Morris Minor Owners Club

I am in the process of converting my clap hands style wipers over to a two speed wipers. A two-speed motor is on the way. I will be swapping a 46-tooth, 100-degree gear wheel in to it.. This is the original wheel from my wiper motor on my car so that solves the motor gear problem. Now I am trying to...

It depends on the year of the Morris on what the set up is on the motor. Gear wheels range from 95° to 175° and go in 5° increments. The gear size and number of teeth varies with different cars. Morris Minor had 3 changes At least that is what the book I read had stated - I have not looked at all th...

Thank You for the suggestion

The stock starter the bendex comes engages from the rear of the ring gear. My old starter - the teeth on the starter were chiped all the way around. I did not see any damage on the ring gear. But it is hard to tell with out pulling the motor. The Isuzu starter engages from the front side of the ring...

i for got to post the battery is is good condition with a high torque starter from a Isuzu.
It works very well.

Is there is a way to tell if the motor in a high or low compression motor? I believe only the high compression motor was exported to the USA. The vehicle is left hand drive with a crayon mark USA on the firewall. Assuming it is a high compression motor is 130's mean I am looking at a rebuild? The mo...

Thank You

I am getting 130 / 135 / 132 / 136 on the motor i checked.
That is why i was wondering what it should be.

What is the stock compression on a 1098cc motor?
I looked at several books & coould not find it listed any where.

Thanks for your help,

Car has been sold -

Thank You very much for all your answers.
I had never seen them before and ran across them on the site i posted.
I thought it was very interesting there were different rims that were 4 1/2" .
Yet i could only find reference to the LP-917 rims in any books.

What year & Model Morris vehicle used the LP - 936 - 4 1/2" rims? I knew about the model LP - 917 - 4 1/2" rims. These were fitted to late 8 CWT Vans and Pick-ups. Today a friend came up with a LP - 936 rim and it is also 4 1/2" rim. He thought it was the same as the rims i have o...

My car is a 1960 Morris Minor export. I verified the year of the car from the number on the firewall. The turn signal may have been replaced in the past - It all works - so I am happy. My car has a 1275cc motor, Transmission, disk brakes & 3.90 rear end. The seats were replaced with Subaru bucke...

Sorry I should have been a little clearer in my post. I have an early 1960 Tourer. It has the old style turn indicator. It has a Yellow light on top of the turn unit. These all work fine inside & out. I want to add the side Semi for trafficators on a separate circuit. I have all the parts except...

What trafficator switch are you using?

I see several different styles.
Some light - others do not
One style self cancels

Where was the switch mounted on a Tourer?

Got a picture to share?

Happy New Year

Cheers,

If you go old style they made a slide bracket for car stereos under dash. The bracket had a lock and releases so you can remove the stereo. You still have to remove the attena wire from the bask and any RCA plugs. All of the other wiring stays with the top bracket - power, ground, speaker wires. The...

Flower, Most of the parts are not available from dealers for trafficators. You need the trafficator unit; there is a baffle to keep rain out. There is a mount for the trafficator. Tourers had a bent one. Travelers had a flat one. I am sure there are people who use the diagram above. I would not - I ...

Hay Guys, Here is a shot of the 01 cars serial number stamped in the metal in the engine compartment. This is a left hand drive export in need of total restoration. Engine is period correct - not original. The car is located over 1000 miles from me so it took some time to get a picture. I hope this ...

Gang,

I was a little confused as the paint looks Aqua under the Bull which is red. The bottom is Blue - but a different shade of blue. That is why i wanted to know if there were official colors.

Thank you for the link and all the replies too.
