Morris Minor Owners Club

Dont mean to upset anyone on here, but what I personally dont agree with in concourse is that people think that they have to pollish every nut and bolt on the car so it looks like a mirror, also they have to think they have to get all the nuts facing the right way. In my oppinion its all a load of r...

When I tried to log on all i got was a message saying "spykids rule" or summet like that well done for getting it back though andrew

yes very true, Just out of intrest why do you want to remove the swage line anyway?

ok, then, I suppose you could use humbrol like some people have mentioned, or another good idea is to mix up small amounts or cellulose paint in tubs and paint it with a brush, This should give a good finish, but I don't know weather you would need to primer first.

I work at an upholsterers, And you can buy a kit that enables you to paint the piping around the seats to the required colour. I painted the whole of the seats on a car and the piping and the results are excellant. If the piping is damaged though it really shows it up.

As they are so cheap and easy to come by wouldnt it be easier to buy one, or do you want to keep it because it is origional to your car. Im sure that you can buy one exactly the same in good nick for your car.

Could you reverse the swage? by putting it through the swage maqchine the other way. That or you could cut down the middle of it and then shrink the metal and weld up the seem you have just made, Then when you grind the weld off everything should be ok, Just put a smear of seem sealant over it to st...

Change the whole heater for a mini one, I have been told they are a lot better, Dont look origional though. Or could you try looking and replacing the heater matrix?

Is the piston worn? I have just bought a carb overall kit from oldbury in birmingham, Must say that it is a great kit as you get everything you possibly need.

60 thou! god thats a lot ent it just for a skim. Have you had the bores re sleeved and bored too or just the head skimmed?

tar john did you get my email?

A friend showed me how to do lead loading, and i can honsetly say that it is a lot easier than expected. It is like spreading bu...

yea i did wear a mask when i sanded it down.  I used a body file first though to make life a little easier and to make sure i had all my fingers left at the end.

Yes you must tin the metal first as it makes the whole job a lot easier. I have got some pictures but dont know how to put them on hear. If anyone has an email address then could i email with the picies and then they put them on for me? Thanks sam

Have replaced the rear quater pannel on my 66 2 door. Instead of using filler when I had welded it in I Lead loaded it. Just want to say that I got most of it on the floor but the overall job was great. Has anyone else on here had a go at it?

You can buy are carb overall kit from thge morris minor centre in oldbury (J2 or J3 off the M5) I have ordered one for mine but have not got it yet.

Could you set the timing to something like 4 degrees before. and see if this cures the problem. also you could make yourself a heat diflector to direct the heat away from the fuel line to reduce vapourisation, then more fuel wil get to the carb more easily.

Have you got access ta a lathe, as my friend got clutch judder on his 1956 sunbeam. He put it in the lathe and took about 10 to 15 thow off, this seemed to cure the problem. Please note though that you cant really touch the clutch plate because any oil that gets onto it will just cause more clutch j...

Try AON as the club recomends them and you get a slight discount if your a club member. I shouldnt see why they would refuse you either really, is it a modded traveller.
