Morris Minor Owners Club

Thanks for the replies. My only fear is fire, anything else would be repairable. I just cannot see how I could just go out with £10k and buy another in the same condition.

Anyway I am talking with RH Specialist Insurance and an agreed value is looking better.

Dave, just bite the bullet and drill a new hole, if you start with a small sharp drill bit it wont take more than a few minutes and at least you will have the piece of mind that nothing is going to drop off as you drive along.

I have tried to insure my newly restored pickup with Footman James. I filled in the condition form, sent photos and sent a valuation from Wildae Restorations Ltd. (Not the company that restored it) They have indicated that a Value of £25000 for insurance purposes. The letter from FJ says to resubmit...

It would only take a couple of minutes to drill a hole and put in a pin. Peace of mind and all that!

There Must be different versions.
Just had a look and both the traveller and the pickup have split pins.
It is really something that does not want to come undone while driving around.

I have had the pickup back for a couple of weeks. Rich was not able to finish all the works as we had a deadline to export to avoid paying VAT on top of our own version GST. Jobs were minor and so far have gone well, Raise drivers side suspension 1 spline. Fit Temp Guage, fit new radiator.(My fault,...

Nice one Bob, Just looked at mine and they are also missing!!

Confusion!
Those were the pictures of the exhaust on my pickup but did show the 3 way union near the servo hanging without a bolt through it.
David, you are welcome to come over and bolt it up for me!!
Its on my to do list!

Look forward to seeing finished restoration, so many brilliant features in that one.

Wife posted fanblade yesterday so should get it shortly.

Well Rich has done some brilliant work and has sent me over 200 pictures, after 3 frustrating hours of ie locking after selecting a few pictures then re starting then re uploading, I give up and post a few that slipped through. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v260/stouen/DSCF9215-1.jpg http://img....

Wow what a lot of stunning minors. May have to make the effort to get there once in a lifetime! Soon!

Well a little progress with garage dodging showers and waiting on steel fixers on main contract. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v260/stouen/028-1.jpg Glued shuttering ply with polyurethane glue to stiffen so thought a lick of paint would help. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v260/stouen/027-1.j...

He sleeps a lot and the rest of the time is completely mad!

Garage has moved on a little.

Rich recons the pickup will be ready within 1 month and as I am making my workshop into a 2 bedroom house I have had to downsize a bit and am making a pickup garage and workshop.(On an extremely small budget using all the leftovers from jobs) Max size allowed 20sqm internally without planning or bui...
