Morris Minor Owners Club

I have been looking at MCCS Engineering to have my engine rebuilt next year when I am further along with the restoration. So would be very interested to hear about who you use and how you get on.

You can get replacement guttering repair parts for Iain Mckenzie on ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?item=204049154474&rt=nc&_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l170197&_ssn=iain-mckenzie Does not look like he has a full set listed at the moment but you can message him about it. I have a set to...

I have been using 2mm.

I move engines around on a sack barrow. Its quite easy to shuffle and engine onto one and then strap it to the sack barrow so it does not fall off.

I got the LH one earlier in the year but the RH ones seems scarce. I managed to get one from Leadbetters ( 01257 275314 ) not sure if they have any left

I put one on my old van years ago and I wouldn't bother again. It was a pain to get to stay on even using extra glue some areas would sag after time. On my new van I will just use the sound deadening bitumen squares.

I had the marina kit on my last traveller with a servo and I was more than happy with it. I shall be using the same kit on my van

I am planning to start the restoration of my Van in June. Once I have removed the engine interior etc I will start cutting and welding new panels for the cab. Floor Hinge Panel Complete Sill B Post Repair Cab rear lower Panel Now it's been a while since I have restored a Morris Van and would like su...

I used large rubber castor cups on my traveller which stopped the carpet getting rust marks from the frame

To my van I fitted an alternator, two speed wipers (With controls now on new stork), uprated mini heater, heated front screen (Not really needed) and a brake servo (Kept the drums). Now my wife doesn't mind driving it. The heater and wipers help a lot in the rain and the brake servo makes braking fe...

Depends on the finish you want, you can brush cellulose with a 10% thinner but you will have your work cut out for a good finish.

One of those hobby hot glue guns will do it without causing any damage

I filled mine with fibre glass and boarded with hardboard

Meant grease nipples, have brakes on the brain Morris, mini and Land Rover

I think I may have found the problem, even thought the two sets of ends look different I think they are the same and I have been sent the same type twice!

I shall have a look. I think i am going to end up getting a new rack. Thing is I have had the van 21 years but cannot ever remember changing the track rod ends

Well I don't have thread gauges so rules that out. Does anyone have ideas of what racks do fit, it looks like a normal morris minor one. The track rod ends do not have bleed nipples in which is why i thought they may be from a marina. To be honest it has been a pain since I first started to get it b...

I think its 5/8 but i have tried 5/8 and 9/16 ends. what is TPI?

I have a 1971 van and I am trying to get track rod ends but it seems to have a different steering rack. I have tried the mm early and late ends as well as the marina but they are all too small. Does anyone know what type of steering racks could have been fitted as an easy replacement?
