys in the process of fitting front discs,servo and a new m/c with a remote reservoir and new brake pipes is it worth using silicone brake fluid or stick to dot4 ? Hi, Following up on your thread as I have a similar question. Did you ever manage to fit a brake fluid reservoir tank for use with ...

steering wheel with cracks filled an rubbed down, rps20170619_212324.jpg primed, painted and fitted to the car. rps20170623_093433.jpg Also blasted and painted the rusty headlining hoops, found the clips for the front board so I have everything to fit this now. rps20170623_093548.jpg Also fitted an...

Good to know, thanks all.
Any tips on where to source a decent quality Wolseley 1500 steering wheel with horn push ?

Sorry I'm not clear.
My Minor is registered 1968 but the wheel is for up to late 1964 vehicles.
If this is correct how will it fit a later Minor 1000 ?

Thanks

Hello,

Would a Wolsely 1500 steering wheel fit a 1968 Minor 1000 ?
They look similar to the pre 1963 Minor steering wheel but alot cheaper and more available.

Thanks

Once your Plusgas ( works for me every time ) arrives , build a " little wall " out of Blutac around the exposed studs. This will stop a lot of the Plusgas just dribbling down the outside of the housing .The apertures in the housing/ studs will be surrounded by a " little pool "...

I did try the flushing prior to the disassemble.
Ok, thanks.

I'll post a wanted ad for a recon head.

Thanks for the quick reply and advice. Sounds like the 2 rear cylinders were not receiving adequate coolant at high engine temperatures. I have tried a flushing agent but the holes still show orange crud. Is there a manual technique I could use try to clean up the crudded ports ? Obviously no use of...

Hi All, After removing the cyclinder head on my 1098cc engine there are a couple of observations. I would welcome your experienced input. 1. The engine block water channels are badly blocked with an orange coloured substance. 2. The 2 bores at the radiator end of the engine block contain a crusty oi...

Did you buy Dinitrol and Zeibart from a UK supplier ?

Thanks in advance,
