Morris Minor Owners Club

little update I have now successfully welded the floor to the car and the car is now on the ground again, today i fitted up the rear shoes on the escort axle, and changed the front standard marina wheel studs to Rover metro items which have a larger bore to suit my Weller wheels, the studs off a met...

This looks the same as my one good bit of kit fits like a glove in my 2 door bit of a squeeze to get in let alone getting it in a 4 door

My one has no markings on it to establish where it came from but that's kinda the standard design so all of these prob look similar

You would have to modify the Morris loads to make that fit more than likely to space frame it with the correct mounting point to accept the back however if you were to do this you would include the mr part in your initial plans Also you would have to ditch the front engine or convert the front to fw...

Looking a the picture of the glove box mount I won't be able to do this with my setup as I have the dash with two gloveboxes and don't want to convert to the later style so under dash may be the way forward

Two of probably the best places, I can now see a partial problem with the glovebox position however can possible be resolved with lowering the column but I've heard it's a bad idea. Bmc did you fab your mounting bracket up or is it a piece that can be bought, I've seen the singular pods that can be ...

Hi all just bought 3 gauges one oil pressure a water temp and a volt gauge all with chrome binacles so will not look out of place with the standard centre cluster I would like to see where others have placed the gauges in the car, obvious place would be in my drivers side (right hand) glove/storage ...

Hotrodder The slots you have are a nice offset possibly +10 or lower, my wellers I have are 7x13 et 13 approx and are online with the body

They give a nice stance to your car

I'm putting one in mine not started on fitting it yet as got to finish off some welding I bought a 1600 lump with a modifyed prop that uses the fiat one possibly shortened with a ford flange that fits to the diff I've already installed a rs ford axle which is a good axle for the power and easily upg...

thanks for help seems like its the one, to be sure ill take some pics at the weekend then ill try to souce part from esm as they have diffrent part numbers to the hadrian panels although i think they use them

cheers

Need a bit of advice on ordering a panel The section of the car behind the door on underside of the car near where the spring hanger is there is a Cill that is coroded it runs under the car from the rear wing and up to the centre crossmember I only found it when I have rolled the car on it's side it...

Further to my post earlier on today for the first time I have located my escort axle and at very dusky light I quickly fitted the damper and can see a point that if the suspension is at it's minimum tension point ie if it had no or very little downwards force on it the shock would stop a partial amo...

Hi, i didnt realise i had replies, i have to set up the instant notification in the user CP.. i have got a set of mini dampers now due to the fact of lack of information on the original ones that came with the kit and not by choosing the dampers by ignorance. The fact is the mini ones are about 1/2 ...

Thanks for the replies guys

I think I'll try the extension bars and see how that goes

I'll take some pics and put it on my project page

Cheers

just found out that JLH sells two cables that fit for £50, are these custom made to fit the morris or just cables that fit off another car?

if they are custom made and everyone on here that has a escort axle uses these then fair enough no other choice

cheers

Hi All, fitted up for a trial my rs escort axle and had in my mind the cables from the morris would be a direct bolt on by making up some brackets welded to the axle but no.. the minor ones are roughly 3" too short. can anyone tell me how everyone has got around this, what cables to use, where ...

thanks for the comments, bit of a leaning curve really as ive never cut open a car so much, my weldings not the best in the world but as i have heard, practice makes perfect! little bit more than a 1275, im fitting a fiat twin cam, ive got a 1600 at the moment. more than likely going to make that fi...

Hi All, though id post up my little resto project of a 1960 2 door minor. last refurbished mid 90's buy a chap who lived in Essex and sold onto my Mother, car has not been used for some years now, probably last used regularly 2000-2002?? and been a front driveway ornament since. The local pikeys hav...

In the end I bought a set of uprated gas mini shocks, there about half an inch shorter than the old duff ones from the Owen burton bolt on front and rear kits that I've got which should not be a problem as I've lowered the car I phoned up esm who supply the kits now it seemed like it was a secret an...

Hi again, looking at mini dampers on e-bay they seem to be in the pictures too short as said above so stil lhave no idea what to get... i have this kit here: http://morrisminorspares.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?products_id=1455&osCsid=97ede8d3792b930e3f0e3c1ce5a8710d they seem to sell dampers on...

Thanks for the info but I ask what dampers do the kits use for front and rear so I can get replacements for mine as my originals are shot

Cheers
