Morris Minor Owners Club

He guys!

Just stumbled upon a manual like no other! It has everything from the early low lights to the latest saloon!

data on every aspect, engines, gearboxes TORQUE SETTINGS for everything!!!

Its over 400 pages long and in a PDF

If anyone could tell me how to host this file then you can all have a copy! this realy is a useful thing to have!!

Literaly this thing tells you everything! fuel capacity, coolant capacity with and without heater, exploded diagrams, how to do jobs on your car, step by steps, production information!!! the list is endless!!!

You'll need to upload it to a server and link to it from here. I assume (obviously) that it's out of copyright...
If it's a problem, mail it to me and I'll host it - biggingerATbiggingerDOTcom

Yep , I'd like it

I have recently poked a big 30mb 440 page manual here...

E-mail it to me johnATekmmdotcodotuk

(replace the AT with @ and the dots with . ) and I will host it on the Eask Kent Morris Minor website for all to download as it sounds a very useful resource.

Thats a good source, easier to search through than the orignal file. Nice. Also means I can lend it out without worrying if im going to get it back.

Is it the BL Manual? The one in Spag's link is.

(I mean are we talking about the same namual or are there two different ones, BL and another?)

Well done Orkney - that's the edition (14th) I have in print. Now I can keep it clean!

Thanks for the resource guys!
I've downloaded spag's copy and will probably print it at work when its quiet.

Its easier to read something in a folder than on the screen for some reason - that and I can't take my PC outside.

With my anorak head on I can see its very interesting just to read through.

I'll try at some stage to knock that into a basic navigable website, should be easy enough to do as I HATE PDF's and also appreciate what its like not being on broadband.

Also note to Spag if theres anything you want to mirror off your site feel free to let me know - contemplating a minor type domain ATM just like pinching your pdf for personal reference as in know where to find stuff rather than have to trawl through mountains of stuff to find whats needed at a moments notice.

Yep thats the one!!

that's the edition (14th)

Anyone know what the latest edition is/was?

I think the 14th was the latest. I purchased a new copy in 2001 and it was the 14th edition (dated 1970). I can't imagine that there's been a revision since then.

I wondered what was going on in illustration AA17 until I read the caption!
Not many transverse engined Minors made!

Not many transverse engined Minors made!

Only ever seen one.

Ah, the good old days!!!!!!

Page 389, Bodywork.

" Cool the panel with WET ASBESTOS"

Nice, anyone for cancer?

Derek.

Should imagine, if it's wet, the spores are not airborne.

Still wouldnt like to take the chance! When this went to print asbestos was a "New Miricle Material" Probably the M.D.F. of the modern day. Deadly, Stuff has been banned in the US and wont be long before a carpet ban is rolled out over here.

That page made me laugh, handful of wet asbestos, finger hole through the middle then apply the toasting !!!

Have you found the bit on how to clean the upholstery with anthrax ?
