Morris Minor Owners Club

If it helps, the passbook from Miniphenalia below is very similar to the original I have for my 1972 pick up. The only different being on the back cover of mine "GUARANTEED QUALITY" is added, second picture.

Les, Take a look at the YouTube link below at 26 minutes, that long bar was under some pressure.

Potteries Branch Page has lots of useful identification information including speedos TPM etc... A snippet of the MM and Series 2 speedo info.

I suspect that the reason why your 1275 is set back is to do with the fact that the 1275 block is higher than the 948/1098 so the cooling fan hits the underside of the radiator header tank. So owners move the engine back to give clearance at the front. There are a few fixes without moving the engine...

Thanks Les.

It is square headed although the picture looks otherwise. I had a pair of them but during the restoration one went missing somewhere. As usual I'll find it at a later date when looking for something else.

Just on the off chance someone has a lynch pin before I make one. I know I can use the later type pin with a clip but would like the original design. Thanks.

Haha...yes these types of posts gather pace quickly....the 66 pick up I'm restoring has no brackets/overhead wooden former for the tilt...

The position of the brackets horizontally across the pick up side is correct and is very useful information, the depth position from the rail is the owners choice.

Les, This is my 72 pick up original hoop config.

Bill in the USA .

Bill, I sent you a PM. regards Keith

As stated it is a Lucas DKYH4A distributor, there are a couple of versions but the design is very similar. The MMOC club spares specializes in the early car spares so the parts are available, so worth joining the club if you are not already a member .

From the Alexander Laystall brochure..

Not my intention Les...you know me

Just to add to the reply from Les.

Depends which way up you mount the fuse carrier...

Not sure if this helps or confuses things...Image of my 61 van, there is only 1 brown wire coming out of the loom going to the pull starter switch!...

Front view. No heater and one windscreen wiper.
