Morris Minor Owners Club

I had a torsion bar that was removed in one piece.I took a pic today and it may be a starting point for you-[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1400340796_20405 [/frame] when the arm is laying on the ground,the centre height to the middle of the bolt hole (shown where steel rule is) is 109mm...

Thanks everyone. I will study the responses and hopefully get this sorted out. Will let you know.

Drivers side - too low?[frame][/frame]

Hi, Many thanks for the suggestions but I am still a bit confused. I adjusted using the 3" recommendation by Chipper but now both sides differ in height between the top of the wheel and the wing and I'm confused which one is correct now (or are both wrong?) I will attach a couple of photos to s...

Thanks Mike...will try that tonight. I will be a Morris Minor suspension expert after this

Kind Regards,

Scott

Thanks Maurice....I will give that a try. I was forgetting about jacking up the lower arm to allow it to fit to the lower trunion.

Many thanks.

Hi, I am wondering how to set the position of the front torsion bar arm having lost the original marks I made when I stripped it. I had previously stripped the front suspension to replace all the bushes, bolts etc but decided to re-strip it to fit some new poly bushes and re-set the new vernier plat...

Hi, Great news! All is now working. Sorry for the delay in posting back but the weather this last week has not been an encouragement to go out to a cold garage. :wink: This is what I did. Fitted new door switch on the passenger side, tidied up the original wire and soldered a new piece of wire onto ...

Ok thanks..I will give it a try. Once I get the new door switch I will reconnect and update you.

Many Thanks!
Scott

Here is a picture of the interior light which looks correct to me. I noticed the door switch on the passenger side was broken so I have ordered a new one from Tom Roy which should come on Monday.[frame][/frame]

Hi Beero,

It's a 1964. I need to check but I think it's one of those Dual-personality ones http://dpminors.wordpress.com/

I will check the wire colour again and let you know for sure.

Cheers,
Scott

Thanks Andy,

Will check out the switch although I don't remember changing it in the past but maybe I did reconnect it incorrectly when car was originally restored.

I like your traveller looks same as mine.

Will let you know how I get on.

Cheers,

Scott

Hi, Just to give final update on this. After fitting new flasher unit and thinking all was sorted, I took the car for a run and as I was reversing out of my drive everything was working. I then pressed my brake pedal and everything stopped working. I went backed to basics and disconnected everything...

Hi, Eventually got back to this as my wife was focused on shopping and DIY this weekend so just managed to sneak back out to the garage and following all your excellent instructions. :D Ok I can confirm its not the horn. Followed the instructions to connect a couple of wires and off it went. Luckily...

Many thanks for this fantastic information. With a friend I managed to work out how my multi-meter worked and could see 12v going into lefthand side of the top fuse and only 0.04 going into the rights hand side. I replaced the fuse and hey presto 12v both sides. With bated breath I tried the horn. N...

Hi, Looking for some advice. The horn on my 1964 Morris Traveller has stopped working. I had been having some electrical problems for a while (See other posts) that was eventually tracked down to a faulty break pressure switch. That was replaced and all my indicator, fuel gauge problems and blowing ...

Hi, All sorted now. New flasher arrived from Tom Roy I rechecked the wiring and it works perfectly. :) The fuse stopped blowing when I replaced the old flasher unit for the spare one I had. Only problem was the spare one was not working as the indicator stalk bulb stayed on all the time. Very happy ...

Signed it!

Cheers,
Scott

Hi, Thanks for the updates. I do have it wired up correctly (I think) and the flashers are working when I switch the ignition on but when the indicator stalk is in the neutral position the light at the end stay's on. :cry: So I have ordered a new one from the very dependable Tom Roy which should arr...

Hi, Thanks for the responses. I have carried out some more tests and have narrowed it down to the Flasher Unit. When I disconnected the Green (G) wire the fuse did not blow. I had a new flasher unit I had bought a while ago when I was having problems with the indicator working erratically so I fitte...
