Morris Minor Owners Club

Thanks Guys for the advice, that's good to know. It makes sense that the short rubber hose is there to help absorb vibration and protect the copper pipe. At the moment, I don't think I want to risk going with copper all the way. My skills probably aren't up to making the coils properly yet, and I'd ...

Hi all, Our 1958 Moggy has a VDO mechanical oil pressure gauge. There is a short flexible hose joining the copper pipe from the gauge to the fitting on the engine block. When we bought Doris, that hose was held on with wire wrapped around it. About a year ago I accidentally caught it and it pulled o...

Hi everyone, I’ve spent the last 30 years just driving cars, but I’ve never done any maintenance or worked on them, so all of this is completely new to me. I really appreciate all the advice and guidance you’ve shared about the Morris Minor clutch springs. I’m mainly trying to keep costs down it add...

We picked up our 1958 Morris Minor last year after dreaming about one for a long time. She’s called Doris, and it’s mostly my wife who drives her — and she absolutely loves it. Coming from modern cars and with no mechanical background, it’s been a bit of a learning curve, but great fun all the same....

Hi all, I am on the tail end on of finishing a steel cladded shed for our Doris. The shed is just big enough to drive in and open the car door and get out. The roof of the shed as a non-drip cladding but not insulated and the wall are steel box cladding. Would be hoping to keep up regular engine run...

Hi QuantumNomad, a rebuild kit seem to be the way to go but its just a minefield when you start looking. If me could only type in the year/reg/model to find it. its getting that right match that doesn't cost a arm & leg plus delivery & Import charges and when you don't know the right match i...
