Morris Minor Owners Club

hello ther is a lot of talk about morris suspension supplys drying up will this also ,,dare i ask include wolseley and any others using the same parts,,sorry about the W,,,word ,,,grandad

Have you tried asking on the wolseley forum as the members there will probably be more knowledgeable about the current spares situation.

HELLO MANY THANKS..GRANDAD

No problem. It looks like a good site. I'm sure they'll be able to answer all your Wolseley related questions.

hello been on wolseley site dont think its been going that long got a picture on so see how it goes,,,grandad

I hope it's a picture of your car grandad.... you know what I mean.. "wink" "wink".

Do you think you will be able to use the M word in the W forum?

What did they say about the Kingpins ? Although it's the 'same' kingpin - the hole for the steering arm is drilled through in the higher up 'bulge' in the arm. However - I suppose W kingpins could be re-drilled and used on Minors ...........

This seems to be getting really quite anti W!! Just waiting for the thread to be moved to off-topic

Well I can't see any 'anti w' comments here

It's just common sense that if you want detailed advice about a car that isn't a Morris Minor you'd be better off using an appropriate forum as you're more likely to meet other owners and get the answer you need.

No anti W comments .. I can fix that.

W is a terrible letter .. all spikey and angles, not like the lovely letter O or B ... even Q is a nicer letter than W, and dont get me started on X or its slightly less spikey cousin Y

PS: Yes I *am* a fruit loop, they only let us use the internet in here since tommy ate the crayons and made himself sick all over matron.

Some Wolseley kingpins had both holes open and can be used on Minors.

thank you as i have both the Wand the morris i would be interested to see if they fit each other????,,,grandad

Well if they have both steering arm holes open then yes they will, this is the only difference between the two.

So- how have the W (and R) boys been keeping their cars going vis a vis kingpins ? Have they been using Minor parts - and machining the extra steering arm hole ? Or do they have a tied-in supplier for their own kingpins ??
