Searching a detailed list of toolkit

Post by wimor »

Hi,

My Morris Minor MM side-valve 1952 LHR is not complete.
I’m missing a toolkit. Jack, grease gun etc.
I found a picture of a tool roll in the book -Morris Minor super profile-, but I cannot found the dimensions of the tools.
For the moment I am searching for a detailed list of the toolkit, after which I can search the original tools.
Please can you help me?

Kind regards,
Willem

Willem,
I've dug this list out of the "Service Parts List". The tool kit should contain:

Jack
Grease gun
Wheelbrace & hub cap lever
Tyre pump
Box spanner 1/4" x 5/16" BSF
Box spanner 3/8" x 7/16" BSF
Box spanner 1/2" x 9/16" BSF
Double end spanner 2BA x 1/4" BSF
Double end spanner 3/8" x 7/16" BSF
Tommy bar
Screwdriver
Tyre lever x 2
Tyre valve spanner
Screwdriver & guage 0.010" to 0.012"
Screwdriver & guage 0.014" to 0.016"
Feeler guage 0.017"
Tool bag

This tool kit is for cars up to #161695. After that, some spanners/brace changed to Whitworth.
I've no idea what brand the spanners were labelled as, but I seem to recall "Morris" branded types around. Whether they're Morris Minor or not, I don't know. There are part numbers against the tools, but these don't apply any longer from the Morris Minor centres.

Hope this is detailed enough, it took me ages to type it out. :D

Tyre lever x 2
Really, that would not just be for an Assie spec Minor would it.
Cheers

Kevin,
This list is from the English parts manual. The factory part numbers would have been the same worldwide, much as they are today (without all the different market changes).
I tried ordering parts years ago as per the parts manual, this is when I found out all the "modern" parts suppliers use their own number system.
Incidentally, Land Rover still carry some of the original Morris Minor parts. Checking the part number supercessions, I've managed to track down & purchase original parts. Unfortunately, no hard to get stuff.
