Morris Minor Owners Club

FJ through the club scheme has gone up 25% this year. I have 2 cars 1989 mini & 1969 minor. I contacted them to see if the premium could be reduced if I reduced the mileage as its currently unlimited, or remove the european travel. The person at FJ said no the policy is what it is!!

Hi I have a 45d from Simonbbc fitted with a Lucas Gold sports coil on a 1098cc. I initially timed up as standard 6deg BTDC @ 600 RPM. Car runs fine much smoother but a little flat on accelleration. Just Advance the timing to make sure it doesn't pick under load. PS the vacuum is push-on type I just ...

Anyone know what traders will be there this weekend?

My rally card does not have a rally number on it

Received my rally pack the other day and found all the items that have been located on the printed Google earth map are somewhat misplaced.
The marquee is on top of stanford hall itself! Branch avenue is in the lake and the red spot marked stanford hall is a field!

Basically it could be any or all of these. I replaced all recently and used poly bushes, new shackle pins nuts and replaced front rear spring bushes as well with new pins.
Maybe the leaf springs sagging and becoming 'longer'. hope this may help.

It is possible to adjust the rack by changing the shims. Can't remember which book I saw this in! Unless you really know what you are doing stripping a rack it would probably be best to get a recon rack just a swap over and re-tracking.

I bought Toyo 155x14 off Bull Motif at this years National. 4 for £100. Local tyre dealer fitted all 4 with new valves and balancing for £25. Car handles brilliantly.

Timing at 6 deg BTDC at 600 RPM. May then need to retard for unleaded. Then set idle high enough so the ignition light is not flickering on tick over.

I use Chestnuts Service Garage in crays hill Billericay. 01268 521948. Used them for years MOT tester has minor as well.

Continental WinterContact TS 760 145/80 R14 76T.
Just found these listed on 'Mytyres.co.uk' looks as if they will be suitable for the Minor for all conditions.

Hope to be going if the weather is ok. I live 10mins away!!

The 1st national I attended was in 1993 at Harewood House. Over the years it seems that the rally becomes smaller, less enterants, less traders. We even had live bands playing on the Saturday evening. Are people not supporting the National now as much as they used to? Is there perhaps less things to...
