Morris Minor Owners Club

I have a minor that came with ford disc brakes but they have got no backplates fitted. Does anyone know where can I get a pair from.

The cause was the back of the gauge is slightly out of shape ie not flat so coils not aligned perfectly Did not want to disturb anything else incase of causing more damage so got the best positioning for a slightly lower reading than normal. Everything is working fine now, although a replacement wil...

I've found the fault. It is the distance the coils are set from the needle spindle causing the magnetic fields to affect the reading. That was the only thing I hadn't checked because they should never need adjusting once set.

I've got 11.9v one side of the fuel gauge and 7.6v on tank side and 7.6v at tank sender unit. Disconnected from earth shows full as it should but when all connected up and operating the float max reading I get shows only just over 12 full. The resistance across the gauge terminals when both wires of...

That's about what I'm getting. I've checked the fuel gauge resistances and they're within limits but gauge only shows 1/2 - 3/4 full when sender in full position.

Hi can anyone tell me what the ohms readings should be for an early sender unit.

Does anyone know if my old grey 4 door minor OCS836 is still on the road. I sold it to a lovely lady quite a few years ago now and often wonder what became of it.

I have 1957 convertible and have an issue with the sun visors and mounting points. According to the everything I've read it should have centre hinged visors; mine has had 1 fitted with three screw fixing so that it can swing across to the side; also believe it's not a genuine Morris item. Perhaps wh...

I have registered with avon branch website but even after emailing Nik I still can't enter it keep getting 403 forbidden message. I've tried laptop phone and even wife's phone with no avail.
Has anyone else experienced this or am I missing a trick?

Cheers declan. That's what I thought. I've only got a 3" cut off tool but think it should be okay.
Btw I managed to fix hood frame and after a test drive seems fine now. Just need to do these locking pins now.

Trouble removing worn convertible hood locating pins.Screw heads rounded off. Thinking whether to try cutting bracket carefully with my cut off tool

Thanks for that guys. I will look into a new frame.
Annoyingly it was a new replacement when the car was restored a few years ago

Travelling slowly along the other day in our little moggie convertible suddenly the hood lifted off! Pulled in and just folded it down and went on home. The following day I looked at it and could see the one catch was worn and the thread on the other side butterfly nut was stripped. When putting the...
