There should be no problem just taking the wheel & brake drum off and then getting some grease in behind the cylinder. As Phill says, use White Grease; you can get it in a spray can which is ideal for all sorts of lubrication job, hinges, catches, etc and over the battery terminals too. Just be ...

Is he meaning a pre-engaged starter? Hi-torque only refers to the amount of turning power available, not the bendix or pre-engagement arrangement. A 'High Torque' Starter has a gearbox attached to it. A modern electric motor spinning really fast, with a reduction gearbox to the output . Intention b...

Hi
I stumbled across this whilst checking out some part numbers.
Download of AKD 3575.

Of interest for anyone who might need one. It looks to be up to change/amendment 4.

Thank you. Yes it is evident from the zoomed in photo that it does go the other way around. I am incorrect. I had considered this but I was not sure. In that case, the number plate length is not critical. A distance piece is not supplied with the ESM fixings but a spring washer would probably be ab...

I was unsure as to whether the backing plates were a factory figment or left to the whims of the supplying dealer - much like the style of number plate you got. They are illustrated and listed in the Morris Minor Body Service Parts List, AKD 3542. Note the Pt No as ADA 8891 :-? Number Plate.JPG ESM...

I've just looked back at Jaybeee1's past post, they don't bode well for the way this one is going.....

As previously indicated, we need to see what number is on the rear corner of the Block. The details you've posted up so far are from the area indicated in Red on this random image I just composed...
We need to know what is in the area indicated in the Green area.
Thanks

Ok thanks can anyone point me to one for a negative earth B reg 1964 from memory You haven't understood the point people are making. There is no standard conversion diagram, for a 64 or any other year. It depends entirely on the conversion that has been done, a kit supplied and by which company, or...

I had a similar issue with my engine after I brought my car, you might find reading this will help. https://board.mmoc.org.uk/viewtopic.php?p=642702#p642702 Check your Head Number and the Block Number. Post up a photo of the Block Number, zooming in on a computer is very helpful. :wink: Head Number ...

If I read your information correctly, and I must say it would be a whole lot easier to read if you broke it down into paragraphs.... I would say the problem is the mixture adjustment on the Carburettor, or even something as simple as the oil level in the Carb Damper, assuming it's still got an SU Ca...

I've already turned my alerts off. When was the last disaster that required the whole country to be notified? I don't trust this authoritarian government as far as I can throw it. I think the alert system is to log EVERYONE with a smart phone & have the ability to take control of that phone &am...

Please do follow the connecting up instructions carefully.
If you've fried the old one with a wrong polarity connection, then doing the same thing again will produce the same result...

Let's put this subject to bed... This is the 2 gaskets side by side, both images sized by the distance between the mounting stud holes. Note the hole in the old gasket extends above where the new gasket, and thus the new fitting, finishes. Thus the area I previously highlighted with the red arrow is...

Thanks Simon, it's important that such info is shared.

Given the number of people who have difficulty finding or using their settings, here's the link to the Video that Simon mentioned https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2MBcHwmiy8

The problem isn't the parts, it's the installer..... So I have seen all info and I can clearly see I should be fitting the early sprite/ midget spin on as shown by one of the members earlier the moggy spin on clearly doesn't fit the aperture.i get a feeling my engine is not original????. :roll: You'...

I'd recommend getting a copy of 'Original Morris Minor' by Ray Newell as all the changes are documented in there.
Alternatively, a bit harder work but cheaper, download a free copy of AKD 3541 and work it all out yourself from the various change points. http://www.spridgetguru.com/AKD3541.html

Hilarious. Definitely no switch to negative earth. Look up the Lucas “Prince of Darkness” reasons before you gleefully take the [Don't swear or you will be banned - Admin]. I will never change to the satanic negative earth. No radio, no ancillaries of any sort. The car was made positive earth. Chan...

I'm thinking I need the mg screw on it looks the same as old body You've totally lost me with your photos of what you took off. It's the replacement one you've fitted we're trying to help you with. You brought a kit which included a Filter, plus a New Mounting and 2 new Studs with nylock Nuts. Have...

Why have you done this? Put it back exactly as it was Yet only a few weeks ago you posted.... Timing chain is notorious for rattling. A duplex chain may be an improvement. It certainly improved mine. So it's OK for you to make a change of Timing Chain from Single to Duplex, but you disagree with 'D...

Change should be listed in parts books, anyone have an AKD showing the engine number when the oil to paper air filter altered....have a load of 1958-1959 chassis/engine nos combinations on our database, shouldn't be THAT difficult to translate engine to chassis nos Chris The AKD3541 can be download...
