Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi, I'm currently re assembling my 1951 MM and one of the things that needs replacement is the rear tail lamp Base (Early 803cc LMP117) and gasket and I can not find any for sale. So I guess I have to replace the whole unit. Can anyone suggest a good replacement for the whole units? Do the ones for ...

So you suggest i leave the gap empty? ( i don't have the trim to fill the gap.)

I'm not sure if I understood properly. When you say Trim you are referring to the interior right?

Believe it or not, I'v never seen an mm in Malta before! The Morris 1000 were quite common on the rounds but now you don't see them very often either. That photo was taken years ago i think. That morris still has the old number plates on and now we have been with the European number plates for at le...

I see what you mean....it's depressing reading al that. Someone's sending you postcards from Malta! :) You should have been giving some professional advice than no doubt about that. If you can do the trick I'll get you a ticket to Malta....and when the Morris is ready I'll drive you back to England....

We just installed the split screen on the moggy. I ordered new rubber...and when it was fitted, there still remains a gap of about 1cm from the body to the rubber! The rubber doesn't seem to go any further in. Has anyone encountered this problem before?

There's one available right now. It's not what one would call cheap either...

Yes the scissor jack will do the trick. I don't really like using trolley jacks to change wheels. Trolley jacks have wheels on and if there is a slight slope, it makes it really unsafe to use it!

Thank you guys for your help. Much appreciated. I will be taking your advises and use a modern jack. But for originality purposes I will be keeping the old jack in the car.

Thanks a million.

Hi,

I am restoring a 1952 split screen morris minor. I bought it very recently and the jack is different from the later morris minor models. I was wondering if these were jacked differently as it does not have that bar running beneath the car fromm sill to sill.

Can any one help?

Thanks
