Morris Minor Owners Club

I have been reading all of your discussion. I have replaced both trunions, replaced bushes on tie rod, track rod ends, I have rebuilt the kingpin re fixed the torsion bar, fitted front telescopic shock absorbers I now have a kingpin that catches the top of the tyre and struggling to get the wheel al...

Thank you everybody

I found Lancaster cheaper than Footman James and gave guaranteed value without too much hassle.

I saved this Morris minor from sure scrapping, she's a1957 4 door with full history from day of sale, all welding is done now and just started to rebuild.[frame][/frame]

I've put alfa 156 seats in and JLH Morris minor spares supply the seat bases they work well.

Work begins on Nanna Marissa a 1957 4 door 948 cc.[frame][/frame]

My 1957 car has a 948 cc engine any ideas what the standard diff was used I.e ratio

I saw one advertised on ebay

Thanks bmcosse much appreciated, so I have another option of diff then, never thought about changing the speedo.

Thank you for your help, the axle is the original and I suspect the diff is the original. You have been msg helpful I just need to keep an eye out on a 3.9 reasonable priced. Thanks guys

So any pros and cons to what differential ratio I should go for as 3.9 seems to be scarce at reasonable price.

Thank you for your help as always, I, going to try and find a 3.9 diff at a reasonable price I allready have a midget gearbox, thanks once again for your advice.

Is there any difference with the axle and half shafts from a 1957 ,and a later type 1098. I'm putting a midget 1275 engine into a 1957 4 door and wondering wether I should put 1098 half shafts in and a midget diff?

Welcome, you will find the members of great help and I am sure one or two us will have a spare part lying around.

I seem to remember more catering last year, the catering was poor

Only the national rally at Oxford there must have been around 300 minors there

Looks great I used to be a member of the West Yorkshire Morris minor club 25 years ago when I lived in Leeds.

Sorry meant to say has anybody converted a 4 door saloon to pickup?

has a body converted a 4 door into a pickup and if so any advice?

There seems to be a common thread as I was 15 when I started messing with moggies, at the grand old age of 42 I'm still messing around with moggies with my 8 year old soon. It seems once you start with moggies you continue.
