Morris Minor Owners Club

I'm sure someone will be interested
Do you have any photographs?

Is this the shaft that the brake and clutch pedal share?
I was looking at that shaft the other day and thought it could do with some sort of lubricating mechanism such as a grease nipple.
Has anyone carried out this modification?
Would it work is it worth the effort??

I just happen to have stripped my steering column out this week.
Will these help.

Is it the whole trunnion you need, or are just the bushes worn? I found this Pin & Bush kit listing on Fleabay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MORRIS-MINOR-1000-56-71-FRONT-SUSPENSION-UPPER-TRUNNION-PIN-BUSH-KIT-GSJ211/372406102279?fits=Car+Make%3AMorris%7CModel%3AMinor&hash=item56b5222907:g:daAAAOSwUZZ...

Have you tried the owners club spares?
ESM have them listed on their website.

If you are methodical in your strip down you will soon realise how straightforward these cars are. I took mine apart and bagged and labelled everything then placed them in a plastic box and wrote the contents on the outside. I can now see what's in each box at a glance. Post some pics to keep us upd...

Yes you should be able to leave the inner sill in place, usually they will be corroded along the flange which joins to the floor but given the metal is pretty thick its not difficult to seam weld a new piece in. Thanks for that, the actual sill seam is solid but the floor is not. One I have the car...

This sketch is knocking about the internet showing a cross section of a typical sill. My car will require sills in due course but I have a query. Is the outer under sill on a 2 door welded along its length to the floor panel? My inner sill is sitting above the floor pan will the floor separate from ...

I have a helmet but I struggle to see the weld so I think it needs setting up properly.
Apologies to the OP for hijacking your thread.

More important than the type of gas is the facilities you have for safe access to the bits you need to weld. In my experience that's all of them! I've done mine with no previous experience and although not quite there yet I think it's turned out OK. I taught myselff, but I agree that a course is th...

I'm in a similar position my minor requires some bodywork and having welded a few bits of steel together in the past and managed to make a wood burner I thought I would try it myself. I think the main thing with welding at home is to obtain a good deal on argon. I'm still looking for a decent suppl...

Looks like you have got quite a bit of welding to do there! I think welding is actually relatively fun work, but accessibility and ergonomics are really important so I think you've got the right idea with the rotisserie! Will be following with interest, good luck! :) There is definitely enough rust...

As is usual with UK cars the rust on the nearside it worse than the offside but I think I will begin on the better side so I can work out how it all goes together.
Once the shell is stripped fully I will weld some cross braces in to keep the shell in the same shape while I remove the sills and floor.

Some more rust shots

Oh and whoever invented underseal needs shooting, it's covering a host of rust and it looks like the last owner who "restored" Gracie got it free by the bucket load as it's everywhere.

Some more pictures showing the rusty bits.
I have noticed the carpet appeared to be glued to the floor and was destroyed on removal.

Good evening I thought I'd better start a thread concerning the work I'm about to carry out on Gracie my '65 2 door ?Morris Minor. A brief history of my brief ownership, I used to own a couple of MX-5's but I got bored of them as they were neither new nor properly classic so I decided to sell them. ...

nice project, I look forward to the updates.

I would imagine an email to the editor of Minor Matters would be able to answer your question.

I have just noticed yourr bonnet is different as it doesn't have the "slam handle" was this deleted on export models?
