Morris Minor Owners Club

take a bag with sand in it, put the sump on it, and hammer it out.

when you have the chassis number, it is not a big problem to find out the production date..

Only when the list is long enough for starting the production, go to ESM..
so 95% from the production should reach a new user, direct after production, to avoid a big stock at ESM.

the problem with a minor is, they only need to know before they want to steel a Minor... When you are in the car, every secret switch does not help when the know the wiring under the hood. So it is easy, just make a ready to use cable, connect it to ignition, fuel pump and starter, and go.... Or loa...

maybe a good idea to make a list from people who want to order a pair?
And with this list, go to ESM?

So I have to look on my spare axle...
He is in a corner behind a lot of wood, and I can't see one side.

Never tried this trick, but its not a bad idea

I connected the tank meter on the new wiring, and see the needle a little above low when contact is on.
When I measure the connection to the tank, with disconnected dashboard meter, I measure about 3 Ohm, with a half full tank.

Does someone has a table from the resistance with empty /half/ full tank?

with the sizes it is easy to make, is it 4 mm steel strip, 50 mm wide, 100 high?

But not the original model....
Just fitting ;)

I know, I removed the glass 2 weeks ago ;) But did not check the gearbox side. Maybe the rear axle on blocks, and run, to see what is working and what not. Still a lot of other things to do, the tank meter is not working, and the carb is leaking now after the cleaning. Before putting new seals in it...

First time outside on own power, since years:[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1454879178_12584 [/frame] A small test drive to check the functions, using old American number plates in my own street to drive ;) Braking, not the same as my Prius, but Okay. No speedo meter working, new cable, ...

Mine is a long bonnet, a few months after the short bonnet, and has the old type rubbers.
And because all the parts were together with the car, even the rubbers, I think it was a later moment

I don't know when the change over happened, I'm sure Mike P would know. The earlier rubber seals are available in the UK.

Nice to know, but where to order?

As far I know, it is not a chrome cover at the MM, but a rubber.[frame][/frame][frame][/frame]
I have the old ones, but also like some new ;)

Just came home with the parts, the windows are ok, but the surrounds from the newer type...
So now I have a set of NOS spares, but not for mine
With this numbers I found they are for the 1957-1962 Morris...

For someone who is interested, I have 3 lowlight wings for spare, one (L) unused and 2 (R) who has to be repaired. All 3 are sandblasted and in a primer. Location Holland.

Some small details to go, the front window surrounds have to be on his place, but I found some new old stock:[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1454479908_12584 [/frame] The price and article number are still on it ADA 1883 and ADA 1884, for the old price from F10.80, what means €4.90 euro e...

So when we are counting on this subject, I need also a pair, it brings the total on 3.
Still 97 to sell by ESM ;)

Even the price for the waterpump is sometimes higher...
