I'd clean the spare seats , on their existing frames first , a small scrubbing brush to clean out all the crevasses , deep down ingrained stuff. Wipe off the surface and allow to air dry thoroughly. Treat with Autogylm Vinyl and Rubber care. It claims to " restore and protect ". Don't expe...

HUGE RESPECT ..... that is a beautiful looking car. I've done a few classic car restorations , personal and for mates. No 5 still in progress( but not a Morris ). I appreciate the hours of love and hard graft that has gone into the project. You now have full bragging rights and are entitled to wear ...

It's time to break out the Multimeter as Simmitc has suggested. Having confirmed continuity on the bulbs ,work back from the nearest connector ( with the side lights switched on) that you have full battery volts , cica 12. ? volts. With an assistant switch off side lights and ignition on ( not for t...

Perhaps , if the reply is along the lines of " nothing to do with us , Sir " Trading Standards would give you and unbias opinion.
Frustrating I know but I hope there is a satisfactory conclusion to this for you.

You could try some gentle tapping with a pin hammer on the central pivot. Open up the vice jaws a little , just enough to straddle either side of the pivot head. Place ashtray at 90 degrees to the jaws and at one end.i.e so that the rear side of the ashtray , overhangs the jaws. Protect the chrome w...

Mike This link , with pictures , might give you a heads up on where to start looking. A number of possibilities , general dirt lack of electrical contact , broken or mis aligned parts / small springs. Fingers crossed your indicator is fixable. It's always worth a go before you have to grab the plast...

I've tried lots of different search combinations, on different search engines and like you I've drawn a blank.Sorry.
Hope someone else holds the clue. Bob

Paul ( ? ) could you tell us what is on the small plate screwed / pop rivetted to the casting and also the the letters and numbers moulded into the casting itself ? It would speed up the Internet searching to establish the manufacturer. From that , it might be possible to find a set of installation ...

Some of the isolator / battery dis-connect clamps have a fused connector , by passing the clamp.With the knob on the clamp removed , the fuse allows a small load ( e.g.radio ) to be delivered. Whilst any attempt at starting the car ( the heaviest load on a battery ) would blow the fuse. If your set ...

Welcome to the Forum Larry. A nice looking car you've got there. Keep your questions coming , the folks like something to occupy their " little grey cells ". If you amend your personal details to include Burnley ( never quote you full address or contact phone numbers on the website ) it wi...

I see my description " net job" in my previous post , should have read " nice job ". Apologies.
Thanks for helping to keep the Country's transport rolling.
Bob

You made a net job of spraying that fan , well done.
Glad I'm not the only one who has an odd sleepless night ( 3.18 a.m post ) or are you a night worker ?
Bob

Hi ?? , Welcome to the Forum. Looks like you have the odd hour or two of welding to do. At least the weather should be warming up for you soon. Usual advice , one side at a time so you have the other side to reference. Brace everything before cutting out , so the door aperture remains unaltered duri...

Hmmm ! That piston has been sitting around for some time. The operation of the SU piston is to slide up and down the chamber. With the cleaned / new piston in the chamber with spring , invert it , so that the piston falls to the top. Placing a finger over the hole ( where the damper is screwed in ) ...

Stanmo , The A Series engine featured in any number of classic cars , so sourcing the bits shouldn't present any problem. A couple of examples of suppliers : - http://www.minispares.com/product/Classic/Engine/Block/TP.aspx?1001&ReturnUrl=/search/classic/tp.aspx|Back%20to%20search https://www.mos...

Stanmo "Removal " of the nut needs great care. Odds are stacked against you if it hasn't come off before. A good long soak in Plus gas / WD 40 and work the nut back and forth with tiny motions , using a well fitting spanner. If you're tempted to try the heat treatment , with very hot water...

Steve The attached link shows the horn push set up on your "later " 67 Minor. Check out Item 120 https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/fascia-switches-controls-minor-1951-71.html http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x190/brunocrossley/hornpush.jpg This image shows the reverse side , parts assembled ...

I agree with geoberni and Phil , thermostatic sensor held against the radiator vanes by a plastic cable fixing through the radiator itself. In your photo the two wires ,leaving said switch , appear to have a kink in them. Are the wires still "unharmed " at this point or have they been &quo...
