Guys, need help on getting hold of a Morris Minor chassis. An old banger has been acquired for restoration and the choice on the finished product all depends if i get hold of original parts.

Hey arun, welcome back (or should you say that to me??!!

)

Sorry for my sparse appearances, but I'm not the same anymore -its called corporate life I guess! :(

Anyways, for your query- I seriously doubt the availability of a MM chassis! In fact if I'm not mistaken the MM didnt come with a separate frame unlike the Herald.

Also what exactly is wrong with your car's chassis?? Is it gone too bad to fix? How about some pics. here, so some experts could guide you in the resto?

Also is the old banger you got the blue "APU" one from W.Marredpally, Sec'bad?? I was told it was owned by a lawyer, an old lady and it was for sale. 'last I saw it a few weeks ago, twas parked at the same spot by the roadside, where I've been seeing it since years...alongwith a black Standard Super 10 owned by another family in the same lane.

Posting the below pics of some parts for sale>>>
It looks like Herculean task to upload the pics & will explain the details of the stuff in couple of days,..till then Tbhpians who are interested in the particular parts ( found below) can come out with their views..
Hillman meters set with the panel

Wolsely Meters with complete Lucas switches( w/o knobs) dunno the model of wolsely

The Smiths clock missing in this set is there at some other pic,is yet to follow

Oil pressure gauge..a close up

Steering wheel 16" diameter, IVORY color, internal bore is taper fitment type with 3mm key way, taper bore size majo dia 22mm - min dia 19mm.

FIAT millicento Steering wheel ( as is where... knurling good, it is tough)

Believe

it...in this condition, without even screwing the steering column nut, I fitted in my FIAT & drove it nearly20 kms( City riding..)

Steering wheel ( unknown - steering wheel dia just 12")

Fitment type taper bore- size-unknown!!

though there are surface cracks & peeling, on whole seems rigid

powertwin · 23rd November 2010, 14:21

Can explain...if some one points out

12 Volt Lucas- made in England relay- used but good-( as told to me

)

SU -12V Fuel pump assy

Think I have some more pics of this pump..will post, looks clean & Full (??)

Autolite 6V( USA) cut outer (new)...for Jeep lovers

powertwin · 23rd November 2010, 14:36

OHV Amby , Smiths Meter...(NOT Speedo)

PS: one can see that smiths clock of wolsely, behind this Big meters

A good looking(??) LUCAS Distributor,really hard to find stuff these days

Some Jeep part (tiny-electrical ), couldn't recollect ( will confirm later)

Some Heplex rings,but mostly compression rings only, various sizes..

That Smiths Clock & the starter button( think,that of Fiat..)

powertwin · 23rd November 2010, 14:51

Plenty of rear end " metal clad Oilseals of mostly American cars,which can't be used now, since naturally the rubber would have lost its sealing properties
any way, any body interested in "Made in England " OR "Made in USA", can have look at it

LUCAS- made in England switches ( think belongs to some light commercial vehicles..

Note few Contact breakers( points) of Benz cars...may be of 210 SE, etc..

Morris minor post lock, door outer embellish & stuff

Except the post lock, all others are brass, so guess they are fabricated ones.

powertwin · 23rd November 2010, 15:03

some interesting & bit confusing, whether to pick or not>>>>Yes plenty of Lucas points ( should identify&Pick )
* A 8" trafficator assy, with rear body of Hillman minx3 ,I guess & a brand new Lucas lens of 8" trafficator.
** Distributor caps 6 cyl- German ( guess its of Benz) - 2 nos
*** distributor caps LUCAS- 4 cyl ( dunno the type & model, but the one has flat side periphery for closing the inside condenser.
**** some distributor rotors also

powertwin · 23rd November 2010, 15:12

Plz note: Second pic from this post has a " Magnet-o-marelli" Fiat 1100 Distributor cup & rotor is not for sale it seems ( he needs it for his car)that was messed up while clicking pics.
@ All senior friends: Why don't you people, comment about the parts like lenses, distributor caps etc., ...so that it will be like guiding the budding enthusiasts in identifying certain " IF & BUT" parts

The way to come out mate

Stanher>>>>" Authority for Standard Motors" parts at least

Even I thought so....the early STD 20, which came with Front inverted elliptical single bunch laminated springs...

samsag12 · 27th November 2010, 17:54

Shyam bhai i do remember the Fiat one but this doesn't seems to fit in any Premier badged car. I think its of some old model or of some other car. Are you sure that they are Fiat ones.
