Morris Minor Owners Club

When fitting different engines such as the fiat TC etc its almost impossible to get the sump high enough, and if you lower the Morris you’ve really had it, so a common cure for this and probably many other engine swaps (I know yours isn’t a swap but you have the same symptoms / problems) is to remov...

I doubt wares had them made so I would guess they will be something BMC / Leyland / Austin Rover. It might be worth posting this in the Marina forum if you haven't done already. If that doesn't work then you down to looking at anything branded Morris, 1100-1300. Maxi / landcrab etc. Has the wheel be...

Thanks Bill, that would be me,
Yes we make frames to allow the safe and easy fitment of BMW Mini seats from 2001-2023 into any Minor,
Please email info@dsengineering.co.uk or DM me for more information.

Originally dum dum was used. It never really fully sets.which is ideal for the traveller wood If you Google dum dum sealant you will find it. Don't forget to add the word sealant or you will get some very different results.... From memory Dum Dum is applied up the B posts, around the arches and unde...

Don't wish to be rude but a slightly odd reply to a six year old post and your in the USA..

And there was me thinking you were two different people....

I did reply to your mail, did you not get it?

Hi Must be something in the air at the moment. I had an enquiry about a broken Hykee key a couple of weeks ago, The original Hykee company hasn't been in business for many years now but some Hykee keys are still available and can be cut to suit, failing that if there's enough key left I should be ab...

Have a look at Martrim, William Marston or boyriven,
These companies supply most of the resellers in the UK

If you want to pinstripe your Morris yourself it's relatively easy. You will need some fineline tape, this is available in single strand or multi strand, Fineline tape is thinner at it's edges than in the centre so does not give a thick unsightly edge like masking tape. Multi stand is often supplied...

If it's the same as this you remove the clips from the back, so you Will probably need it out of the van.

Classic Mini seats have a rear tubular mount similar to a Minor but the front mount attached to the large box section cross member that runs across the floor, so there would need to be some fabrication to modify the frames.
Steve

There's no tilting bases / frames for aftermarket seats that I know off, have you tried a Google search? But if you fit a modern seat from a 2 door vehicle they will normally have the function of tilt and slide in one action to allow rear seats passengers to get in and out. Now oddly enough BLATANT ...

is this the sort of thing your after? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154839910134?_skw=chrome+nut+covers&itmmeta=01KMJP71W8PS1D3K8Y2MZPBBXP&hash=item240d2d86f6:g:EucAAOSwKV1lsl4u&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA8GfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xB7txTOaloynTCw6aqEneckW7l4WyB3%2F17keETht98JBASK%2BG26pZBr%2BpFes605B6...

I always spray bolton panels off the vehicle, if you don't to you can't get any paint on the bolt flange or on the return by the door post and that will give you corrosion issues in the future,
Remember that primer is porous so will allow rust to form straight away.
Steve

Fiberglass in my opinion is only going to be a relatively short term fix. If there's any corrosion or underseal on the back of the wing it will allow corrosion to creep in over time and crack around the joint area. If you do go that route you will need to use something like a wax protection over the...

Have a look at Lucas SFB300, it's a hazard kit that is available from lots of places for sub £40. Wired correctly it will function exactly as a modern cars hazards.

If you Google it you will find lots of suppliers from eBay to classic car supplies companies that list it.

I have used cast iron welding services several times and always been happy with the service,
They are not cheap but the quality of their work is superb.
BTW I don't have any connection to them, I'm just a happy customer,

Steve

Have you tried your local motor factors?

Don't bother with euro car parts as they won't have a clue but local factors are normally very helpful.

If they want a reg number look on eBay at marinas for sale and use that reg or Google images and pick a reg from there.

Hi I've made dog cages / kennels, I've also made cell cages for the back of police vans. Film prop vans not serving police vans that is, although they still have to function. So a custom cage in the back of a Minor van shouldn't be a problem, not sure how you could make it period correct but there m...

[/quote Sorry to jump in here. I fitted a Mazda MX5 5 speed gearbox and was very pleased with the results. I am now looking to fit a Auto gearbox. I have looked at Mazda MX5 pre ECU, do you know the outer diameter of the torque converter, and details of the flexi disc mounting? I am making sure it w...
