Morris Minor Owners Club

Are you taking lessons in selective misquoting from the main stream media? This made me laugh... Currently i believe the main stream media to be rather spectacular!! Of course information from the internet is devils work, and not advised... even your doctor tells you that (although the NHS guide is...

Yes the clue is in the posting name and the signature picture which is the start line at Prescott speed hill course. The car has been used by myself on and off since the mid 1960s for speed hill climbing and sprints at club and national level. The car is very much modified with a approx. 135 bhp pl...

jaeki Even though the Wolseley brakes are swopped side to side there is no problem with bleeding the brakes, they are bled in the normal way. All I can say is that I have never had a problem in bleeding the Wolseley 1500 rear brakes. In some ways it is easier than bleeding the Minor rear brakes. Be...

Not very nice. Not everyone is an engineer.

All questions should be welcomed. We are here to help people; not get exasperated.

You explained that perfectly... and You got it RIGHT

Well, I wasn't sure whether you could interchange the brakes to a minor axle and didn't want to blabber and load of nonsense. So just a direct question. My poor minor has been buggered about with, came with a ford axle that is now on something else, and had a zetec engine which has meant a lot of bo...

[/quote] Pretty standard for the forums unfortunately, far too many people post questions without giving all the relevant detail..... :roll: [/quote] This maybe due to the fact that when people give a full description, other give up reading, loose interest and dont respond... something i have person...

Sorry, but i wanted the best advice, my minor has been played around with, and if having a minor axle would be better for whatever reason, i shall buy one! I didnt want advice based on my circumstances but based on what is the best set up!! Its relatively irrelevant whether i have a minor axle, its ...

Okay, well the situation im in is that i dont have a minor back axle i would need to buy one, and i already have an extended hand brake cable... so i could just use the wolseley axle i have and remove the handbrake gubbings, i wasnt sure if the wolseley axle was much heavier than a minor axle. There...

Thank you for your replies, If i were to put the backplates and brake onto a minor axle... what advantage is this as opposed to just using the wolseley axle? Also, the cylinders are at the rear of the axle... minor at the front? So would i need a longer handbrake cable? Or use the funky linkage from...

I purchased a saloon that had the 1.5 Wolseley axle along with a 1275 and gear box, a mod made in the 70's Sadly the car was beyond restoring so i removed the parts to put in my van. Question... Should i put the entire axle in the van, or just remove the diff and put it in the minor axle? Not 100% s...

Has anyone used Oval http://www.oval.co.uk/

Ive just bought some primer for my running gear as the website was easy to use and the guy there was really helpful. but wondered if anyone had used the paint or knows anyone.... just wondered what it was like good or not so good?

cheers

Hello fellow Minor owners, Im not overly keen on the black toggle switches in the later minors and seeing that im restoring my minor i have been looking at alternative switches... not very successfully i may add. I prefer the all metal toggle which some kit car manufactures make but im unsure whethe...

Ive just purchased a minor that should have its paperwork, but the seller said it was lost a long time ago and he had sold some parts off... including the bumpers, doors etc. Is there a way to find the car on the system (DVLA or MMOC or such) that will tell me the Reg plate so i can apply for the Lo...

It's a 1600 ford xflow, I know people do make an extra engine mount to attach to the engine bay, but it would be helpful to have some dimensions and picture as I would want to make one for my engine.

Currenlty fitting the xflow in my van, has anyone got any dimensions for engine mounting brackets? i have the original ones, but i have seen others make up the second ones to go onto the engine bay. Also, can the moggie rad be used? or have others used a Cortina or Escort rad? would love to use mogg...

Does anyone know the date which chrome grille was stopped? I have a 51 SMM and want to know if she should have painted or chrome. Also, what date did quarter light latch change from round to the squarer type along with the door pull? Any other features that would be date related would be most helpfu...

Has anyone heard of or used Oval Colour Centre? http://www.oval.co.uk/product-category/colourbook/car/bmc-british-motor-corporation/ if so are there any reviews? Ive just purchased a spray can as i want to sample a colour for my minor, but Craft Master do make it, just not in sample sizes. Is Craft ...

Traveller springs would probably be fine, give a far smoother ride

Can it do this? it was an advisory on the MOT saying that there was significant wear! Seeing ive just purchased the vehicle, i didnt know or even think that it could make the it wobble or swing?

Everything has been checked and it all seems good and tight.

I measured the commercial wheels the other day and they most certainly are not zero off set!! from hub face to front (outer) of rim measures 1.5" and from hub face to back (inner) rim measured 4.5 not adding up to a Zero off set like some people think. So what is the off set of morris minor whe...
