Morris Minor Owners Club

i have some tools but would like to know
what els i need to get
i have spanners sockets
the normal stuff
u get in a tool box
lolol

A BIG hammer But seriously, a nylon ended mallet will come in very handy. Also things like and angle grinder, ball joint splitter, axle stands and a jack.

lolol got that lot and a very big hammer
lolol

You'll need a set of screwdrivers every size they make in both metric and imperial as by the time these dear old ladies need fixing loads of people have used whatever screw happened to be handy at the time!

Oh yeh, not tools as such but things like WD40, copper grease, penetrating oil etc I found very handy to have.

yer iv got some of that im geting a Halfords 7 Drawer Cabinet
tomorrow cant wait till its here
lolol

How big is your wallet and how big is your garage. The answer is immaterial because neither will ever be quite big enough.
Vice, bench grinder, angle grinder,compressor air tools. it depends how much you want to play. Good luck

thanks sounds like im going to have to buy lots of flowers for the miss
then maybe i can spend more lolol
im hopeing to get a mig 151te next

In that case definatly get a 4.5 inch grinder with some discs and a wire brush, you'll use it loads.

Oh and did we say get a hammer. You can never have too many. I'm on about 10 and there are still some more I need

i need more hammers and a large barn lolol

I don't think you can ever have enough tools, I can always think of something I need when Christmas & birthday comes round!

Some whitworth sockets would be good though, not got these yet - apart from the one for the steering wheel.

where will i get whitworths from in southampton

No idea!

In Excess in West End occaisionally stocks odd sizes. Best bet is ebay and autojumbles

A good motto with the moggy is - "if it doesn't work, hit it. If it still doesn't work, find a bigger hammer!"

Not cheap as such but I ordered mine from Lawsons on Millbrook road East (have an account there) took a few days to come through but English make and on own socket rail.

Are they hex or star? and what sizes?

Hi
Try Williamsons

They often have sets of spanners and sockets which are secondhand
I got three of the tappet spanners for my side valve MM and a set of spanners and sockets
Give them a try
Ian

I deliberatly avoided saying the makers name to prevent any silly jokes and I still get them.

Wibbs,

They're 12 point sockets but i believe they drive on the flats not the corners.
I've got the 7 piece socket set

1/8,3/16,1/4,5/16,3/8,7/16,1/2

and the 5 piece combination spanner set

1/8,3/16,1/4,5/16,3/8

So far found this does most jobs I need to do.

thanks mate i got my tool chest its cool the wheels are ok
come on round and have a look
lolol

Mmm thanks for that, paulk I do prefer the old hex fellows
