Morris Minor Owners Club

Thank you for the great feedback, It's interesting to see others point of view. This venture is still in the early stages and this forum is contributing to the overall research needed to establish the complex market. Whilst there is positive and negative here, each is just as important to us to help...

Les, what I mean is if the demand is there then we can look at investing in bulk to reduce costs and pass on to the customer. Lets face it nearly 200 people have clocked this thread and only a few companies have been mentioned as suppling the type of tools people are looking for. It would seem they ...

Thanks guys, The situation as I see it is far from perfect, only a handful of companies are really selling quality trade tools such as metal working and shaping. The reason being they are individually selecting these tools from seperate manufacturers and putting together there collection. Don't get ...

Good point alex, I dont much like general rubbish being sent everytime a new spanners on the market either. however I am always open to new technology and tool development. I suppose it could be said a good supplier should talk to there customers and establish what there aims and wants are and avoid...

Fantastic, this is the sort of good feedback I am looking for. When you have only one supplier they seem to dominate the market. I see no reason why we can't talk to the producers and if the market demands this sort of tooling, supply at a realistic price via lower overhead at shows , websites etc.....

Yes the more grown up things, there are so many domestic product traders we dont need another one.

Quality trade tools, and worshop equipment, if there is any certain field people require tools and feel is important to them let me know, it will assit me in my market research

Cheers

Cheers Orkney, yes your right the outlay will be big, along with the cost of a purpose built web site and design. I have spoken to suppliers and web designers and at the moment all the sums add up, the only issue is establishing the publics view on tools and if there's a market for this. Your view w...

Hi, Over the last few years I have become very disapointed with the range and quality of tools and workshop equipment being sold at shows and events. Its got to a point where friends and family have suggested offering an alternative at shows and supplying high quality instead of the norm. I would ju...

Thanks all, I've purchased a valve compressor,paste and stick thing. Managed to carefully remove 3 valves, bagged up and labeled them in order so I dont mix. Will be grinding soon just taking it steady at first. ESM have dispatched new thermostat today. Will certainly flush rad before putting back, ...

Will replace this as well, Thanks again welung666

Fantastic, I'm going to crack on with that then, Cheers...

Oh, is there anything else I should be doing while its off

With the fear of sounding stupid, removing the valves, does that mess up the timing ?

Why does that not fill me with confidence

Thanks Welung666, I will have a look at that, mean while showing how green I am how do you grind the valves ? is this something I can do at home ?

After a trip with steam pouring out of the radiator over flow,and no water I decided to check out the symptoms on this site and found the proberbility is the head gasket on its way out. Have stripped the head today,but thought the gasket looked ok. Very coked up inside with alot of what looks like w...

Many Thanks, I have spoken to other members at our local meet last nite and got some good advise. I will be doing the sills first ,then looking at the door hinge post. Will definatly be measuring twice and cutting once. Still be interested in which order of replacing the inner and outer sills have p...

Finally got round to removing the passanger side front wing last Sunday,Only to find a rust hole I could park another Morris in. I have had a close look and have purchased Inner & Outer sills, Flitch repair panel and hinge post replacement panel. I have never done this before, yet feel confident...

Thank you all for your comments

As a general querry I didnt realise I would get so much feedback,so apologises for posting in the wrong area. Have now ordered new Regulator and Dynamo. Will keep you posted.

Thanks for that, I will check 2morrow when its light. Since the problem started have disconected battery until I fix it.

:D :D Hooray for RogerRust :D :D Roger's been around, New regulator and Dynamo on order ASAP. Many Thanks for your help Roger. It would appear there's no charge to the battery from the Dynamo and with further inspection the right side coil on the regulator, the contact sticks.Would be intrested to k...
