Morris Minor Owners Club

Is your vacuum advance pipe good as I had a poorly connected vacuum pipe which in turn caused a tiny judder on my Minor,(now the flexible clear pipe to carb is sealed airtight to the copper pipe with goo) The judder was just noticeable on deceleration during normal town driving, I didn't take it on ...

Unfortunately the Gearbox is my prime suspect from the symptoms described. I personally haven't had any luck with finding good used gearboxes and ended up rebuilding / repairing one but do check for play on them before fitting only a tiny amount of deflection is acceptable on the tail shaft preferab...

There is a little needle bearing at the end of the gearboxes first motion shaft that is always rotating both at idle and driving in gears. The gearboxes first motion shaft main bearing also working under both neutral and drive conditions the symptoms you describe could be wear in either bearing or b...

It was no picnic repairing that gearbox, it would have been easier to start with one that hadn't failed but now I am familiar with them I can see how the recon boys make their money! I reckon I could recon another in a fraction of the time I spent on this one! My plan of getting a good used 1098 gea...

My polybush kit 18 months ago was all green but I cant remember if its esm or bull motif

update:- The gearbox was very repairable. I fitted new bearings interlock washer and two bronze bushes new indent pin and twist clip thingy! new tailshaft bush reamed + tailshaft seal! Its now fitted to the car and working well. It wasn't the easiest job I've done on a vehicle but I got there in the...

Hopefully I'm getting a good used gearbox tomorrow my plan is to repair the other box at my leisure and keep it as a spare if not prohibited by parts costs as there could be more damaged components than the interlock washer Im just wondering what the odds are of Bush 3rd Gear Pt No: 2A3290 and Bush ...

I'm Just wondering if anyone has successfully repaired a 1098 gearbox and with this fault, this came out with the gearbox oil (key for ease of scaling) I think its an interlocking ring for 2nd/ 3rd gear. The symptoms were:- I could just get 2nd gear sometimes if I double declutched but it was pot lu...

Yes I was thinking the same but as it likes to click with the ignition on and the engine not running on so it will probably still click when driving around. But I think its only maintaining a bit of pressure in the fuel line to the float chamber. I'm just studying cop 11 for the LPG installers regul...

I'm just at the thinking stage and gathering parts at the moment, But in my kit I have a fuel cut-off solenoid to put in line for the petrol supply to the float chamber this will still leave the fuel pump live though but I think it will be ok as its the same principle as a float valve. I have consid...

I have had three modern LPG vehicles over the last decade and currently own a Jaguar xj6 on LPG, no insurance companies have ever asked for any certification for the LPG systems and they have all been declared LPG modified for insurance purposes sometimes it costs a little extra, sometimes its a fre...

This seems to be the issue with off the shelf stuff, it's all for bigger thirstier, engines. My interest was peeked many years ago when a chap in a Morris Minor got nicked for driving with a gas bottle in the back and the pipe just running via the gutter into the carb! Probably for pinching the gas...

further update - I have been in touch with tinley tech and afer a little deconsrtuction and reconstruction of the air intake and a few pictures were emailed to them and dimensions taken, they have recommended this mixer but it may be 5mm over spaced for the two mounting bolts but they have advised m...

Update - So far I've emailed Tinley tech for mixer advice and await their reply also I will document the process of the installation as my morris has a facebook page set up buy the previous owner that I frequently contribute too as the new owner. New members are always welcome https://www.facebook.c...

I do have the option to have one fabricated, I just need to send the dimensions to an ebay seller but I was hoping somebody on here knew which mixer would fit to save me taking things in bits etc.

Hello, I'm about to convert my Morris minor to LPG I have parts on order and a suitable tank but I have not got a LPG mixer to bolt in between the carb. I'm just wondering if anyone can enlighten me as to which LPG mixer I require and ideally point me in the direction of a supplier. Its a 1963 1098 ...
