Vintage Minor Register

Hi, Could anyone recommend a Spark Plug for a 1934 Morris Minor SV please. Thanks Jeff..

Champion 7. 18mm 1/2 inch reach, extra range plugs were specified for my 1934 side-valve Minor, and seem to be ok.
May not be available, but plenty of alternatives...
The Green Spark Plug Co. has information.
Helpful company and reasonable prices.

Thanks Peter, Phoned them today and they recommended KLG ML50,, so ordered 4. Thanks for your help....Jeff...Oh...If I wanted to order a new clutch plate, any ideas were I could order one from.?

You can get all of the cluch parts you need from Mike Dowley at Sports and Vintage Motors - call Mike on 01939/210458 - and please mention the VMR as Mike sponsors our Summer Rallies!

Great Stuff, Thanks again for your help....Jeff..

I tried a set of KLG ML 50 in my ,34 Minor and found them to be unsuitable, they ran much too hot under load, climbing a long hill, which caused the mixture to ignite during intake with the resultant backfiring through the carb.
Will be very interested to hear how you find them.

Thats not good news Trevor, got them now....what did you use instead then..

I'm running on Lodge CB 3 unfortunately no longer made, the KLG was supposed to be the equivelant but it's heat range is not the same. Before that I was using 14mm plugs with thread converters, ran OK but didn't look right.

The Champion 7 has a 1/2" reach. The KLG ML50 has a 3/4" reach. Maybe the reason for running hot.
The term "Extra Range" is not the same as "Extra Reach" both found on plug descriptions - confusing.
The 1/2" reach plug is fairly well recessed in the head plug hole.
Hope this helps.
The GSP Co may refund if you haven't fitted them yet.

The CB3 is also 3/4" reach and although reaching the bottom of the thread it is still recessed in the head.
3/4" reach plugs were specified for the SV Minor but not for the '34 model.
