Morris Minor Owners Club

thanks for the advice, with regards to the (Austin or rover?) metro rad, has anyone else fitted one? I'm thinking that a metro rad with electric fan (may as well have temp gauge as well) would actually be quite a good idea, and cheaper to sort out when it goes wrong in the future... Is it just a cas...

please could somebody tell me which radiators fit a minor other than minor ones (unless someone has one for sale near Bristol), maybe a marina one, or something like that...just sprung a leak, and need to fix it a bit sharpish without resorting to radweld.. thanks, Ben.

true true it would look terrible, but it would be acting as a "stop gap" until i did find a round smiths type one. I dont fancy running the car without a temperature gauge for a long time. I do have the space already for a round gauge, as i have a mechanical gauge, but it has broken.

Thanks for the suggestions, turns out ESM have a pipe afterall, never dealt with them before but they seem very helpful. With regards to a temperature gauge (electrical) does anybody know whether a metro sender would fit the minor head? well, an early metro anyhow. and then, for a cheap gauge could ...

ahh, thats good news, thanks Alec. I have since found that the male brake hose fits the female gauge pipe only i would need a brake hose with two female ends so i can't do that. Would you know where abouts i could get a pipe from, charles ware couldnt help, and also which one would be most easy to g...

Hello everybody... I have a slight problem with my oil pressuree gauge, on wiring in an interior light, one of my mystery wires melted through the pipe connecting the oil pressure gauge to the block. Having now found out that the Alexander- made gauge that i have is quite rare i'm not sure what to d...

Hello, my car just passed its first mot, which is great. However i'm having a bit of bother with the marina discs. The thread where the four bolts clamp the hub to the disc has been stripped, which means that i should really get new discs, rather than re-tapping the thread. I need to know which cars...

ahh, that makes perfect sense, thanks very much. Now to find a mini with that type of gauge...

that sounds like an excellent idea, although does the live feed have to come from the speedo, why not a different one?

Okay, i have one fitted at the moment, but am not sure exactly how to remove it, it looks as though it has been bodged in and so i don't want to damage the head on removal. Any ideas where i could get a mecury gauge? or possibly how to fit an electical one in the same place would be great. (cars in ...

can anyone tell me how to fit a new temp gauge to my car, mercury type? Not sure how its fixed to the head. Thanks.

Hello all, we have a slight problem on welding a couple of days ago, the torch of our welder broke. I think that a small piece of weld dripped down into the shroud and burnt the end of the torch badly. when we tried to unthread the shroud, the end broke off. none of the usuals like machine mart have...

hey all, is it possible to get everything you need for a spin off oil filter from a mini, or allegro etc?

Job done at last, and the front one. Rear screen was a nightmare.

yep thats it kevin about 4/5mm thick probably not meant for mixing board,(or indeed door cards) but thats what we used it as. Its almost like cardboard, as once half cut im sure you would be able to tear it. Looks as though its made from millions of tiny fibres bonded together, although its not mdf....

Ahh! i have found the posts at last, im changing my rear screen tommorow hopefully, and dont have a clue how to other than what the book says, common sense, and the fact that we did my brothers imp front screen about 2 years ago. I know this might be a pain of a question, but can someone give me a d...

i made mine out of some old mixing board we had lying around, and covered them with some old curtains, which fade between light and dark brown!

please can someone compare the imp to the minor handling wise

what about compared to a hillman imp, my brother and his imp friends all rave on and on about how well imps handle.....

Where abouts can i get one of those throw away oil filter canister kits from, and about how much do they cost?
