Only fools would refuse the vaccine covid kills :evil: I agree... but with some exceptions. There are people out there where there are genuine and legitimate concern that the medical risks associated with taking the vaccine are more significant that taking the vaccine... but this would have been ad...

The pumps have to say E10 before the deliveries arrive. Most haven't actually got it yet - ask the nice people at the counter next time you fill up

My minor had a marina box in when I got it

I might have a complete new one... but seems a shame to sacrifice it for a few inches...

All cars before 2011 is pure rubbish...

For example Ford confirm that my 1993 Transit is ok for it.

Its been in the US and AUS for many years, so while its new to us - its not new.

I know I was head of the curve, but I got my 1st Jab on the 5th May (age 36) and 2nd jab on 16th June...

My twin however is still waiting for the 2nd one and is still a few weeks away

Fit the spigot bearing thats appropriate to the crank

A lot of aftermarket ones are marked there - but not all.

Factory cam identification is by a series of rings/grooves along the shaft

I seem to recall that the biggest engine Ford Capri (3.0L V6) even had extra weights added in the Sills to improve handing; probably not anything they would consider these days. Whilst modern cars do tend to be designed to be as light as practical - they most definitely do still have weights added ...

Whats the difference between Lassie and football?

Lassie came home

I’ve been here for many years and don’t recall any comments that were life changing. Maybe I wasn’t paying attention. I wonder if other forums take this stance. I can well believe that closing the section down was considered. We are so prim and proper here. :D back in the annals of time... I was a ...

Hmmm your in Kent Les??

My other favourite is "first to see will buy...." I have disproved that on multiple occasions... Other than the cab... how many parts are Morris Minor? Ferguson 35 bonnet, rear wings and headlights Chassis isn't Axles arn't Engine and gearbox arn't So how can this be claimed to be a morri...

Oh Well

I must have got one of the last sets. I've got literally no idea where they are now though

To gain the benefits of negative camber you do need to fit negative camber eye bolts which are currently not available off the shelf. GDF Garages/Minor Mania in Mill Hill had some on the shelf a few years ago though, and wern't advertising the fact... if its what you need it may well be worth a call

I'm still here and posting arn't I? Far more than the 0 Morris Minor FB groups I am on at any rate

FB is invaluable for my "hobby" business though - couldn't do without it (Thats mainly focused around Transits though)

I do wonder if those once prolific posters are still members of the club? I used to be a paid up member - but decided it wasn't worthwhile a long time ago. I was putting in a lot of effort as a moderator on the forum and getting nothing out of the club (except the forum - which was more of a chore ...

What might be worth checking on the cover is that the bolt holes haven't become distorted and "pulled through" - i.e. making a lip that bottoms out before the gasket makes good contact

The oil seal will have kind of a C section profile?
