Morris Minor Owners Club

The stud on the base is 2BA. The lens screws seems smaller - I think maybe 4BA - I'll try and get some that size and try them.

If anyone else knows the exact size please let me know.

Hi,
Does anyone know the size/thread type of the screw that holds the rear lens on? It is on 1969 saloon.

Thanks.

Do you think this is a genuine part or a pattern part?
Thanks

Thanks guys.
I have on old bit of stud and found some 2BA nuts and tried them and it is indeed 2BA. I will order a length of studding.

Thanks again.

It is a 1969 2 dr saloon. The bases are all the same after 1962 I think!

Does anyone know what size the stud is that holds the rear lamp base body to the wing?
The old ones are corroded and I can't see them on any of the suppliers websites. I was going to try and buy a length of studding - any suggestions welcome.

There isn't one available for a split screen as faras I am aware. I fitted a front and rear and they are great. You need an alternator and if you have both of them on together for too long I found they can drain the battery quite quickly. I now only uuse one at a time. They don't need to be on for v...

Picked up a 1,1/8 WW socket just now for £6.50 on fleabay.

Thanks for all the advice. I'll put the chisel away now!

I need to change the rear hub oil seal and in the sticky spanner sizes it says "Rear Hub Nut 1,1/8W (although 1,7.8 AF is a very good fit & works)" I have just read the latest edition of Minor Monthly and it says that later cars had 1 3/4" AF nuts. I need to buy a socket and don't...

It is. Thank you very much once again.

Well done! I'll give them a phone on Monday.
Thanks for that.

I fitted one of the kits from ESM. The channel is bolted to the boot floor and welded to the chassis at the ends. The bottom plate bolts on to the U bolts. Here is a pic if it is of any help.

Hi,
I have the same problem re tyre valve. Did you find a solution to it?

Local tyre places no good. I managed to find an alloy wheel specialist. He thinks he maybe able to do something for me and I have left the wheel with him and have to go back on Tuesday - very frustrating!!!

I got my new tryes and picked up a set of second hand powder coated wheels. I took them to my local garage and when they went to fit the valves one of the holes was a different diameter from the other 3! The valve holes should be about 12mm dia and one of the wheels the hole is approx 16mm dia. The ...

I use this garage for my MOTs and they are very sympathetic to the Morris.
I feel obliged to give him the business as it is a 2/3 man affair it's the owner I deal with.
Kwik fit are charging £17 to mend a puncture!

Thanks for replies guys. I ordered a set from BM tonight 155 x 14s for £100 delivered. I have arranged for my MOT garage to fit them for £8 ea - which I think is OK. Costco tyres - well the price for the Michelin ones were £41 ea inc vat fully fitted - if you buy 4 they are doing a special of 20% of...

I currently have Firestone 155 by 14 80s tyres and am looking to replace all 4 of them. I had a look on ESM and BM at they work out at just over £100 for cheaper ones and I would have fitting on top of that. I went to my local Costco and after the usual a Morris what? they gave me a price for a 155/...

Popped in this morning and it is indeed AF and metric with torx and star. It looks a great quality set.
