Ok it took me some time to get around to measuring it but its 1 and 1/4 inch between the flats

I think that nut is the only think the car doesn't have wrong with it. I bloody forgot to take a tape measure! I want the indicator stalk off as I think it has rusted up a bit and only works if I put pressure on it (i.e. away from my body) when indicating. Also the indicator light cap on the end has...

This is the nut I was talking about[frame][/frame]

It is a set on e-Bay I am looking at. I phoned and asked he measured them and said they were 4inch. Maybe he wasnt checking accurately enough? 1.6mm out and my studs will fall off from what everyone is saying

Thanks for your help

I suppose there is only one way to find out for sure!

Sorry! One more stupid question.

Will 6J wheels fit?

I will measure it at the weekend but it is much bigger than 1.3 inches. I have a 3/4 whit socket and it doesnt get close.

The nut is much bigger than 3/4. I popped the horn out and the plate under it and there is this massive nut to undo.

Might try the chisel

Hi

Does anyone know the size of socket needed for the massive nut that holds the steering wheel on?

I have a garage find that I have slowly got working again but the tyres need replacing as they have perished so it is all still original.

Cheer for the help. One more thing will any 4 stud formation rims fit the morris?


Luke

That's 185 60 15 right? Sorry I have no idea what all these measurements mean.

Hi

Could someone let me know the maximum size of wheels and rims/profile you could recommend? (1967 4 door).

Regards

I connected the wires and the indicator worked reconnected the flasher unit and now they flash! Strange.

It's has got +5 on it.

It's a 4 door morris minor 1000 1967.

It was a garage find and has been sitting there for about 10 years! Has under 20,000 on the clock.

It is a cylindrical unit but I cant remember what it has written on it. I will have a look come the weekend. Its still a positive earth car. If it was faulty would the light still come on like I am seeing though?

Yeah everything seems to be working ok, both indicators turn on and all the lights work as to does the horn. I did a straight swap for the flasher unit so I think I didnt get it wrong. Is it possible the flasher unit is new but faulty?

Hi

My indicators would not work so I replaced the flasher unit but now they turn on but stay on and dont flash. Any ideas??


Luke

The socket I have would fit the bolts but the socket gets larger to allow the 1/2 wrench if that makes any sense?

Hi

I have a morris 1000 and want to remove the sump. I am having a problem getting a socket or spanner to fit the bolts as they are so close to the sump. I was thinking of buying some box spanners and trying that. Anyone got a better idea?
