Re: I did a stupid thing...

Hi again, I found a diagram of the horn assembly in another post (http://www.mmoc.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=17547&start=0&hilit=horn) which showed me the way to go. I now have the horn rewired and working, except (and there is always an except!) when I screw the centre and actual horn ...

Re: I did a stupid thing...

Thanks David, I just reread my post and I can only apologise for being less than clear about what's going on - sorry! I've taken a photo of the bit that's come adrift (looks like a version of the part you suggested with spring/wiring/etc). It has a brass piece on the end of the wire that looks like ...

I did a stupid thing...

Hello everyone. The centre-push horn on my 1964 duotone 4 door was only working sporadically, so after taking off the horn-push itself I "lifted out" the contact thing from the centre of the column (the bit that contacts under the actual push). Now I've got a contact with 3" of wire a...

Re: Flaking paint

Thanks everyone! I've posted in both of the forums you suggested. Fingers crossed! I've stuck with the idea of a new one as I've never welded a thing in my life and although I would love to try it the outlay for kit and the learning curve are a bit steep. The flaking "toffee-like" paint is...

Body shop / Advice - NW6 or close?

Hi everyone, I'm looking for someone who could spray a Minor boot lid and a door for me, preferably near to me in NW London? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! I've also got an issue with the drivers door - seems twisted at the top as it rattles when driving at speed. Not sure how to ...

Flaking paint

Hi everyone, Just got my first Minor ('64 Duotone 4 door in black) which is (touches wood...) running pretty well and fairly tidy inside. I have a few issues with bodywork though. Bootlid has been extensively rebuilt with filler which has decided to flake off along the bottom edge - there are a few ...

Re: 35 amp fuse blowing (and maybe my fuel pump?)

Hi there - wrestled the steering wheel off and found the indicator assembly loose. Now that's sorted hopefully the fuses will stop popping! Had a proper look at where the fuel pump sits - don't think I'll be moving it unless I really have to - looks beyond my meagre skills. Next steps are points and...

Re: 35 amp fuse blowing (and maybe my fuel pump?)

Thank you for the speedy reply and insight! The fuses blew when the indicator was canceled and thinking about it I recently knocked the indicator assembly getting in to the car so maybe I've done something there. I've got a socket big enough to take of the wheel and get the bakelite shroud off for a...

35 amp fuse blowing (and maybe my fuel pump?)

Hi everyone, Wanted to say hello and ask if anyone could give me some advice. I'm a first time Morris owner (why did I wait so long?!?!) - Just got a 1964 Duo-tone called Monty which seems to be pretty much mechanically sound and runs really well with only a couple of small niggles. I took it on a f...

Re: Stoplock

Hi there - I have one fitted to my '64 4 door. I know it's not going to stop a serious crook but it's a visual deterrent at least.
