Morris Minor Owners Club

Not so easy had to drop car on to 2” timbers to get the room and take out 2 windows to fit fans for extraction of fumes. But overall I’m very happy and bought the more expensive hard wearing paint so should be good for lot more years.
Took 2 weeks stripping and prepping.
Thanks.

Something I found strange regards to gear changing in earlier stick version of bmw / Mercedes automatics
You push lever forward to go back and pull back to select forward. Strange way they done them. They have learnt now in the ones with lever at the steering column forward for forward etc.

Got paint on 2 k old English White. Plenty good primer and good top coats inside and out , to be mopped yet as bit of dust and had to remove 3 wasps and jet a drop of high paint in so I can polish back. Happy enough though inside and out ,lot of tidying up to do and get rest of exterior back on. New...

It’s pre dick text

Still got gear box.

Butting in /. would 155/65 R14 T (75 fit the 14” rims that’s on the traveller. 2 required. Not sure the exact size on them et minute are away to be blasted. Just know that they are new or good as but cracked at bottom with sitting .

Good we bit of information about grummits unfortunately too late I bought from minor supplier.

We have no greattits in our area.

That would do I left out the blue. I like the wrens and robins too.

Yes we can feed them where I live but unfortunately this summer they definitely don’t need water left out. Love to see them coming and stealing the dog food and dogs just sit and watch them. Then they bath in there big water bowl. Love the oops I typed a naughty word and wrens. We have too many spar...

Anyone know what smaller steering wheel I could fit to my traveller 1969 1098 cc with Lucas horn. It’s not for show it’s so I can get in out easier, don’t want anything too expensive if possible as will be keeping original. ( to go back on if ever parting so it’s original) Any pointers as to what wo...

Cheers that’s what I will do thanks.

Should have thought of that myself I’m a dumbo.

Walking around checking car is ready to paint discovered the son in law had driven my oversize top door pin in from bottom fair but he had just barely caught the top ring of hinge , you will know it’s almost impossible to drive pin up once door is fitted. Bolts and all were all good and 1/2 the head...

Hi guys not lazy ( got injections in knees so for 3 days can’t do much ) but I see while prepping for respray a window washer jet has been chipped I am not too lazy to look but can’t bend or stand very well on a we walking aid. But if if thought it was 4 mm could order 2 new ones in the meanwhile I ...

Well it has to be painted as been painted before,plenty of paint on it just too much here and there and with new front window rubbers and different work never could never touch it up to look right , so it’s been decided to go for the original or as near as possible and respray inside & out old E...

Agree as looking at photo if the door was up would the bottom be correct with the sill / also what about other side is it as far off hard to tell in photos.

Mine is a 69 model but perhaps yours is different but there’s movement in my hinges all around. If yours has backing plate inside door pillar and door frame there are a pain to get bolts in and some people spot weld the plates into place so that leaves really no adjustment. When I take my bolts from...
