Morris Minor Owners Club

On a serious note though, don't you have any Mini specialists in your area?
I seem to recall one in the Blacpool or Preston area, they would know what they were doing as they are used to loads of welding on the Mini.

Tony

Don't you mean the better side of the pennines

Tony

Tescos are always selling there all in ones cheap, I usually buy one as its cheaper than the cost of ink. When it runs out i put it on freecycle and buy another one.

Tony

You can't really tell from the pictures but the outers slope inwards slightly which gives it that bit more strength so there is no wobble at all.

Tony

I'm a fully qualified welder so joints are good and I've used it for the past 10 years with no problem so far.

Tony

Most people I know that fitted them to Minis went back to old type dizzys in the end as there was no real advantage with leccy ones.

Tony

Theres about 2ft 6in clearance.

Tony

I used to use it on the Minis but I've modified it a bit to fit, its made from a couple of old builders trestles and a coulpe of small scaffold poles.

Tony

Makes it a lot easier to work on the front rests on the chassis and the rear is bolted where the rear springhanger fits. <br> http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1248033185_9967 <br><br> http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1248033260_9967 <br><br> http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1248033355_9967 <br...

Those are the ones, so if I stick to 3 each side i should be ok. Thank you

Tony

How many shackles should the 7 leaf springs have on? Mine has 2 on 1 and 3 on the other.

Tony

Don't worry bmc I'm looking into every possible way so I won't forget the punto.

Tony

Thanks again for all the replies, I know someone with an MGF but its not a wreck, yet.

I'll also look into the Corsa system like you said twincamman at last they have come in for something useful.

Tony

Thanks for the replies, I'm looking more down the DIY / donor car system.

Thanks bmc I'll look into that sounds like a possibility as I still have plenty of contacts on the Mini scene.

Tony

Its probably been asked before but has anyone fitted or looked into fitting power steering on a Mog.

The reason being my wife wants a Moggy for herself but has problems with her arms so really needs power steering.

Thanks for any feedback

Tony

Not the same car then, that one had'nt been on the road since 2002 the engine and box were brilliant but the body was crap

Tony

Andy you've got a PM

Hi Dryad, thanks for the welcome, did you buy yours off a chap in Ossett West Yorks? Cos when I bought mine he had another for sale at the same time which sold for that money

Tony

Oh so that narrows it down a bit more then

Budget not a problem just wondered for quality and fit

Tony

Really how bad was yours? Engines out and wings are off<br> http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1246741798_9967 <br><br> http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1246741875_9967 <br> The floor panels are so badly welded I can prise the apart with a screwdriver with no effort at all Tony

Hi all I've narrowed it down to 3 companies for the wood quite a variation in price

Woodies is the most expensive then traveller timbers in Hull and lastly ALT Timber fabrications in Wales, does anyone have a preference as to quality and fit.
