Morris Minor Owners Club

Hello all, I'm in the final stages of finishing a friends 1958 Tourer and noticed that the glove box doors do not close right due to the miss matched receiver clips on the body side as well as the door itself. He wants me to use doors that have the chrome surround without the slotted opening at the ...

Thanks for all your input...I have yet to figure out a plan.

Hello,

Could someone tell me what they use to repair the wire ends of their harness when making repairs? Also, where can I find them?
Thank you.

Steve

Thanks for all your input. bmcecosse, I'm not sure where the loom came from as it was recently bought from a supplier back east here in the states called "MiniCity" which sells Morris parts as well as Mini bits. Everything looked great until I stumbled into this glitch. I will try the hunt...

Hey everyone, I'm finishing off a friends 1957 Tourer (his bucket list) by installing a new harness and I stumbled into my first problem. The turn signal stalk wires are not the same as the harness wires. I hope someone can help because wiring is my biggest fear. Here's the breakdown. Turn signal wi...

Nice job your doing! I wish my car was that far along. Keep up the great work cammy-p!

currently reassembling my 295 head and i need to know something quick! am i right in assuming that the new umbrella type stem seals fit over the top of the valve guides?seems to be the only way that they will fit securely You might try these they seem to work great! Scroll down the page until you g...

Spike, Is there a way that a larger quantity can be arranged through the needs of owners in the UK and US for a better price break? I'm sure owners here (N.America) might add a few on that list if you or someone here can advertise it. As it stands the price for us would be $356.00 a copy. If you can...

Wow, you've done a lot of work! That's a beautiful Moggie you've got. I can tell you'll take good care of 'im. You and your Minor have all our best wishes from America. :D Keep adding the photos periodically -- they're helpful to a newbie like me! Yes, more encouraging words from a US Moggy fan! Ni...

Electric fence power unit springs to mind! If it's ok for a fence - surely ok for a car? I like that one the best!! That will keep the [Don't swear or you will be banned - Admin] ant creeps (sorry yank speak) away! Sorry, sorry, I will button my lip. It just burns me up when someone tries to steal ...

Some old timer told me once long ago the easiest way is to take out your rotor and put it in your pocket but don't loose it before you put it back in your dizzy.

Darn it, I wish we weren't 6k miles or so apart, parts wouldn't be so costly and hard to find for the both of us!

There's some material we use here in the states called Dynamat.

I hope that helps..

I was wondering in anyone's travels have ever heard of this Company?

HRG. Engineering Co. LTD.
Chessington, Surrey
Lower Hook

I have a rocker cover for my Mk1 Cortina GT with a plate on top with this name, does anyone know history or if it still exists?
Thanks, inquiring minds want to know...

Very nice work! Encouraging for me to plug along with mine thanks for the pictures.

I'd love to see a Morris Minor Club of America. If I could have a register of all the American owners of Minors (ie Morris Minor Registry...), then I'd contact as many as I could and try to rally a movement to make such a Club. Perhaps it could be a subsidiary or a correspondent of MMOC? Hmm. I sec...

whether the £800 would cover it before i go further and completely clean off the underneath. If you have a limited budget, chances are that specialist restorer's are not the way to go. Don't get me wrong - they are generally very good, and without them much of the Minor world would crumble. It's ju...

Fun stuff....
compression:

#1 190 #2 170 #3 180 #4 190

I will get a new set of points, cap, plugs, rotor and wires in the next couple days to start fresh (no pun intended).

Thanks....I will report later!
p.s. feel free to comment while I ponder it.
