Morris Minor Owners Club

Can someone tell me how to make a DIY tracking gauge or better still do a diagram - I'm sure I've read a thread on here talking about a dexion frame but I can't find it!

I'm about to renew the eyebolt bushes and after studying the diagrams and reading various posts I can't see what stops the eyebolt fulcrum pin turning when I try to undo the front nut to remove the front half of the bottom suspension arm.Will it hold tight by friction in the bush or rust on the cup ...

Thanks to all for excellent responses.

Thanks for the quick and comprehensive reply! Have you any idea as to how many or part of a degree the camber will move to negative for a 1,1/4 inch raise in height?

I am about to overhaul the front suspension on my 1968 tourer and intend fitting polyurethane bushes. ESM sell a set for less than £20 which seems cheap compared to EBay etc. - has anyone used them - are they OK.? Would you use polyurethane on both sides of the tiebar or fit normal rubber on the rea...

Wow - wot a can of worms I opened - I'll do my own inspection of the ones currently fitted before buying new ones because it may well be the case that although they look "tired" to quote the mechanic, they're OK - there are no apparent symptoms of distress e.g. knocking or movement when ch...

I've just had Maurice to the MOT station and he passed with flying colours however the mechanic suggested that the engine mount rubbers were tired. What's the best method for replacement? Having read a few threads on here regarding hardness of the rubber it appears that the Bull Motif part is consid...

Thanks to all respondents!

I'm thinking of using The Morris Minor Millenium Co. in Manchester to do some work on my car - anybody used them? Any recommendations?

Update: I I consulted a SU carburettor specialist who said that the 6 mm tube was fine so I fitted the carburettor this week and it works perfectly. I have a further query -after fitting the new carb I noticed that the float chamber wasn't exactly vertical presumably because the angle of the manifol...

I don't think it would have been beyond SU's capability to make an inlet pipe with a large O/D and small bore if that was needed..

Definitely off a 1972 Mini which I had from new!
The plastic restrictor sounds like a possibility but why not just make the I/D smaller in the first place?
Maybe I'll just try it and if it runs OK I'll pull a plug to make sure it's not running weak.

The pipe is approx. 8mm O/D and 6mm I/D and appears to be 6mm bore right through into the carb. I know it has'nt been altered at all because it came off my Mini 40 years ago and has been hiding in my garage ever since!

I have sourced a late hs2 carb with fume extraction port to improve my current rocker cover to air filter arrangement and was surprised to see how big the hole was given that the general opinion of the forum that anything engine side of the carb.should be restricted to about 3mm . The port into the ...

Is it 1/2" ID hose?

I've bought a silicone bypass hose which is thick and rigid despite having a concertina appearance - I assume these are OK?

A long time since I did Latin! If it ain't broken don't fix it?

Just wanted to know what's in! Won't be a problem to get undone - it all looks shiny and new!

I'm going to fit a new bypass hose by removing the water pump. Do I need to remove the fan blade and/or radiator to get the pump off? In other words what's the best way to do it?

I'm going to check which thermostat is fitted to my 1968 engine however I see that the metal heater return pipe is in the way. It is secured to two brackets which are themselves bolted under cylinder head nuts. Will it be OK to undo these nuts and then just torque them down again. I think they shoul...
