Morris Minor Owners Club

It was a lot easier putting them back in .with a little help and a bearing press . I marked where the sections met with tape and where the grade nipple was

Managed to pop the new joints in the prop today . I say pop in but it was a little tricky getting them out

Finished. Not sure if I should add the full picture of the plate !

And paint striped the number plates , with real paint stripper , not nitro***** .
Etched them and primed and painted them with Matt lacquer, and painstakingly cleaned up each letter and painted them gloss white .

Also cleaned and painted the bracket

Last week I managed to have a look at the windscreen wiper unit , seems to be in ok condition , I removed the main cover of the gears , removed all the old grease inside it and cleaned the gears up and re greased them , painted the cover .the gears and cables seem to run freely. I also stripped the ...

I fitted my near side flitch by removing the pillers and joining the flitch inside the piller box section . Under the cover panel , as I wasn’t keen on fully removing the main door piller . Instead I used a repair section on the main piller at the bottom . There is always ways around thing but it al...

Hi all, hope i'm not boring people but here's a progress update on Clarence and a bit of advice needed please. Today i've turned Clarence to the right way up and secured him. My first job is repairing /replacing the metal work at the front of the left hand door. I have cut out some rusty metal out ...

Looks like a great little project you have there , unlike me ,you have plenty of time to work on it , you’ll have it all done before you know it , remember safety first , plenty of measurements and if your unsure always ask and also enjoy yourself learning new skills , good luck in your Morris quest

Thanks for response. Theres something really special about these little cars of ours and the same goes for the community 'feel' on this site. Really great you have your family with you on the journey. Best wishes to you and yours for Christmas and Im sure your Grandad is very proud that he passed t...

Wow, just managed to read all the posts about your project. As many have said great standard of finish and as a newbie just starting out a great encouragement and my 'Clarence' isnt quite as bad as yours started out. So certainly hope for me. :lol: Thank you for all the pics and explanations really...

Ha yes . I can see it now , getting battered out the door with a broom !! I do try to be extra careful and I’m watched like a hawk

Not sure I’m allowed to post this ?

Ok iv found the old unit here’s a pic of them both together

Iv read the article about wheel sizes but I can’t make sense of it . I’m looking at mini light wheels 13” x5 with a pcd of 101.6mm including 3/8 wheel nuts on eBay . Will these fit my 1956 split screen?

It looks correct, but be aware that the early cylinders were different from the later ones, so a part number and/or dimensions would be useful. If we can't be 100% certain then buy the correct part from a trusted supplier. If they are the same then a spare is always useful, if they are different th...

Is this the right cylinders for my rear brakes? My car is a 1956 splitty im scratching my head thinking how i bleed them ? Am I missing something ?

pure entertainment guys , I wish I could come up with a song but my head doesn’t allow me to at 4:30 in the morning !

Your right Santa has been busy , but unlucky for me ,I don’t think there’s any moggy parts under the tree , iv been a naughty boy this year !

So today has been horrible and wet outside so I made a little work shop in front of the tv in the living room! Much to the delight of my wife , who just rolled her eyes and gave out a tut ! :roll: I found 2 towels she never uses so I wouldn’t mark the new carpet to rebuild the rear axle , here are a...
