Morris Minor Owners Club

Thanks for the reply pgp001.
I've tried to finish by tightening up the nut with the washer placement as suggested, but the stud just spins in the socket!
Do I have to hammer the stud into the steering arm?
Seems rather brutal.

Dear all. I'm most perplexed by this apparent simple problem. I removed the old ball joint as it was knackered and bought a pair of new ones. On replacing I'm stuck on what washers go where as the new ones only came with a locking nut. Does anything go between the ball joint, the steering arm and th...

Thank you Jim, Taupe and Don.
I thought it was going along too smoothly.

Hell yes. That is just what I need. I picture paints a thousand words...
I look forward to your uploads.
Thank you all.

Thanks for the replies Rod and Jim, and I appreciate the tips regarding tweaking the Mig. I'll certainly bear that in mind next time I fire it up. This project is taking place on the front drive so I'm limited to fair weather fixing. I'm still troubled by my work so far. Putting aside the standard o...

Thanks for all your replies - I'll give is a go - when I get round to it... No mystery really bmcecosse. It was obvious that there was rust which needed attention. I just had no idea how much fibreglass there was where once there was metal! The wing had to come off. But - i've hit another problem wh...

Hi Big Jim
I'm going to attempt a butt weld as lap welding creates moisture traps and encourages rust. (so my course tutor told us).
I think the best option is to cut new panel and car flat to the angle and do a super smooth corner weld.
Is this the better way?

Hi All. I've plucked up courage to revisit my project and tackle the Morris. This past year I've attended evening classes at my local college and have certificates in Mig and Tig welding so I'm confident I can do the necessary. SO - new parts ordered, but I need a little advice please. I have an inn...

Hi All. Second post on the forum so be gentle, and no, I don't have acting parts in a film. My 2 door 1967 Morris 1000 failed it's MOT - I've only had her for 18 months. To get easier access to the front brakes and ball joint (fail), I took off the front wing, and that's when the horror story began....

On a scale of 1 to 10, it looks like a 3. To make you feel a little better, I removed the sill trim on my Morris this weekend. I've rated mine an 8. :cry: [frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1436308370_19047 [/frame][frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1436308400_19047 [/frame][frame] h...
