Morris Minor Owners Club

Oh definately, working on it is half the fun. I try to use it as much I can, but not long journeys, it just makes a nice change from my very comfortable but sterile ever day car. I'm trying to get all the little bits and pieces done before the 14th of June for the classic run in Coventry and a smoot...

it looks like a Revotec kit. I fitted one to our Minor 2 years ago. Fitting it took me 4 hours but it was worth it. I've got it wired to a permanent live so that it can cut in after the engine has been switched off.

Sounds like a plan, cheers

Thanks, got mine today.
bought a variable thermostat as well, yay another job to do

Hi.
just a quick one.
what size fan did you get? My son works for a comany that sells these and there's a choice of 9 inch 12 inch and up.
just wondered what size will fit.

Cheers.

Paul,

Turns out that was a dud as well so I've just bought a dynamator which certainly looks the part, will let you know the results when I finish fitting it

From those photos it dosen't look too bad, sludgy mess of oil and water, as long as it is just surface rust and staining then it should clean up OK, as long as there are no pits in the teeth. The front bearing as you say has had it. 1st gear looks like its had a charmed life, has this box been used...

There are no outer circlips fitted to the lay-shaft of a Minor 1098cc gearbox. All you have is the two inner circlips Pt No: 22G278, the distance piece Pt No: 22G277, the two roller bearings Pt No: 88G396. The roller bearings are retained in their working position by front thrust washer Pt No: 2A30...

Don't know why the picture won't upload, I'll try later.

Thanks bmcecosse, yes the front bearings are pretty ropey, looks like the oil has seeped away over time and been replaced by water, although it looks like the water has reached 4th gear i think the damage is superficial, but I'll be changing all the bearings. Update! Managed to get it all apart and,...

So am I right, in your last post you just lift up by the output shaft and tap the housing down to remove it?

Hi Biomed, unfortunately the decision about the 1st/2nd hub has been made for me, whilst fiddling I slipped it too far back and got hit in the eye with a spring. but I was looking around online yesterday and found a video explaining how to reassemble and it looks really simple, it employed a cable t...

Have a butchers at this. http://www.mmoc.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=58486 Pretty much the definitive guide and there's a PDF with all the strip down stages, with pics, second page from the end, brilliant :) Wow!! thanks panky and thanks biomed that is absolutely bloody perfect! :D I hope it's q...

Hi all, I have recently purchased a gearbox and I initially thought it was seized solid, as it wouldnt turn by hand. as it turns out it was in 2 gears locking it up. It actually looks like a pretty good box with no wear or broken teeth, the only damage seems to be water damage on the input bearings ...
