Morris Minor Owners Club

if you have the speakers I would go ahead and fit it,the portable radio option is frankly distracting,you get poor reception and end up missing parts of your programme,I use mine as background music when working on my minor,on the road its more trouble than its worth

You are so right regaliaqueen ! The other thing is knowing you have that needed part or tool somewhere in the garage but finding it has become more of a challenge than doing the job. [frame][/frame]

I purchase one earlier this year, they do appear to work well, fit the loops as others have advised and also fit a padlock to try and prevent a theft !

I want to use either my bottle jack or a trolley jack then use axle stands to help support the weight, I don`t wish to use the standard jack point althogh the floor condition is quite good, a friend told me to use the axle across the rear section, ...

Thanks everyone for the advice re the ht leads, much appreciated, I have got all the other required items to service my Minor, I have now realised two types of cap fitted for side entry and top entry, have already tried Bull Motif for most of the service parts anyway but other suppliers such as Moss...
