Morris Minor Owners Club

All sorted now, thanks. An on-line purchase was successful in finding the parts I was looking for. Thanks also to Bryan Gostling for his advice.

Thank you Chief and Stephen. The MMOC parts supply in Norfolk is just a little too far for me to travel but I'll let you know how I get on with the above links. Regards, David.

1960 - doh!

Still looking! Can anyone help please? I am looking for a pair of glass panes to fit the doors on my 1860 convertible. The ones currently on the car have been badly scratched by a previous owner wearing a diamond ring!!! As good a condition as possible please. Thank you.

I fitted a motorcycle flasher unit in the end and everything works fine. Recommend Biker Parts Direct if anyone is considering this option. Thanks for your advice.

Thanks and yes that makes complete sense, I used a standard Morris flasher unit. Will try and source a motorcycle part. Will let you know how I get on.

My 1960 car has, as standard, trafficators which are not that visible to other drivers. With this in mind I have fitted additional, motorcycle indicators below the bumpers. I wished to keep the trafficator system intact so the new circuitry is completely separate. I have fitted a new switch mounted ...

That's really helpful, thank you. The J edition has a series of numbers at the foot of the index page as you say: 29/66 (319550 6/61 45,950. It may well be that this was printed in June 1961 then.

Thanks Bill, By the look of things I need to do the following:
Check that the dynamo is actually charging;
Fit the new wiring loom, which I have already purchased as a spring project;
Check the regulator in accordance with your video clip.
Really appreciate everyone's help on this matter.

Thanks for your interest All and, yes, the car is fitted with a dynamo. Will check output next time I'm in the garage!

Hello Bill, Thanks for your swift reply. It's the red ignition light. Can't see that there is a charging problem. The car always starts first time and teh battery has been on the car for more than six months.

Any suggestions, please, as to why my ignition light does not go out as the engine fires up? The light actually increases in brightness with the engine revs. The car has not been run for a few weeks and I can't remember this being the case before. New distributor, coil, HT leads and battery fitted. ...

I have a 1961 Morris Convertible (original factory car) which is currently on positive earth. I would like to convert it to negative earth to fit an alternator and negative earth fuel pump. However, the car has working semaphore indicators / trafficators and I'm concerned whether, firstly, these uni...
