Morris Minor Owners Club

After having to fit a new half-shaft in France to continue southwards towards my goal of northern Spain, I decided to keep hold of the shattered spline. Now in my final year of a Mechanical Engineering degree at Exeter University, I am conducting a case study on splined shaft failure. The conclusion...

Ben. If you dig out May/June 2003 copy of Minor Matters. There is an article all about converting a Minor. Should be of some help to you. I didn't have a moggy then, but I know some friends who have kept all of the issues for years, thanks. Is it legal to do it yourself now though? AON insurance di...

Well I'm off to Spain for at least four months starting Februaury, and they don't even sell it there!

thanks fpr the pictures, I'll get them in thursday - day off for new years, so I'm sure I'll feel like working on Trudy then!

a picture would be good please 57traveller, I don't have any holes in the seal, which is what confused me so I guess I'll have to punch them in. Your explaination makes sense, but the lack of holes got me.

On finding out what the row of holes on the inside bottom of my doors were for, I decided to help winter draughts by fitting some excluders. The guy at ESM first brought out what fitted my idea of a draught excluder - a rubber section. He then handed me a metal strip and later posted the clips. I ca...
