Morris Minor Owners Club

Many thanks for all your comments, So is the general consensus that the voltage reg is where I should connect the heater live green wire to or would it be better that I extend the live green heater wire and feed it directly to the fuse box and earth the black wire to the car bodywork?
Many thanks

John , i should have said its the late square one.

Many thanks for all your help, have managed to dig out an old speedo which was removed from a scrap car which still has all the wires attached. Cannot see on this speedo a yellow and green lead attached to the voltage regulator? It looks like there are 3 green wire connections on it, one has two gre...

Thats kind of you to reply with the wiring diagram thankyou, will have a look when i am at dads and will try and see what he has done, failing that i plan just to take a live straight to the fuse box and negative off the chassis. Am i right in thinking the heater has only two wires coning from it, a...

Good evening, I am in the process of restoring a 1971 morris minor van, l had a new wiring loom fitted a couple of years ago by a chap, but the heater was never fitted into the wiring loom as he said there were no spare places on the loom to attach it? My spare time is very limited as I have a very ...

Many thanks to both of you for your replies. Very grateful. Ok should have both taps, but if not i can always get the one I havent and will try both to see which one fits. Thankyou for your help.

Hi all, does anybody know please the thread size/ type of the bolt that goes into hole near the A pillar to hold the parcel shelf in place. The internal thread near the A pillar on both sides needs a good clean out with a tap and I want to make sure its the right one. Is it the same size thread as t...

I am also aware I need to replace the chrome finishers each side of the speedo from the narrow van/ pickup ones to the larger traveller/ saloon ones when I fit the glove box lids.
Many thanks

Afternoon all, I have a van which I am rebuilding and I appreciate they never had glove box lids, but I wish to out some on so that I can conceal a cd radio that I plan to install at a later stage. I have some original screws/bolts that held a glove box on a saloon or traveller. I think its 2 per si...

Many thanks for both of your help. Thats helped answer my question. Thankyou to you both.

Hi all, The 4 bolts that hold the headlamp bowl to the front wing, does anybody know what the thread they are please? I need to re-tap the threads on the nuts that located behind the front wing as they have corroded.
Many thanks for any help.
Richard

Many thanks for your rely to my post, great well that clarifies that all for me so thankyou, much appreciated. The van is a K reg 1971.

Can anyone tell me please if van and pickups have different glove box lids to that of a traveller , saloon or convertible? The other day i fitted the passenger glove box lid to the van and there is a lovely gap at the bottom of the lid that you can see into the glove box. One option maybe to remove ...

I have just looked at your picture again and see you have a pull start solenoid so am guessing you have an earlier vehicle, would the later vans have differed in terms of the vin plate location? Where also would the black badge go that relates to the seatbelt compliance?
Thanks again
Richard

Ah many thanks, for the reply, I would have suggested that but I already have a vin plate attached to the passenger door which says Austin Morris with the vin number, weight rating etc etc, would it also have had a vin plate under the bonnet aswell? The other aluminium badge what does that relate to...

Hi all, i hope the picture downloads ok and is available to be seen, in the middle of rebuilding a morris minor van, can anyone tell me please what badges would have been positioned here? I have 4 screw holes so am guessing they relate to two badges or aluminium plaques, I am thinking one will be re...

Many thanks to you ALL for your input, am very grateful for all of your comments. Ok so it sounds like the easiest option is going to be to redrill the three holes with a 6.60 drill bit, and re-tap holes with a 5/16 unc tap ( 1st and finishing tap) and job done. Have looked on ebay and i can get all...
