Morris Minor Owners Club

Instead of spending all that money getting a Morris Minor to Mongolia- why not give the money to charity yourself?? The point of these kind of things is that it provides somethine tangible for friends/family/colleagues to support. Whereas A.N.Other might not give, say 10 quid to providing water in ...

I can only speak for myself, but I don't want any other seat in my car. I want a Morris Minor seat and if...

Thanks for the input folks.

Have you changed the clutch? If you did have you ensured that the clutch plate has been centralised with an alignment tool. I once spent a day trying to mate an anglia engine and gearbox. Centralising the clutch with a tool enabled it to go straight in.

Thanks for the advice so far. If there is any small pitting could it be filled with Isopon or something like that before re-chroming?

My 948 rear lights are a bit tatty. My local classic garage tells me they are made of mazac (I don't know if that's the correct spelling), has anyone had any success re-chroming mazac?

Shawn, You are looking at measuring the Amperage of your component. Assuming you were only provided with two leads with the Meter, the RED lead goes into the socket marked '10A DC'. The black lead will go into the black socket, presumably marked 'COM' or similar. Please be aware that when measuring ...

shawn,

You wouldn't use any of the ranges in the photo because they measure resistance. Send a photo of the whole multimeter and we'll see what you have got.

onne,

I bet that goes to the hooter.

Onne, Check the wiring coming off of your A2 fuse. On my 1962 there are only 3 purple wires. 2 wires for 2 horns and 1 wire for the interior light. I've looked at the wiring diagrams in the BMC manual and the A2 appears to feed horn and interior light on all models up to the end of the 948. I don't ...

how do you know the amperage of the wiper motor? I did an exercise last year to see how much current a newly fitted rear screen heater drew. While I was at it I looked at a number of other components including my windscreen wiper. This is what I did: I disconnected the brown wire from the A termina...

lock the drum and then back-off one click only.

When I just back-off with one click the drum does not turn completely freely. Does this mean that I should perhaps back-off until it does not 'catch' while turning the wheel?

My '62 948 uses a 3/4 Whitworth for steering wheel nut. I understand from previous correspondence that Series 11s need a 7/8 whitworth Box Spanner.

Shawn,

The simplest way to get amperage is to divide the Watts by the voltage.

So for instance a 21 watt stoplight = 21/12 which is one and three quarters amp. 60 watt headlamp bulb = 60/12 which is 5 amps.

Willie, Thanks, your reading is the same as mine. Presumably if you installed it yourself open and closed would be obvious, but It's a bit odd that nowhere seems to give the answer. I don't particularly want the 'fresh air' but closing it might be useful to stop nasty smells, smoke etc. from getting...

Regarding 'British' I have a lot of fun with my daughter-in-law who comes from Northern Ireland. Great Britain comprises of England, Scotland and Wales only. She lived in the 'United Kingdom' which comprises of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. She "hates" being told she's not British.

Cam, If you have the Workshop Manual AKD 530 (14th Edition) -- My CD from ebay is this version -- details of the Fresh Air Conversion Kit Installation are near the back in section SS3. The manual doesn't say where the fresh air is drawn in from. It just talks about removing a blanking plate in the c...

Gareth, Thanks. I have never seen any 'operating instructions' for the fresh air vent so I assume that when the knob is pulled out the vent is open and when pushed in the vent is closed.

Jeff,

I found I needed to suppress my dynamo as well. That's what I was getting most of my noise from.

Ray,

I understand your point about this time of year, but I haven't noticed any difference for 10 years
