I have a set of new gauges to fit to my Morris Traveller so found this topic interesting however with the camera jumping around so much often not actually on the topic or car part in discussion so I baled out , too hard watch.
Big tip picked I up from a forum from Carrera4Boy'sDad I discovered these Mercedes W126 springs have a longer "leg" which allows them to be fitted: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12466618...teid=0&campid=&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1 The springs are not quite as substantial as the OEM part, but work just as well. After all, they are only there to keep the shoes square. I splayed the hook out a little more with pliers and this time I used a mirror to look round the back of the shoe retaining plate to absolutely ensure the hooks were properly through the hole and hooked in place. Last edited: 10 Jan 2024 £2.50 each instead of £23 . I have fitted these and so far so good
Great Vid John, quick question, when reinstalling the carburetor, is there a gasket that goes between the bottom and the manifold? if so is that gasket part of the repair kit?, thanks in advance
Bonjour, Merci pour votre partage. Les semelles sont différentes de l'origine ? Pouvez-vous m'indiquer comment vous avez connecté la butée et le cache poussière svp ? Est-ce que les ressorts sont plus grands ? Où avez-vous acheté le kit ? Merci pour votre attention. Cordialement
Nice job john. Bet you were excited. Main voyage. First one. Seemed she pulled well john. How fast about were you going? Cant see your Talbot there now john. Did yiu finish it? Bit more adjusting and good to go again..
Thanks John. Nice tip! Have some brake work planned on mine - also called Molly! This looks to be a very useful technique. Going to check your front cylinder video just now.
Thank you for adding this video. After trying the main peg in the fuse box with the horn going off and having no luck I tried your tip and it worked a treat, the catch opened, brilliant 😊
Thanks, haven’t thought further than a drive round the block for now. I think the front brake cylinders on the front are part seized, already replaced the master.next Job 😁. Must admit Molly is a real pleasure to work on. Basic and simple. How I like it.
Hi john, very interested in following your Morris rebuild just wondering are you cars out all year around with cover on, just got a MM lately, trying to find best cover for the Irish weather.
I just used a slide hammer with a hook on the end, few blows and off it came, there no need to remove the suspension strut just the four bolts to the hub then spin the strut around to give yourself access to the 19mm nut on the end of the anti roll bar.
Also inspect the area where the rear spring hangers are mounted and where the rear wings are bolted on. If you can roll the car on its side on some bags of peat/compost, your life will be easier.
Hi thanks for the comment. Welcome aboard. My lot originate from Birkenhead/ Liverpool now in Salisbury, don’t think we have any relations in Sheffield but you never know.
Hi John. Just wondering if you had any luck with that repair? I think I have the same problem, but on a 2.5TD express. Coolant pouring out from one stud hole after removal.
The PSY registration is a DVLA age-related re-registration series issued around the mid nineties, meaning its original reg was transferred off it or it was imported around then. These marks are not geographical and are sourced from unissued series from the old local registration offices. Such numbers are not normally transferrable for obvious reasons although some do slip through.
My first car...and the next car and my next car were "moggies"....sure, if you'd got a quid for every time you've heard that that then....you'd probably have about 7 quid....what makes it unusual is that I only started driving in 1997.... they're great to drive and reliable but very thirsty.....good on you mate. Will be interested to see how you get on with it/her......
