Morris Minor Owners Club

Great stuff - thank you both. I'll try the Mannol Windscreen sealant - will let you know how I get on.

In anything more than drizzle, the corners of the windscreens on my '52 leak considerably. The seal is cracked, but not dire. Given the horrendous job replacing the seal would be, and the poor quality of replacements, I'm going to try and seal it. Does anyone here have any recommended product which ...

...and I've now been out for a drive, and driven over my local speedbumps quite aggressively, all with no clunking. Great success!

Ideally, you'd want a garage for your car, but that's not possible for all of us. There are lots of outdoor car covers on the market, and I just thought it worth noting that any 'tailored' car cover that's designed for a classic VW Beetle will also fit a Morris Minor (saloon or convertible) like a g...

Well... job done. I've cut the exhaust, put the link in, pulled back the rear section, rotated it slightly, and there's a lot more clearance. (Pictures randomly rotated by the forum software, despite me trying to rotate them back myself!) 20220313_101806.jpg 20220313_103450.jpg 20220313_103525.jpg D...

I've had good results using Shiply: https://www.shiply.com/rf/FAWWT5S9WH/

Cheers - I can confirm that all hangars are in place. If I go down the sleeve and rotate route (plus I think it needs to be extended a bit so that the top of the 'arch' is aligned with the axle), I guess I'd need one of these? https://www.morrisminorspares.com/engine-c14/exhaust-fittings-c68/exhaust...

OK - here are some photos. Spring hangers look fine. Clearance between exhaust and crossmember is fine. It's definitely the rear shock absorber body and rear axle that's hitting the exhaust - you can see the tell-tales. (Apologies - the pictures appear to have been rotated when they've uploaded) 202...

That is a good point. All looks to be in good order on that front though, and the axle bump stops aren't hitting the bodywork, so it looks to be moving in the 'normal' range. I will take a good look this weekend however before I go spending any money.

It's more that it gets hit every time the rear nearside spring compresses. Axle and/or shock absorber hits exhaust. Exhaust hits crossmember. Clunky-clang! And I can't seem to get any more clearance over the axle, as there's nothing that can be adjusted, unless I were to cut the exhaust behind the s...

Engine mounts and steady bar are all in good condition. I think it's just that the exhaust is a poor quality pattern part that doesn't fit properly. Are the exhausts that you can pick up on eBay for £45 including postage any good (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143432987260 - the car is fitted with a 10...

My car has been fitted with what looks like a one piece exhaust, which appears to have been badly fitted, as it clunks whenever I go over a speed bump. Clearance between the exhaust and centre crossmember is about half an inch, and I can see tell-tale marks where it hits. It also appears to hit the ...

As a request, would it be possible to change the settings on the new board so that users receive an email telling them that they've received a PM? I see that this is something that can be set in someone's control panel, but is turned off by default. I'm currently trying to get in touch with two use...

I'd like to get some overmats to protect the carpet on my MM tourer, and I was wondering what you'd all recommend? I see that there are two types - those from 50-53, and from 54 onwards, and I was wondering what the difference was? I used to have some coir 'coco-mats' for my old VW Beetle, and was w...

Good question. I was looking at these lights, which would probably do the job (well, just one of them). You can get a chrome bezel for them too... https://www.carbuilder.com/uk/28mm-led-red-lens-red-light-pair Remove existing reflector, drill suitable hole, and fit the above. That's all there is to ...

Thanks all. If an admin is reading this, I'd be grateful if they could contact the poster. I've also replied to another thread elsewhere on the forum from someone who owned the car in the 1970's, who also wanted to contact the current owner, and he's not read his PM's either. Very much looking forwa...

Have tried PM'ing you trimpex, but it's sitting in my outbox, so I don't know if you've got it. If you still have the paperwork, I'd love it, as I now own the car!

Holy thread revival..... but I've just bought this.
