Morris Minor Owners Club

oh weia! I wonder what I have got in mine?

It was not cheap, that is true. I do not remember exactly what I paid so I just had a look in the english ebay - over GBP 400.

I exchanged my 4,22 for a 3,9 version with Heathrow Transmissions - works very well.

That seems to me a good solution, I will have a think about welding some steel straps across.

Yes also from ESM . or perhaps the first time from Newton when I comepletly redid the seats. Same produkt though. It is obviously the standard so perhaps I have installed it wrongly.

About 0,85 litre. Fill it using the spout ( Schlauch) that is contained in the oil bottle until it starts to flow out of the diff. It smells horribly so wear throw away gloves! Recheck the level after a few km.

Yes, I am in Mittel Hessen

When my 69 Traveller was new i.e in its dilapidated second hand "repaired" state, one of the first things I resolved to do was to renew the seats. I brought new covers, the set cushions and the rubber seat base which is held in place on the seat frame by metal hooks. This replaces the orig...

The flasher relay may be bolted to the chassis for suppoert but this is not meant to be an earth connection, or?

Thanks for the tip. Have now checked for earth connections as advised and found none. Waiting for the new relay to arrive and try again. Having had faulty units before is too easy an option......

Apologies for bringing this one up again. Firstly. 1969 Traveller. Recently installed a new column switch indicator unit. I had to extend the wires due to it being now LHD. Although the external flashers worked satisfactory, the indicator stalk did not. It used to, even with the old unit, only flash...

Oh the underseal cover up! Not on my Morris but on the Triumph I saw that the rear chassis had failed a British MOT on a Tuesday and then after a quick underseal cover up, passed it on Thursday. Spent a whole winter underneath the car scraping all the black stuff off , being vicious with the hammer ...

My LHD conversion some 4 to 5 years ago left the glove box area unconverted as finding suitable frames proved impossible. Have always had it in mind to make a handed frame but never got around to it until now. Using the RH as a reverse template, I made the frame from hard balsa wood, sealed it with ...

That's odd to hear that the steering column branch of the wiring could not reach the left side. Was there an obstacle in the way. Before you replace the entire turn signal switch, where was your earth probe when you checked the voltage? If you used the chrome stalk, it's earth path may be the probl...

I have had the steering wheel off and on many times firstly to install a new indicator switch. As my 69 Traveller has been converted to LHD, the wires are not long enough for a straight connection using the bullets but have to be soldered on to the extension wires. Then the self cancelling did not w...

This sktech which was originally here in the Forum from Declan, I think shows where differing BSF -UNF threads are used in the Morris Minor braking system

Nice old film which I had seen a while ago already. Tests on the Stuttgart-München stretch and Stuttgart-Heilbronn it says. Stuttgart is known these days as Germany's largest car park and is the place to avoid if you can. The original Autobahnen were nearly always concrete sections with expansion jo...

It is not professional Workshop Quality but assuming that your garage floor is not smooth concrete, you may like to consider a self levelling screed ( if my Translation is correct "Ausgleichsestrich" ) which is probably available in sacks from builders merchants. When mixed , poured and li...

The type is mentioned on this article http://www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/car-heaters.htm [/quote] It was interesting to read that the K-L Monitor was made for the Thermal-syphon type of cooling System that my Austin 8 has. I am trying to find out how it works, if anyone has seen a technical description ...

If it wont move then you may have to revert to a three-way Extractor - they are cheap enough. Be sure though that it really is the oil seal in the Timing chain cover that is leaking. From Memory, the soft alu front which the lower bolts are screwed into are difficult to seal perfectly and the result...
