Morris Minor Owners Club

Thank you for your replies they are much appreciated after kirsch og Googling as well as lots of elbow grease with different solvent cleaners I am now looking at vinyl fabric dye. I have a old seat cover to try on and will see how that comes out.

I could not agree more with the LED lights like you I have also retro fitted all lamps with LED from Classic Car LED apart from the headlights which a perfect for night driving, the reduction in strain on the wiring and alternator is very noticeable as well as the increased visibility a most worth w...

Morning all
Hope you can help with this I have reupholstered the front seats in Meggie and cleaned the covers which are PVC but they are quite dull and I am struggling to get any sort of shine back into them. I have tried Mothers cleaner and various polishes but to no avail.

Hi Michelle
I did not know there were different diameters but every day is a school day I would be interested in the 22cm hub caps how much would you be asking for them?
Steve

Hi do you still have a set of hub caps?

Hi
Thanks for the reply and offer of help but I have managed to get them done at a Timpsons shoe repair shop by a gent who was very interested and happy to have the challenge for something different. So far it is all holding and looking good

Good afternoon all
Can anyone suggest someone who lives in the Surrey West Sussex area who has a sewing machine that is strong enough to ho through the layers of vinly on a front seat cover as some of the stitching on my cover has snapped and us now pulling apart on the joins.
TIA

Just a quick thank you to the MMOC club and Bryan Gostlin who quickly dispatched a reconditioned fuel pump which came with a guarantee and git Meggie purring again

Morning
They are 2BA

Hi Bill
Looking at your picture and refering back to the post that Simmitc posted have you the stud cups on the wrong way round?

I think I may have a answer it has been pointed out that as the car is on axle stands at present it may that the body has twisted slightly due to the stands not being in the same position, I am hoping to get the wheels back on this weekend and will then be able to check 🤞 As for your valence Bill al...

Hi Simmitc
I have had a better look at it today as well as taking it back off and the only thing I can see is the O/S bumper stud appears to lower.
The valence was fine before the respray and the only change is the front cross member was replaced.

all hopefully a easy one that I can't see for looking at. After getting Meggie back from being resprayed I am slowly putting her back together again. I gave 2 issues 1 I think I will be able sort tomorrow after reading through the posts on here which is the bonnet alignment. The main issue I have is...

OK here goes seeing as Meggie is totally original 1971 traveller Vinyl roof Disc brakes Remote servo Remote brake reservoir 1275 engine 5 speed box Single piece back door ( soon to be changed) Rev counter Clock Voltmeter Combined temperature and oil pressure gauge 2 speed heater( Puff and gentle blo...

I will pop my head above the parapet to thank you for the answers as well as the banter

Hi all
Can anyone help with the thread side of the fixing stud on the bonnet handle ?
The nut I have fits but is loose, I have tried a 2BA and a M5 but neither of these fits, I believe it is a original handle and am assuming at the moment that it will be a imperial thread.thanks in advance

Mine is a white traveller which my wife named Meggie, it has stuck with the majority of people who know us referring to her as meggie

Thank you all for the replys she is going in for a respray next week and will not be back untill the end of January, but as soon as I have her back and have bolted all the panels back on weather conditions permitting she will be out and about and I will be keeping a close eye on this.

All rectified now after pumping a lot of grease into the ball joint the looseness has gone but still have the advisorie on the MOT.
I am more cross with myself as I did a grease up on the about 3 months prior but obviously never put enough in. Another learning curve.

Hi Bernie
Thanks for that I will get the grease gun back on there and see how she feels, he has put it on as a advisory ,which I did not see initially as I was shocked when I received a pass as for the tester he is good and classic car friendly .all in all another job to the never ending list
