Re: Driver/Passenger Window - lower sealing rubber replacement

Thanks for the tip. Do you mean we can use this piece of rubber (at the bottom)?

Re: Recreating Beatrice

I could patch it but it is so brittle that I would like to replace it with something new. Does anyone know an alternative? Are there any aftermaket bl...

Re: Recreating Beatrice

Everything is out now and it's ready for media/sand blasting. The only rust so far is a few pinholes in the boot floor.[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1367211379_17089 [/frame][frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1367211430_17089 [/frame][frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=13...

Re: Recreating Beatrice

Thanks Splitscreen and Louise. It's wonderful how helpful people are. I got the handle out but I ended up breaking the little lock lever. I moved it and torqued it so many times that it snapped. I have to admit though that even when I had it out and in my hand I still barely understand how I was sup...

Re: Recreating Beatrice

Well I finally started taking Beatrice apart. I think she is one of the most rust-free examples out there.[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1365910931_17089 [/frame][frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1365910987_17089 [/frame] One problem I am having is getting the right (passenger i...

Re: Year of my car and use of trafficators

Hal,

There is that guy up in Port Townsend that has dozen of Morrises. I'm over in Spokane and I haven't been to his place but I've bought parts from him. I'm doing a similar restoration.

Re: Matt O's 64 Blue Morris 1000 Saloon Bennie!

I don't see anything wrong with the way you did it. It's not very pretty but it's strong enough and the seam sealer will stop the rust. Many people do everything "correct" but then they run out of money and patience and abandon their projects. You need to pick your battles.

Re: 1968 TRAVELLER RESTORATION

Thanks. I think we still have it. I have it in my bathroom and it swells with water. It is hard and straight though when dry.

Re: An American Moggie ~ My '59 Morris Minor 1000 2-door saloon

Fin,

What I don't get is how a bad clutch interface could affect rpms. I can see the driveline not getting engaged properly so speed being low, but shouldn't the engine have been allowed to rev freely?
