More info

When i press the brake for 'emergency stop' the wheels do not lock, the pedal jams and doesn't go down but if i keep my foot on the pedal and continue to push hard it very slowly unjams and the wheels start to lock gradually.

Master cylinder is not overfilled, checked that!

Brakes Jam

Hey all,

I've got a problem with my brakes... 1971 2 door morris

A couple of times I've had to emergency stop and each time the brake pedal doesn't budge. They work fine when using casually but if i try and slam them on as if emergency stopping the pedal doesn't budge.

Any thoughts?

5 speed gearbox

Hey Folks...

I've got a standard 2 door morris - 1971 - 1098cc

I wanna drive to Greece in it this summer but don't like the idea of doing it with my trusty 4 speeds.

I'm also pretty keen to change the axles for stronger ones

What's the best thing to do? Any ideas?

Cheers en

Removing 2 spoke steering wheel

Any body got any ideas how to get the steering wheel off...Haynes says unscrew the small screw from the side of the steering wheel boss...

But......there is no screw!

I tried to leaver out the horn button assembly and snapped a bit of the assembly

Any body got any ideas? Much appreciated

2DOOR - Inertia Seat Belts

Hey,

I just got some inertia seatbelts and was wondering if anyone had installed them in a 2door. If so where did you put the holes?

Cheers
