Petrol Sender

After some help. We have a 1960 Minor fitted with a Black Speedo and 1098 engine. When the fuel tank is empty the fuel gauge reads half full. We think the sender is the original for 948 engine. Do I need to obtain a 1098 sender for the fuel gauge to register correctly? Any help much appreciated.

Re: quarterlight window fit

After taking the quarterlight window out this morning we have discovered the brass tube it sits in within the frame has split so maybe this is allowing the seals to push the window out of alignment, new part added to the future shopping list. Thanks for your replies we have lots of small issues with...

Hi, can anyone advise us if its possible to adjust the quarterlight window to get a better fit, on ours you can see theres a gap.

Re: Wiring Loom Fire

He did say it would come in under 400 for it all, but I think after discussing with John last night we will go for the alternator option instead.

Re: Wiring Loom Fire

Haha, I found a local garage who advertises that he does a lot of work on Morris minors and grew up with them, therefore I would class him as a bit of a specialist compared to us being newbies. The wiring is exactly as we picked it up and the seller told us it had recently had a new loom which we ar...
