Morris Minor Owners Club

That Ebay link .... I scrolled down a bit and was surprised to see somebody selling brand new chassis along with a log books what next .... donor cars with no trace of original ownership? Things are getting out of hand !!

I couldn't make it this year, thanks for sharing the pics

Well done with your purchase, 'George' looks like a good starter car that hopefully wont give you too many problems, your enthusiasm is incentive for people like me to catch up with various jobs i need to do to my car. 190psi compression test is high(ish), maybe your tester is over reading a little,...

So, my thoughts... I've read about something similar on this forum before.... When you have an air gap the energy has to build up to a point where it actually has enough energy to jump the gap. As you close the gap the system needs less energy to jump the smaller gap until we get to no gap and no en...

What a great looking car .... it just looks so .... cared for. Well done to you.

Yep ... I got a weepy pipe, Kit purchased from one of the major suppliers. Tygon2375 looks like a fix, Thanks

Thanks for those reply's, I will do as you suggest and paint separately. I like the idea of avoiding the possibility of a paint crack developing ... Water ingress ... Corrosion etc

I need to replace my bonnet, the used one I bought is a bit rough but should be okay with a coat of paint. Do I paint it with the molding on or off ? I had stripped the new(er) bonnet down to bare metal and now have a coat of primer on it, moldings are still attached to the other bonnet !! Thanks.

Well done for fixing the problem and thanks for keeping us informed. It sounds like your car has been modified from standard and this makes it difficult to help with your problem. Bad earths can manifest themselves as all sorts of weird goings on but is a relatively easy fix and is one of the first ...

Ads like that make me be a w.... r! I just made an offer.... £7.50. I really hope I don't win.

Do you have the original drums on the front or have you been upgraded to discs?

The brake pedal does indeed pivot on the clutch pedal shaft and may be holding the brake pedal down enough to cause the brakes to drag, everything gets hot, fluid expands, brakes lock on with a hard peddle. Does the brake peddle try to go down when you push on the clutch?. Best solution is to remove...

You have your TV in portrait mode ....

good catch ..... maybe

I think ........ the top of your float chamber .... is what I would expect to see as part of a twin carb set up and one of those connections would supply fuel to the other carb

Drums may of been skimmed by one of the 24 previous owners

New brake drums have been a bit hit and miss as far as quality is concerned lately, may not be round or not running concentric .... also, check suspension bushes if you haven't already.

I have a 1960 car with original blinking brake lights, after reading this thread I became a little concerned that maybe they were not bright enough so I had my wife drive up and down our street, lights on and randomly indicating and braking (its a quiet street !) Its bright and sunny today but I had...

I replaced a uj earlier this year, could not get both circlips in no matter how I tried. The new uj measured just 0.3mm bigger but its enough to cause trouble. I took the propshaft to a local drive shaft specialist who put the thing together correctly and balanced it too. I didn't think it needed ba...

Did anyone take any pictures for those of us that couldn't make it ?
