Morris Minor Owners Club

Hello Pick Up / LCV Fanatics, Well would you believe it just got the 1971 Pick Up cab back from the paint shop and thought I would post a few photos. Not tried this before so hope all goes well. Sadly the Project will not move on too much over the coming year since I was recently assigned to Japan. ...

Hello fellow MM lovers. Why were we (MMOC) as an organisation not able to purchase and secure the "rare garage find" precious items and components recently advertised in Minor Matters? MMOC must have seen this add way back in late November 2013. I simply cannot believe this has happened. I...

I know we have some very talented people out there who might be able to assist with this request for information. Please can anyone provide a list of all the fixing bolts required to secure the CAB to the CHASSIS. I am planning to purchase and then use stainless steel fixings throughout on my ongoin...

Hi Membership. Please can anyone advise a proven method for tightening (nipping up) the quarterlight catches which have become loose with age and usage. In my specific case we have already removed the quarterlight glass from the "U" frame for painting. This might make any procedure easier....

Thanks for the reply from Gabriel and Les. I had not realised that there would be further packing required under the cargo area where it meets the chassis top. The fixing I had mentioned earlier is the cab (lower rear cab cross panel) to chassis. The chassis fixing point is 2x steel rectangular plat...

We are undertaking a 1970 pick up restoration. We have reached the stage where the cab and the chassis go together as one. I have read some posts within this section with a great deal of interest. I have a specifc need for comments relating to the mounting location where the cab rear lower cross pan...

Hi, Has one of you lovely members recently bought the 3x MM Maroon NOS door pulls on eBay?? The reason for asking is that surely you do not need all THREE. That's where I come in because I need ONE for my passenger door. If I can find the purchaser then I can ask if they would be prepared to off loa...

CAN YOU HELP? Several months ago on the Messageboard I found a fabulous post on the Pick Up rear cargo area plywood. This article was so good and included dimensioned marking and setting out, preparation, drilling and fixing details. Can I find the post now - not a chance. Does anyone else recall th...

CAN YOU HELP. We are looking for a Fiat 132 2.0l speedo internals suitable to be adapted to fit within the standard Morris pick up speedo housing. This has been achieved previously and avoids the incompatibility / recalibration of the original speedo. So what you think out there - any ideas. Welcome...

Hi Kevin, Many thanks for the suggestions. It was homeship.co.uk who came to the rescue and at a very reasonable price. There was a problem because the seller would not pack the doors in any, way, shape or form. Wasn't that a poor performance. So had to explain that to the carrier. Homeship truly br...

Hello Lowlight lovers. Can you help. I have bought some MM doors basically for the frames from Bryan Gostlings stock. Only to learn recently that he got them for free from Frank McD. Obviously they are in a bit of a state and will need refurbishing before rechroming. Here's where you might lads migh...

CAN ANYONE OFFER SOME ASSISTANCE I need to collect two doors from Club Spares Norwich NR104NQ Bryan Gostling. My place is Bath BA1 3QF. For me this is a round trip of some 500miles. Was wondering if anyone traveling to Norwich might pick them up and bring them closer to my place. Any offer of help w...

Hi Raymondo, Have you got fixed up with the pulley? I could help you out I think - if I can manage to get the pulley off the crank shaft. Let me know please......spike

Hi, Just had a side valve engine fully refurbished (rebuilt) including the fitting of the ALTA ohv conversion by KAR Engine Services Barnstaple Nth Devon. The gaffa is Chris Heighton. They refurbish engines regularly for Bull Motif and Charlie Ware and have very good reputation. The sidevalve engine...

Greetings to all.

Does anyone have surplus the oil pressure pipe works. This is the piping that interconnects the side valve engine to the dashboard oil pressure gauge - but of course there isn't any other. Please have a check and let me have your replies. Many thanks......spike

Following this post keenly so where can we buy the so called "W" clips. I know someone who needs a couple of rims so have they now been found? Spike

Hi David, Would I be right in thinking that you repair MM speedos? I have one that indicates the speed no problem but will not count the miles being travelled. Any suggestions. Welcome your feedback. Regards.....spike

I have been having great difficulty in sourcing a water pump for my SV engine. The search has taken me to Australia and we have found a company willing and able to manufacture "copies" in batches of TEN. For me this would be a considerable outlay so before confirming the order I need to ga...

Something different this time. Does anyone out know the whereabouts of a water jacket cover for the SV engine. This is a bolt on cover that fits on the offside engine block just beneath the head. With or without the dynamo mounting will be considered. Please take a good look around. Many thanks........

Do you have or know the whereabouts of a MM SV Engine WATER PUMP?? I am installing an OHV conversion on the SV engine and need this to complete. There was one recent find in USA but surely we can find more in the UK. Please do some head scratching as someone you know may have one. Please take a look...
