Morris Minor Owners Club

The latest item being restored on my late 53 Series 2 is the battery tray.

The old one was somewhat past its best but enough of the original remained for accurate measurements.


I started by making the two hardwood strips


Then added the ply and stained it all with spirit black


The ply is screwed to the hardwood strips with CSK screws.

I'm pleased with how it turned out and will probably make a few spares with the leftover materials.

Looks excellent - If that is the same as the MM lowlight one, I would be interested, alternatively the dimensions would be useful.

Thanks Firedrake

The part number for my version would be AAA3678 -Tray Wood... it finished around Car No.s 419584 - 430034 depending on model.

You could check the MM series parts list if you have one?

On mine the side bars are just over 3/4" wide x 1/2" and 6 1/2" long (They may have varied during production). You can measure the hole centres in your metal battery housing for the other dimensions but my holes are 10 7/8" x 5" CRS and the ply is just short of the large grommet at the rear

Many thanks, that is hugely useful.
