Morris Minor Owners Club

Thanks all, yes these are the ones you sold me Dennis.
I looked closely in the place described and you can just make out the LP917 under the powder coating.
Will probably put them on eBay this week unless anyone has any offers?
Thanks
Dave

I have a set of van wheels which i bought from a forum member many years ago and have never used. As part of my garage clearout I am looking to sell these but I know the first question I will be asked is "are they stamped LP917 etc etc" The answer is I dont know, where is this stamp to be ...

Thanks everybody for your suggestions.
I put in a new switch and hey presto problem solved.
MOT was this afternoon and passed with flying colours!
Thanks
Dave

I have a problem with the brake light which come on when the ignition is turned on.
Have checked wiring and all seems ok.
When the brake light switch fails do the brake lights
come on or not work at all??

I need to fit a new clutch to my 1098 saloon.
When I check the prices for kits comprising pressure plate, friction plate and release bearings there is a huge difference in price, from around £70 to £170. What is the real difference in quality??

Thanks for that George. The reason I was asking was that I had responded to a for sale item on this board regarding a 1275 unit c/w 5 speed gearbox and fitting kit. You may recall an ad where comment was made about vultures circling!! :D :D Well today the vulture landed and I picked up these items.I...

For those of you who have this set up already, what are the main components I need to source (apart from engine and box).
Are there any modifications to the car to accept this set up?
Is it worth the expense / hassle?

Thanks for your input
Dave

Slightly off topic but I have just got my frogeye running to find that the "reconditioned box" jumps out of reverse, leaks oil and is difficult to engage third. It has the smooth case box similar to the Minor, and I have two other of these boxes at home but dont want the hassle of taking o...

Thanks for that Mike it confirms what everyone said

(by the way pictures are ok on my screen)

The inlet ports on head and manifold line up Roy
Looks like the link posted by LouiseM is a similar set up as used on early Minis! Thanks Louise
Dave

I tried the manifold on an old 948 A series head and it fits. Does that mean that this is from a BMC rather than a Ford or did they have similar sized heads.

Some time ago i bought this pair of 1 1/8 Su Carbs for my frogeye. I never fitted them because the carbs didnt seem to be a handed pair.
Any idea what they are off??

I'm still trying to find out how a 'carcoon' works - I can't see blowing in damp air can possibly do much good - so - is the air dried before it's blown in ? Roy The air is not dried or heated before going through the chamber but is merely blown through over the car, I suppose it is a bit like driv...

Having seen the beginnings of a discussion on carcoons on another thread I thought it would be useful to start a fresh topic on the subject. I have used a "carcoon" now for about 12 years. Actually the one I have is not a Carcoon but is an Airchamber which is the same principle but has a f...

could it be an internal radio aerial fitted to windscreen?

I am sure that "in a box in a safe place " I have a set of Wolseley drums, /backplates, springs and a set of four NOS wheel cylinders. I will try and find them tomorrow and if so put them on Parts for Sale

I have a towbar which was bent when a truck rear ended my daughter's car. It still has all the fittings etc but the angle iron is bent.
It is free to anyone who wants to take it away and play with it.
I live near Warrington in Cheshire
