Morris Minor Owners Club

The Traveller timber and indeed the ash chassis on some cars is not subject to MOT testing - only the metal parts! At least thats what Ive seen from MOT testing engineers discussing this issue and their reference to the testing regulations book. There is a pic of a plastic one here...... you can see...

That looks like a useful modification what is the normal pressure setting?...Also does the ball sit in the conical seat within the block and does that normally need any work whilst carrying out this mod if the seat is worn or high mileage?

Ive been working on the BRITMO cylinder head today. I numbered (using a Dremel engraver) and then removed the valves and inspected the rockers etc. A new rockershaft has been ordered as it shows typical wear. The exhaust valves are in fair condition but the seats were rather pocketed in the head. Th...

Yes Thanks.... those look reasonably ok and are very similar but not identical shape ...I wonder if they are long enough? They are probably the Saren ones I had already found which are around 1.1/2" too short but if You want to use them you could join two together I suppose? My two pairs will t...

Thanks yes I saw the A Healey ones which the supplier has given the same part number as the original Minor ones like mine pictured (ACA5375) and they probably do the same job but similarly dont look right somehow. MGBs had a terne coated steel version - you dont see that finish much any more I guess...

The brass sheet arrived today for new brake pipe axle clips. I need to mark out carefully before cutting out Brass strap (1).jpg I intend make a couple of pairs so I can use them on the traveller too. I know I can use a black plastic cable tie but it dosent look right somehow. Axle Brake pipe clamp ...

Just overhauled my S2 wiper motor... It was missing the top cover but someone on FB helped out with a period replacement.

It needed a strip down and clean up of the carbon brushes and clean and reoil/grease of the bearings and now runs and works smoothly.

The plated brass screwcups arrived and are now fitted under the rear 2BA CSK screws. They look great are correct items (Pt.7722/FWP610) and stop leakage into the cab! Nickle plated brass screwcups (4).jpg I needed two for my cars and have made a few spares that I will take to next years National mem...

I think a good flush out is all thats needed.

Thanks Firedrake The part number for my version would be AAA3678 -Tray Wood... it finished around Car No.s 419584 - 430034 depending on model. You could check the MM series parts list if you have one? On mine the side bars are just over 3/4" wide x 1/2" and 6 1/2" long (They may have ...

I'm looking for a cover plate and 3 screws like this one pictured for my late 53 Series 2 Please message me if you have a spare one. Wiper motor plate S2.jpg The original on my car is missing but I did find the link part under the drivers seat! Other than the cover mine seems to be in good order so ...

The latest item being restored on my late 53 Series 2 is the battery tray. The old one was somewhat past its best but enough of the original remained for accurate measurements. Series 2 battery tray.jpg I started by making the two hardwood strips 20261016_122048.jpg Then added the ply and stained it...

Hi Its not coming up on your post in 2006 there have been a lot of links failed since then. 'My colour coded wiring chart' This is where it was located on the link: http ://www.geocities.com/badfelafelsminor/morriswiring.jpg (GeoCities was a pioneering free web hosting service founded in November 19...

That list will be useful thanks. My 53 series 2 has a spirit blacked hardwood and ply battery support (AAA3678)...I'm just in the process of making a replacement as it has seen better days. There is 10" width between the hardwood battens so all of those will fit and mine has the earlier clamp w...

To give you an idea of value I recently bought a similar 803 cc gold seal engine off ebay but also complete with good water pump, carb, dynamo, air filter and disssie still attached and all appears in good order with nice clean oil and great valve gear. It was listed for quite a few weeks and was mi...

Thanks Bill All back together now and it holds a vacuum without leaks. I freed up the spindle on the advance mechanism this afternoon within the dizzy as well and it all looks good with minimal wear in there so it will soon be ready to refit once I complete the BRITMO 803cc engine rebuild. Completed...

The diaphragm material arrived today...its pretty much identical to the original material. So I marked out first 20261009_105151.jpg 20261009_105347.jpg Then cut out a disc with sharp scissors (just slightly larger than the alloy diameter) 20261009_113113.jpg Then drilled and tapped for a 4 BA screw...
