I had some on my 4-door. They were cast aluminium IIRC
Can be seen in the pic if you look close. Much prettier than mudflaps of course.

Re: Tyre replacement
:o Recently I had to buy new tyres for my '61 Saloon, original size is no longer available in this area and I tried ordering from various manufacturers only to be told to use P175/65R14 as a replacement. This I have done and all appears to be fine on my original rims but I am uneasy as to hard corn...

I've had hassles in the past bleeding the Morris' brake system - its one of those easy in theory/tricky in practice things. My current method is to use a special fitting on the M/C cap that I can attach a compressed air line to. I set the regulator at about 20psi then open each bleeder in turn. I ha...

I might have built 2 engines in bedrooms of rented accomodation. The first was from a Chevette with a melted piston. The second a reconditioned 1098 for a van I had at the time. In a strange twist on Murphy's Law, i have found that it is not possible to do this without making grease stains on the ca...

Hi Paul As others have said, the rust holes are not in the chassis leg- that is much more towards the centre of the car, inside the torsion bar. Instead it is the lower outer floor edge that is rusty. Although this is a double skinned area it is probably easier to repair (depending on how the sills ...

I have used a Morris 1300 wiper motor and drive cable with a 120 degree drive plate that worked well to get the correct stroke (in a late model Minor). I might have switched the parking block (on the driven gear) to get it to park correctly, can't recall exactly. If you are buying the motor from a s...

Yeah, it worked for me for many years. I has a couple of other advantages as well: - You don't need to jack up the front of the car to be able to aim the timing light at the timing case marks - You can be in denial about the unstable timing. Just be aware that you should always turn the crant in the...

I redid mine about a year ago, including removing the interior trim pieces, side glass, rear doors, and alloy panels from the doors. Removing the old varnish was a lot of work. I chose to use the Sikkens Cetol HLS/Filter 7 products and I think it turned out well. the finish is not a shiny as varnish...

Right Onne I know how frustrating that is. I bought a new seal for one of my non-Morrisses and had it professionally fitted and the dang thing leaked worse than before. I got the fitters to come back a couple of times (mobile service!) and they squirted sealer under the rubber, but it never quite wo...

Well, in New Zealand we had to take what the gummint would let us buy, and through the 50's and 60's that was british cars, slowly migrating to aussie cars. In those days a 2 year old car could be sold for more than the purchase price because of the effective rationing of new vehicles. Even my 1968 ...

Another approach.... I had to do this recently becaue I wanted to swap on a harmonic balancer pulley from a Mini. The engine was in the car and I found that the clutch wouldn't hold against a big spanner and length of pipe. I didn't fancy the starter approach so I used a different trick. 1. Remove 1...

It's not so easy to get a new gasket down here in NZ. I used Permatex 2 sealer (it's hard to find a petrol-resistent sealer.) First time it lasted a couple of years before leaking a little. This is in a traveller so it's a real pain to get to the sender. Partly because of this I seldom fill the tank...
