Morris Minor Owners Club

Thanks a lot.
Mick

Just been sorting some gear to sell.I have a complete 948 engine here thats not seized but will probably need a rebuild.I noticed that on the other side of the rocker cover to the Austin/Morris plate(sorry cant remember which without uncovering it again)there was another plate with "Weslake&quo...

Same method as removing it from steel.You dont have to remove it unless its oil based and youre using celly or two pack.Youre just flatting to give a good surface for the new stuff.

Agree with the post above.I recently replaced my bolts with stainless and had to pull the glass channel to remove the bolts.Woodscrews are a no no.

Yeah £35 plus vat for a half pallet.I got a quote for one from the from the IOW and it jumped £50.Still a good price though.
Mick

Just undo those you can and rip the fibreglass wing off the others carefully.Then get a molegrip on the screwheads.
Mick

For future reference speedshift.co.uk charge £35 plus vat for a half pallet up to 600kg.

My post was in reply to the question about the primer cracking not the general thread.

JDA 28K just been advertised in the for sale section has a full width rear door.Neverr
seen this before.
Mick

That's why I use 2k.Chemical reaction over air drying.No contest.If it had been available back in the day they would have used it.
Mick

Well in theory its just screwed into the woodwork.Why do you expect it to be a problem?
Mick

You will definitely need the door off to do the welding at its front end but could leave it in situ until then for alignment purposes.
Mick

Agree with the last post.However there was so much going on my old brain has no chance remembering it all until the next episode!
Mick

Same here,body filler straight onto bare metal.Its probably a good idea for anyone wanting to learn to paint to start with a small item,bike tank,moggy wing etc.Painting a whole car is a different ball game.
Mick

Just needs a nice pair of headlamp peaks to finish it off.
Mick

Makes it all the more worrying about MOT exempt pre 1960 cars.There will be people that buy them primarily so they don't have to bother about all that safety stuff.
Mick

Fantastic idea!Best of luck with it,I'm sure you'll get plenty of good advice and possibly even offers of help from enthusiasts close by.
Mick

Thats the jumping mouse syndrome.It happens when you get to 46600 postings on forums.Will probably never happen to the average forum user.
Mick

Its easy to get sidetracked with old methods of working(don't get me wrong I'm full of admiration of what was achieved with the tools and resources available at the time).If the technology,tools and materials we use today had been available then they would have been used.
