Morris Minor Owners Club

In reality is doesn't look much worse than the one I bought, and mine came with almost a years mot!
I had to repair my guttering & roof edge & although I'm a (very) amateur welder it came out just fine.
Take your time & repair it.

Thank goodness for that. Missed it.

Very, very sad. I always enjoyed reading Roys comments on the forum, the man was a fountain of knowledge on all things Morris & will be sadly missed.

Minor million 1MHU. Parked in Welton Lincolnshire just around the corner from my house this afternoon!
Very nice.

Yes, used it on all of mine. Brilliant stuff.

That hellerine oil is excellent & a bottle should last for years.

How much do think you'll be wanting for the head Roy? I may well be interested.
Cheers.
Neil.

Thanks, I'll have a look for some of those.

Does anyone know of any decent quality wiper blades for a minor that actually work?
I bought some new ones, I think they came from Bull Motif, but they're appalling at actually clearing any water from the screen.
Thanks.

I contacted accuspark to ask them why their 45d is cheaper than the 25d & which they would recommend for my 1966 minor 1098 and they said they would recommend the 25d as it's a better distributer than the 45d.

Certainly makes the job easier, and they're not hard to remove.

I might still go back and get one from him. Which is the better head to have, the 940? What's a reasonable price nowadays?

Well, I purchased the 3.9 diff this morning, not sure when I'll get around to fitting it (I'm in no rush). If it needs it I'll do a couple of the mods mentioned to make it breath a bit better.
Having said that, the man was also selling a 295 and a 940 cylinder head for not too much money .

Hi all.
I'm sure it's probably been asked before but is a 3.9 diff a useful upgrade for a standard 1098 morris or will it struggle to pull it?
Thanks.
Neil.

I've got an occasional loud knock from the nearside front of my car too. Haven't spotted anything wrong yet & the mot man didn't pick anything up. I'll be interested to know what yours turns out to be.

U-bolts are what it should have. Plus gas or similar penetrating oils are better than wd40.

Thanks Phil. Pm sent

Aah, that makes sense (kind of ). I couldn't relate the size of thread to anything I was familiar with. I guess 1/4 uns isn't a commonly used thread size.
I'd very much like to take you up on the offer of an adjuster & nut please Phil.
Thanks.
Neil.

With all due respect surely a 1/4 unf thread measures 6.35mm o/d? Quite a difference from the approx. 7mm mine measure.

Just checked & they're not 1/4" unf. The thread measures (sorry for being metric) about 7mm so not 5/16 either. And they have a small hex,
Unfortunately the thread was damaged before I got to it, all the locknuts had been done up far too tight.
