Morris Minor Owners Club

I fitted a new wiring harness when I rebuilt my 1964 convertible in 2015 so it may not be as original but I did get everything working at the time. The fuel gauge is the Gold type and has worked perfectly but the needle did move about slightly as the fuel slopped around. Recently the oil pressure wa...

You were absolutely right johngrigg! When I stripped the cylinders from the back plate it was obvious they had been struggling to slide. It didn't help that when I had done my rebuild last year I had not removed the paint around that area. I also fitted new cylinders which were not flat at all where...

My rear brakes stick slightly when I brake normally. The handbrake works fine when stationary or even if I try it whilst driving. The brakes stick sometimes when I am driving normally and I have found I can release them by tugging the handbrake or by stopping and reversing or sometimes they release ...

Thank's everybody. I think I will try my local car trimmer with the pictures.The one on Ebay is a bit tatty and the last colour I wanted was black (sun heat etc)
Budgie...I'll let you know the outcome. If I do get a local company to make one for my car they will then have a pattern.

Has anybody got or seen or has a photo of a Tonneau cover for a Convertible (obviously!)
I am moving my 1964 LHD car to Spain this year and it would be easier than having to erect the hood each time I leave it parked etc.

All working fine now.
I ended up fitting a buzzer in the boot to make it legal. It was easier. Dont know how long I will be able to stand that noise though.

Thanks for the help

Thanks Guys. Does anybody know how I can wire a dashboard trailer indicator repeater?

I want to wire a towbar and have the cables already in place as part of the new Autosparks wiring loom I fitted last year. Autosparks recon I don't need any other flasher unit than the original one but to be legal I think I need a repeater on the dash? Also I have an LED light bar for the small trai...

As I had the sender I fitted it on a tee behind the gauge as you suggested. It works fine and it's good to have the oil pressure light working as well.
Thanks for all the advice.

A better picture[frame][/frame]

When I stuck my camera down the side of the engine I found another port!
I assume it's the port just under the screw on oil filter housing pointing down at an angle?[frame][/frame]

Thanks for the quick replies. It must be the small port near the starter motor then. That will be a real pain as I wanted to fit an oil pressure gauge!
I will try to post a picture

I do have another problem as I can't find the oil pressure switch take off on the block. Mine is a 1.3 Marina engine with the screw on oil canister where the pressure switch is normally positioned. I think it might be on the exhaust side of the block as there is a plug I haven't investigated yet.The...

Thanks for you confirmation. Almost everything is working, even the wipers park correctly. I just have the indicator switch and the rear lights to wire.

On my 1963 convertible rebuild I am just fitting a new wiring loom I got from Autosparks which I ordered with the addition of wiring for alternator. As a real novice to wiring am I right in assuming there is now no need for the voltage regulator I bought? the wires in the loom seem to mean just that...

Thanks everybody. I will look at all the options. I am going to be using the car to Spain so am fitting an electric cooling fan so there should be room for some type of breather on the timing chain cover.

No, there is no vent can on the timing chain cover. It is the 1.3 Marina engine with the screw on oil filter near the distributer

I am fitting a newly rebuilt 1.3 Marina engine to my Convertible. I have a fitted a Hif 38 carb and found all the connection info on this site but there seems to be lots of conflicting info on breathers. I know I must connect the Rocker box cover vent to the carb but what else? Should I take a vent ...

Sorted. I found one on Ebay. New Old Stock £18. Better than having to buy a whole unit.
