Morris Minor Owners Club

I need some help finding the right wiring diagram for my minor. It was first registered in April 1963 and is one of the transitional cars and thus it's proving to be a pain in the rear bumper. The car has the flashing rear brake lights and the white flashing front indicators to match, but trying I f...

Just for a side note to avert the thoughts of “he’s screwed now” I do have another clutch cover, so I can use that and also thinking about it as reference to set this clutch plate.

As easy as that, do I need to set the a certain clearance between the flywheel and the plate in the clutch cover?
For example, if the clutch is too tight, might it not be able to disengage?

For some unknown reason I decided to completely dismantle my clutch cover to check all the springs and give it a good clean out. In doing that, I now need to set the height of the springs and thus clearance between clutch plates. I’ve attached a picture showing the measurement I Am after, as I know ...

That’s what I was thinking, they must have one of those nuts with spikes on that has been pressed into the actual sheet of wooden backing.

If you’re able to measure the thread for one of those, I’ll commence the hunt for one.

I’ve got a roll over jig that’s in the style of the Mr Grumpy ones, but it’s not made by him. Anyway, I am going to roll over Alice so I can sort her out and I would love to do it in the garage, but I fear that it’s not wide enough. As I don’t have the luxury of have a drive way (rented garage) I ca...

fudge, it is not letting me add them for some reason. Anyway, ill continue with the update. So today I decided to tackle the passenger's door and replace the very rusty panel on its underside. Whilst I have done most things on minor's, door repairs are not one of them. So i did the google search and...

Definitely not into concourse, I like mine rough and ready

I’ll drill it out and rethread it with a metric one and put a yellow dot on it so I know which bolt is for which

Is anyone doing a convertible conversion this winter? I ask as i want to see how people have either or will be finishing the roof above the windscreen and how the area where the roof connects to the body above the boot has been finished. I am turning my minor into a roadster with no roof at all and ...

Thank you very much for that.

I’ve forgotten to say, I have seen one on a turquoise low light version that’s being restored by a fellow member. But I’ve attached a photo with the guide tube highlighted

I have seen on a few cars that there is a little tube that’s bolted to the radiator shroud and pointing inwards towards the lower pulley and the starter dog. Having looked at old and new shrouds, they all have the two bolt holes for said handle guide but I haven’t seen a handle guide tube in a list ...

Well, I have decided to make a restoration thread for the conversion of my 1963 2 door saloon to a 2 door roadster, so ill start from the very beginning. I have had classic cars all my life and it started out with a 1959 Wolseley 1500 for my 17th birthday. My father and I finished off the restoratio...

I’ll have a look at that over the weekend. If it’s more than just the diode, what would be a recommended make and model of alternator be?

I made a fundamental mistake this morning, I put the battery on the wrong way around and smoke immediately started pouring out of the alternator, plus the red ignition light stays on when the key is out.
Have I cooked the alternator totally or is it salvageable?

The rear seats back cushion is held to the body by two wing bolts that are accessible through the boot, that’s the bit we all know. In the past, someone has replaced said wing bolts with a standard bolt and cross-threaded one of them on my car. In trying to undo it, the head snapped off. So, I would...

Considering the amount of crud in and around a moggy, handling a bit of lead is the least of my worries.

well ive found one, which i can duplicate easily. I dont think they stopped producing them because they where made of lead, i think the world of car design simply moved on. As for the lead, anyone who lives in a house built before the 1920 will get there water from the mains via a lead pipe, may hav...

i wouldnt of though about calling them battery helmets, but that will aid my search.
if worse comes to the worse and i find two knarly ones, i can use them as patterns and make my own up.
