Morris Minor Owners Club

Hello
I am looking for a Roll Over Frame, To tilt my car so that I can work on the under chassis.
I cannot seem to find one anywhere, I have read a discussion here about how to use one, and about a brand called Grumpy's,
I have also read a posting somewhere about someone who made one himself from scaffolding. I have not been able to find the posting again.
If someone knows where to find a Roll Over Frame, Please let me know.
Thanks

ello mate,click on my" villiage photo" weblink and u will c the jig, complete with a pic of finished underside , which was only about a 1000 times easier than lying on the floor gobbling droplets of hot weld ,steve

Thanks for the link.
I can't seem to enlarge the photos for some reason.
Did you make the frame youself?
If so, Do you have some measurements or plans you could send me?
I'd like to get started before winter on my restoration.

Ray of leamington uploaded some pictures of one I made from box section and scaffolding.

I measured the chassis to get the measurements, so I don't have measurements to give you.

I keep meaning to take some measurements but it's just one of thoise things on the never decreasing list, which includes actually spending some more time on the car!

Do a search on my postings, from about a year ago (IIRC) and you should find the thread.

ello minor,send me your adress and ill get a rough sketch of to u,steve. P.S. only the last pic is big for some reason

Unfortunately I've overwritten those pictures sometime in the last year as my website capacity is very limited

I searched the archives and found the pics.
I noticed the frame was attached to the spring hanging points.
and not to the wheel hubs. and the tubing was box tubing.
Any dimensions (2")?
Any luck on finding drawings or plans for this one?
Thanks

Hi,

yes the tube is square for part, but scaffolding bar for other bits. I never made any drawings I just measured the spring hangers and made it to fit. I seem to remember the tube was 1.5".

I chose the spring hanging points as i knew I'd need to take off the suspension for the work I needed to do. I did make it so that it could be adapted to fit on the hubs if needed though. This would involve adding some fixing points to the right point.

As I said, I keep meaning to measure it to help everyone, but my weekends seem to have a magical quality whereby they dissapear before I get anywhere near the garage!
