Morris Minor Owners Club

Thanks Phil. Will do.

You are correct Phil, I hadn’t fitted the lower bump stop rubbers. I have now.
Am I correct in thinking that It is normal to have to use a jack to lift it up to connect the steering rack and the tie bar?

IMG_1054jpeg IMG_1055.jpeg I have just installed the steering rack and now need to attach the track rod ends. However the track rod ends are sitting 5 inches higher than the steering levers. I could put a jack under the suspension arms but I’m afraid that when I take the jack away it will put too m...

Thanks Phil

I need to change gaskets on my 1965 Morris Minor and am not sure if I should fit them dry or smear them with something.

The gaskets in question are:

1. The cork gasket for the thermostat
2. The manifold gasket.

Advice would be appreciated.

Thank you. Much appreciated.

Thank you for your responses. I was hoping someone could tell me how many milli litres to put in.

Hi
could you tell me how much oil to put in the steering rack as it says not to overfill.
Thanks

Thank you gents. Great advice as usual Phil.

Sorry Pete, you've already said I can.

Can I use the same oil in the diff and the steering gear?

Thank you for your responses.

Hi I’m preparing my steering rack before installing and have a few queries please: 1 In a video I saw online someone had put grease on the rack but I don’t think it is necessary. Am I right? 2 What is the best oil to use? 3 The manual says don’t overfill, no more than 10 strokes of an oil gun. I hav...

Thank you Phil. Much appreciated.

IMG_0756.jpeg IMG_0757.jpeg Thank you Phil for your answer regarding the oil filter seal. Can I be a pain and ask for further reassurance regarding the cork seal. As shown in the photos the cork seal protrudes so much more than the original one and I’m afraid it will bend over rather than compress ...

Hi Phil
Thank you for your message. Which of the two oil filter seals should I use please?

IMG_0753.jpeg IMG_0751.jpeg IMG_0754.jpeg Help needed again please. The cork gaskets for the sump are wider than the ones taken off. I know I have to cut them to length but do I need to cut them to the correct width as well (surely not) or has the original one compressed with time (but they seem so...

Thank you so much Phil. I will check the measurement tomorrow.

IMG_0697.jpeg Hi Some help please. I’ve fitted the suspension on both sides and there is a large gap in the upper swivel pin link. According to the manual this should be 2 thou. I can’t tighten one end because the castle nut would go in too much for the split pin. The nut on the other end is alread...

Thanks Phil. I'll re-order the neoprene type.
Thank you for your advice Stephen.
