Morris Minor Owners Club

will have to drive polio for the time being to dull for me

Thanks Louise as it's built in 1960, does that mean it is mot exempt per chance ?

cheers

for college home work, we have to do a bit of research on Vin numbers, and out of curiosity, i thought I would find out about mine. So can anyone make any sence to as what each number/ letter means ? Car No: M/AS3 871975 My car is a 1961 4 door saloon and was imported to newzealand where it was firs...

Thanks, so all i need is marina discs, calipers and rear axle?

so i could be asking for trouble, but how did this guy do it? http://mmoc.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=37087&start=45 did almost have a male accident when i saw this

Or.. probibly a stupid zaney idea but if finding parts for a marina are so dificult, how hard would it be to use mgf barkes/axels? as spares are easily available and would be designed to take those wheels.

how difficult and expensive is this as i can kill two birds with one stone here (alloys and uprated brakes)
as i would have to spend £160 on tyres and more money on the drums anyway so could be cheaper to modify my car than to restore brakes and wheels?

Hi, have just seen a clean set of mg tf alloys on the bay for a good price and very local, just wondering does anyone know if they fit straight on a minor ? cheers

He (Borris) :) sad arent I but well i was only going to paint the wings to treat them from rust as they can be deer to replace. But thanks, I have painted te internal gearbox cover placte thing in the colour and it's slightly brighter but not toodifferent, i might just bite the bulley and do it tomo...

I have been told that my car is smoke blue, but being as it is a newzealand import, the paint has been burnt to (fill in own word here) :) but the wings had been taken off to be primed up nicely. but being on a tight budget and scheduel, i'm just going for a rat look anyway as this is far cheaper th...

the day before i'm 17 could have driven up there on provisional

other clubs, they often have a technical section locked to non paying members and really don't like having too much technical mentioned outside of the members area or otherwise people just abuse the clubs, particuarly if they are smaller clubs. i haven't really been in the members bit before so i as...

Thanks Louise its just that I don't use this club forum enough and i know that others don't like technical questions to be open to non paying members.

and here is a picture of the firenza alloys[frame][/frame]

would have posted this in the members section but seem to have misplaced my minor matters at the minuet. Hi probibly a question that has been asked here several times before but how easy is it to fit mg rostyles to a morris minor? While i am on the subject of alloys, i was also thinking about sticki...

so... nitty gritty man hours it is then thanks for your help

underneath my restoration minor, i have spent 200 on welding and it's all sound. However, there is still a considerable amount of surface rust underneath, it's not rot through, just niggly and could turn to rot a couple of years down the line. I asked a friend of mine and he reccons, not to rub down...

Found the chassis numbers and on the back in pen is. 49y32y.I wonder if that is the NZ reg?

Well, I have wd40'd the oil off to see what is tidy and what is tatty and now I'm going to rub down and prime the areas with surface rust and get the primer sprayed over during the respray later on, so it's not that much effort for a shinney engine bay touch wood!

Hi Andrew, in my log book, it says that the chassis number is 871975 and the engine number "NOT STATED" hope this helps
