Re: Converting positive earth clock to negative earth

Nice clock. May be worth checking the clock works before you go to the trouble of working out how to mount it. If you isolate the case and wire it with the work around described above by Berni, don’t connect the red illumination wire as it will feedback through the car lighting circuit, i.e., the cl...

Re: Pickup canvas cover

Thanks for posting the Photo Les, when my pickup had a Tilt fitted they used tacks to attach it to the wood. The hooks are much better. Giovanni see the link below for the wood section. https://www.morrisminorspares.com/body-inc-panels-trim-c21/van-pick-up-panels-parts-c41/cab-roof-wooden-finisher-p...

Yes indeed but just stripping the insulation off the wire and trapping it under a bolt seems a bit shoddy? Maybe solder the wire to the bolt washer?
Use a Ring/Eyelet terminal.

Re: Morris 1275 clutch

John Many thanks for the reply. I am not certain though that fitting the 1275cc Midget ring gear will give the required clearance. The OP may still have to fit a spacer to the starter pinion shaft so as to position the starter dog just right when engaged with the flywheel as the OP has already fitt...

Re: Morris 1275 clutch

Thanks Phil, I totally agree with you regarding the Midget crankshaft etc, I’d be reluctant to pull my engine apart though as I believe it is a low mileage unit. I was also lucky to find a misadvertised modified flywheel on eBay some years ago that was a bargain, but it also has the 1098 ring gear, ...

Re: Morris 1275 clutch

Apologies Phil for putting a spanner in the works. In the back of my mind the 1275 Midget ring gear is a slightly bigger internal diameter and you think is a good fit but after a few start up starts spinning on the flywheel. However the one advertised by ESM gives the impression it fits the modified...

Re: Morris 1275 clutch

Just measured my 1098 at 39.9mm.
I wonder if this would be of use?

Not really an awful joke, but it did make me smile.
I was searching the net for a specific size bolt.

Re: Voltage Stabiliser - 'Top'?

If I was a betting man I’d put money on that fault being a dirty/loose fuse holder, the one with White wires one end and Green at the other. It won’t be the ignition switch as you don’t mention the engine stopping, the coil and fuel pump supply is unfused, everything else you mention goes through th...

Re: baffled now (it does not take much!)

My immediate thought to make the wiper motor start with the ignition off would be to put a supply on the earth lead, the new earth return in fault condition being via the coil and/or fuel pump depending on the distributor and fuel pump contacts being open or closed. Turning the wiper switch on in fa...

Re: baffled now (it does not take much!)

The wiper motor gets a 12V supply from ignition switch, the motor works by switching the earth via the dash switch and park switch, i think this earth is at the regulator control E terminal. My thought is for some reason this earth is above ground, may be just a poor earth, measure the voltage betwe...

Re: Difficult bolt removal.

What I’ve done in the past for speed with small bolts is, mig a big gnarly weld on top of the rounded off head and find a 6 point socket that roughly fits and hopefully it will easily unscrew. The localised heat does the trick, in my case without damaging the paint work.
