Vintage Minor Register

Yes they are available at S&V .

what I meant was the the vertical drive pinion and the camshaft gear. Can any one help ?

Hi,

I am looking for a Timing gear and a cam gear for my OHV Minor.

A few days back I chanced upon a miniature model of a Morris Minor Tourer on ebay, an exact copy of my car, and was tempted to buy it, so much so that in my excitement I ended up winning the auction, and was repenting the amount I had to pay .

Ian,

Got the much awaited M141 today , and I must congratulate you for a superb issue,
the content ,the print quality of the pictures is awesome and the front and back covers give that very nice vintage feel.

Delighted to see the story of USJ 1795, many thanks for the space.

Now I shall wait for the shipment to arrive from the UK, and then update on the progress.

Are the gearboxes same on ohc cars and early sv minors , I believe early sv cars came with 3 speed gear boxes too. Ian Harris has just emailed me this. " I dont know if there is any difference in the gear box casting for OHC or SV. The gears etc are all the same on the parts list but the box it...

My next project for 2012 is another British car, its a 1948 Rover P3 75 6 Light saloon. The car is missing many parts and the sourcing of spares from GB has already started, the car would be delivered to me in a couple of months , I have seen the car and lot needs to be done. I am posting a picture ...

I would'nt replace the 3 speed gear box with 4 speed , so I will wait for spare gears or a complete gear box to turn up. meanwhile I think it would be a good idea to drive the minor on shorter spells to run in the gears and to replace the gear oil, which I think is not upto the mark. also as Philip ...
