Morris Minor Owners Club

Bill, and Many Minors, thank you both for your help. I am much obliged. Matt.

Thanks Bill. I’ve been trying that for the past couple of days, and whilst I’ve seen similar-ish, I’ve not hit the bullseye. It’s the size of the things that is the issue. Like you, I was thinking commercial. I’ll maybe ask at the ManchesterTransport Museum on the way to work. They are like some of ...

Morning all, I happened across a box of spares which is great, however within it is a pair of trafficator housings. They are certainly way bigger than Moggie ones - 12 inches end to end - and try as I might, I can’t identify them. There are no pressed model/manufacturer numbers etc. Any ideas what t...

Thanks Stephen. Float chamber needle fine, and main needle changed as there was a fair bit of corrosion over it - fresh one in the garage sorted that.

Will go for another run and see what happens. And save up for an SU pump.

Oh, and should have mentioned, I fitted an aftermarket Hardi pump, rather than the genuine SU. Money was the issue at the time. Stephen, are these know to have issues? I had noticed that the float chamber did empty, but then once restarted the pump filled it up again straight away, negating, in my m...

Many thanks, all three of you. At least I don’t need a new carb, but it a better clean out and a look at those needles is on the cards. Coil too - mine is looking its age so also worth a punt.

Your time is appreciated. Matt.

Hi, I have a 948 engine in my series 2. On a journey it has a tendancy, after say 4 or 5 miles to conk out, as if it is starved of fuel. Turn the engine over and it starts up again for a mile or so, then repeat. The electric pump is relatively new so I’m confident it’s not that. I’ve stripped and re...

Hi, I have just used Andrew Eggleston’s online service and I have to say it is exceptional. I had seen this thread already (following a Google search for panels, steel vs GRP) earlier this week. Anyway, I needed a fuel pump so order one on Tuesday night through the website. Www.morrisminorspareparts...

Thanks Phil. Appreciate your time. Matt

Now I haven’t had cause to look for them until a month or two back when the upper nearside trunnion on my 56 Splitty gave up. I’ve not been in a rush as I’ve got the Herald (booo...) however I note that these are still back order only. I could buy new bushes of course on the assumption it’s not just...

Many thanks Phil and Monty. Really appreciate the information.

Hello all. I’m currently working on my 56 Series 2 and came to look at the brakes, expecting 7” drums on the front. Instead, mine has 9” drums on the front and whilst, fortunately, the shoes and cylinders look to have been recently replaced and never driven, I am mindful that at some stage I may nee...

Hi,

I’m in Boothstown, Manchester, near Leigh. Fully hope for some support and advice from you guys.

Matt

Hello all, Just wanted to say hello whilst I’m shown as the newest member of the MMOC. Thanks for having me. Whilst long having been an admirer of the MM, I’m a new owner, being a Triumph, Land Rover and MG man previously. I have acquired a 1956 split screen Series II that I am restoring so will lik...
