It’s looking good Tim your Morris journey has been great to watch. Great Video.

My early cars had drums, first car drums all round, never seen a design that doesn’t have the little spring loaded pin/clips to retain the shoes back against the backplate, is that how they are on a minor..? 🤔

Nice job. Thanks for sharing.👍

Old trick was to paint the end of the adjuster white, so you could see it when you turned the drum. All the best with your project 👍

I guess there is no disc brake conversion in the works for project Morris Minor.

Hi Tim the new front chassis legs where they plug welded about every 2cm. I am about to start this on my Morris

Nice colour

Useful video. Got to have a go at doing my 1970 Traveller's (again, after several years) as the bush in the RHS of the chassis leg (RHD car) has worn badly, which causes some 'snatch' of the clutch pedal at the bottom of its travel.

Great stuff

What diameter is the crank where the sprocket fits?

Very good job. Well done. I love to see it. I also restauration a Morris Minor.

Was watching this thinking you have put the light switch junction onto the wrong side of the car. Then realised its because its a LHD!! Very tidy work and its looking really good.

Great update Tim. The wonderful quality of your work so far is very evident in the footage. You are going to have an amazing car at end of the rebuild!!!!

Well done and thanks for your dedication to giving informed and interesting updates.

Beautiful, I love it thank you

Hi mate great vid! Just a quick question, I also have changed my moggy to a duplex chain, I put the cover and crankshaft pulley back on after I was finished and decided to start it up for a bit to see how it was running without the coolant etc, after about 3 mins of running I turned it off but noticed white smoke coming from the top coolant inlet, if you have any answer for this I’d love to here it!

need aaduplex for all that power lol the single chain lasted 40 years why duplex

thank you for the info I am working one of these at the moment and was trying to work out how the front end come apart the torsion bar suspension is set up a bit different to the old Mopar's i am used too

Woodland Hills is a nice area. Any more going on?

The A series engine was good, but built to a budget. Oil leaks due to poor oil seals and... no tensioner on the timing chain which would be more effective than an untensioned duplex one IMHO.

Previous owner here. How wonderful to find your channel and see the Morris’s restoration!

Thanks a lot for this video! I had a massive dark oil stain under my car one night and couldn't figure out if it was engine oil or transmission oil, turned out to be steering rack oil! Looks like I need new gaitors.

I'm losing the will to live

I use cunifer and the same die and anvil tool as the harbour freight version from Sealey. Inconsistent but doable. I reannealed the ends afterwards because I was worried about stress cracking but I’m not sure I had to. All fine 5 yrs later.

I found when bleeding the brakes if you jack the car to get the master cylinder as high as possible in relation to the bleed point it was helpful .I took my pipes to a small local garage and they flared them for me. I paid them of course .They used a hydrolic thing!!!! I also struggled trying to do it myself so kudos to you for your perseverance . The body work is looking great.

There is also A Professional Hydraulic Brake Flaring kit. That's very nice to use, but is Expensive.

These engines are very agricultural, low power and simple. All British cars of that era were terribly underpowered with very little time spent on innovation and improvement.

Thank you for this. I truly enjoy watching your engine rebuild videos. I just bought a morris and the engine is in good condition and I'm looking forward to rebuilding it one day.

We were hoping to visit on our next trip to the UK. But we only use public transport and it’s too rural to get there. Thanks for the video. Are you aware of any Morris Minor related activities? Our next trip is September Oct 24

I need some parts of morris minor car

The ice looks to be in terrible condition...

My dads favourite car was a Morris 1000 Traveller, use to borrow it when I passed my test in 1972, if I had the money I would love one now, instead of all this modern rubbish, Helped my mate with his 1937 Ford 10 got the parts from Beaulieu auto jumble

Which model welder did you use Tim ? Thanks for the very helpful video.

Excellent video but why the annoying ' music ' ??

Marvellous!

Did you have the original king pins and repaint the old ones? On the torque bars do you have little play on the spines is this ok? And also does the bottom pivot t piece unsrew from the extended torque bar?

What's a ' zerk ' fitting regarding greasing in between the bushes please ? I think you said zerk. Thanks for the video.

Very encouraging to see a British manufacturer producing such a variety of goods. Thanks a lot.

good to have helper on putting the valves back eh

Do they sell these moris. Minors. !!!

I remember back in th late 80s going to my local car carpet manufacturer and they cut and sewed it while I waited I remember how pleased I was to fit it into my Morris traveller as last part of the restoration.I sold that car in 1988 to a young lady artist and always remember her being so delighted with the car,I just knew she would treasure it. Hope you are enjoying your trip Tim.

I hope you enjoyed the beautiful scenery that Suffolk has to offer.

Hi Tim I bought a complete interior for my Morris Minor Traveller from Newton Commercial and it is brilliant. The people I dealt with were very professional and I had them send it all to me here in Australia.

What a treat! Thank you for doing this. I've had occasion to email with Amber. She's so helpful...sent a sample set for my Tourer. Haven't ordered yet but hopefully by the end of the year.

Just a thought and it may of been asked before but will you be able to run the minor over there ? Arnt exhaust emissions laws ultra strict, I see and smell the occasional old morris / Austin’s over here in uk

i have fitted all new shoes , pipes, and a new master break cylinder mmm man thats a bugger to get out cant tell you how i did it but its a bugger and i put the bolts back in right way hope i dont have to do that again , the amount of dirt in the master , and the brake pipes was terrible still she is a 1960 minor brakes might be original still its done now but on thinking driving along at say 50 and relying on my brakes as they were my advice is check the system out your life depends on it t y thomas

T Y I WILL VISIT ONE DAY WHEN MY 1960 MINORS BACK ON THE ROAD GOOD CUSTOMER PEOPLE PROMPT FRIENDLY T Y E S M

Great video, may I ask how it was so easy to jack up the front suspension to put everything back together? Did you back off the torsion bars at the back of the car?

@6:38 That's not a tie rod. It is a radius rod.
