Morris Minor Owners Club

Just joining this thread as I think my question fits logically here... After sitting for too long my brakes needed some work. Sure enough, inspection revealed at least 3 of the wheel cylinders sticking/stuck so I've overhauled, red rubber greased and bled the system. If continually pumped the pedal ...

Wow Phil. Looks the business. Have you a photo of the completed assembly?

I have just posted a new thread asking for information about Ace Rimbellishers and their codes. If anyone reading this has any info to add, particularly if it relates to fitment of Rimbellishers to Minor rims (Million or otherwise), please check it out.

What is the difference with the uprigh...

Thanks Philthehill, It sounds like you are suggesting swapping the MG bits to Marina block is still the best/sensible option. I've never swapped cams before - is cam and followers swap straightforward? Will it match my Marina oil pump? From a chat with Metro owners, they suggested the engine numbers...

Years ago I did a 1275 Marina conversion in my van. At that stage I also had a FWD Hornet and picked up a MG Metro motor with a mind to converting it.
