Vintage Minor Register

Well, I haven't been on here in quite a while... Sorry, I haven't done a lot on RT as other projects have gotten in the way mainly getting my land rover ready for the road, along with school work and searching for an apprenticeship. Not a huge amount has happened with RT, However, we've had the dyna...

Ok, none like the first one, its just we have a few differnet ones sitting in a box, I'll have to put them up for sale sometime.

We may have a speedo, got a photo of what the correct one should be?
Andrew

I agree, excellent. Currently sitting on my bedside table along with RT's fuel gauge and drivers door handle... I certainlt like the size better.
Many thanks Ian!!!

Ahhh, brilliant, I didn't even think of looking there, I assumed they'd be something fairly unique to the morris and would be unobtainable.
Thanks
Andrew

Out of interest, are the wings easy to pick up in decent condition, ours aren't great.
Thanks
Andrew

First outing for RT today. A good local meet, with 5 minors and Clive Hall's MG B as his Minor had an electrical problem. Two others who were hoping to attend weren't able to be present. Nigel Tuckers 32 sports coupe was also present so there was a lot of comparing of little details between the two....

Hi
Does anyone on here own a LWB minor/family eight? If so, what are you wipers, vacuum or electric.
Thanks
Andrew

Failed its first MOT this morning, dodgey half shaft... I'm replacing it this afternoon and it will be retested, then up to the DVLA office to get it taxed!!!

Of course it... Why didn't I think of that

Just from what I've learned from working with other "stuff"
Is there any kind of breather on these engines to allow for any slight blow by on the rings. If so check that thats not blocked, as the crank case will pressurise and it will force oil up the bores.

Andrew, Still haven't found the inspection plate, although I know I have one somewhere. Since time is short for your MOT you had better make something up. I have just had a look at mine which is an MG one in solid alloy and the vents - below and above the fixing bolt - are on the right hand side. R...

Andrew, The clutch inspection plate is shaped in a particular way with vents in it. Put it on the wrong way and oil gets sucked into the clutch housing. You are better off fitting the proper thing than making one. I will have a look to see if I have one somewhere - unless there's someone out there ...

Right, the timing adjustment made a huge difference, It now goes well. Only a couple of jobs left, make and fit a clutch inspection plate, and the floor board to go over it and find a new head lamp glass I also need to have another look at the wiring, I think there is a loose connection on one of th...
