Morris Minor Owners Club

Any help would be gratefuly receved.

Hi,

You have an issue there that is not alien to many of us...

My advice would be to Google 'Morris Minor Parts' and check out the responses you get. I'd also look to replace the whole section and not plate it with that sized hole, it's what I'm doing to one of my Travellers.

Best of luck....

bull motif sell chassis legs

I think all the suppliers sell chassis legs

Repair or replace depends entirely on how good at welding and fabricating you are. All the usual on line suppliers sell chassis legs but you can make repair sections yourself depending on how far the rot extends. As with most cruicial repairs though I would get an expert to recommend a course of action unless of course you are proficient yourself.

thank you for all your fast responces i have a welder and my job is to work on large construstion plant so i have had welding experiance (altho not on small tin) i will get 2 chassis legs and weld them both on at the same time i weld the floor up

Probably need to remove the engine for good access - possibly worthwhile rolling the car on it's side too! Do one side at a time - so you can compare dimensions from the other side!
