Morris Minor Owners Club

In 1972 I bought 70 fire pump engines from a scrap man near Doncaster. They were series E type engines, brand new in crates ex army with a bronze fire pump engine attached. He was scrapping the engines and keeping the fire pumps. The first batch I collected were just the bare engine, but in the end ...

Sorry to hear that, they must have had a trailer, usually with a fuel shut off it will only go about 500 yards.

I have also read recently the the "green" electric cars just stop when they go wrong and can dump you in the fast lane, never mind the smart inside lane. Maybe they should have ejector seats fitted biased to propel you onto the grass?!! Get the hydrogen conversions going then we can all be...

You can get a 24psi oil pressure switch from minispares they give a better indication at idle of what is happening but an oil gauge is the best.

I have used nothing but Duckhams 20-50 since 1962 and have had no trouble using it in my 1935, 1951 and 1963 morris cars. I used to have a Lotus super 7 in the 60s and couldn't get Duckhams once so put Castrol 20-50 in and there was a 5lbs lower oil pressure when hot. I have used Castrol since it wa...

I remember seeing Albion at Gan Island in 1971 some of their engineers came aboard us and saw our scalectrix and were amazed at the setup.

Let me know the number ,I have quite a few.

We also had a large set when I was with BP Tankers, It ran right down the engineers alleway port to stbd on the cross alleway back down the next cross alleyway and back to the start, we used to do a 24 hour Le mans now and again usually fron the gulf down to Aussi. Great times!!

I have one in my pickup for when I attend steam rallies as coal and water carrier.

Just measured old windscreen glass and its 5.92mm thick.

Very neat, could fancy one myself!!

I have just fitted new old stock glass(1952) and a new rubber, it was too slack in the frame, luckily I had an older new rubber I had bought in 1984 and it went in OK. the new glass was the same thickness as original.The original triplex date was Dec 1950, I didn't know how bad the old glass was unt...

Merry Christmas to all Moggy fans and a Happy New Year. Just finished overhauling my MMs braking system last night ready for a Christmas run.

Just recently fitted LED festoon substitutes with small pcb attached to the trafficators on my MM. Brilliant. I also got some 6v ones for the Morris 8.

What sort of price are we paying for LCV, Pickup insurance these days? Older driver living in country area, 1275 engine, value about £8000.

I spent a lot of my life down ships and power station engine rooms and without salt or salt tablets you die!!

Yes, see what you mean Phil, pensioneritus creeping in!!

I assume you don't fit the gasket as well as the "O" ring or the hub loading would be incorrect.

Thanks folks, checked with Footman and they said if I died the named person on the policy could ring in and insurance would be changed over so she wouldn't be without transport.

Thanks folks, I will check with insurers.
