Love your restoration project

Thanks. Helps a lot to see how things are put together.

Nice to see how the steering/suspension assy works,collect our 1971 Traveller this afternoon. Rgds from S&T in Essex

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

As a man who is relatively new to the Morris Minor, this particular film is very informative. I like the way you've laid this out on the bench, and your description too. The fitting up process is also very clear and very helpful for a novice like me. I have viewed a number of Morris Minor films on 'U tube'. However one chap who posted about his car, would explain and talk about this same type of job, but in the end he would only show the completed job. What a disappointment. Should you have any time to comment on snags you've encountered, and how you managed to get around problems please consider posting. It's certainly not 'Waffle' it's very interesting, clear and concise. Looking forward to your next films. Kind regards Jonnie.👍

I had a minor for years in my early years .and of course driving home one eve the king pin failed and pulled out lower trunnion .. result being LH front side of car collapse! I fitted new king pins both sides c/w new trunnion..and greased with Castol Mo2 ,moly grease..regular they never failed again! The standard LM grease cant take the loading on acme threads

Excellent video Tim , I am just about to do mine and so your video has come at just the right time . Very good view and explainatiion of what you are doing. There is just one point I am not sure about , did you grease the poly bushes or was it vaseline you used when assembling the trunnions ? 👍

Good stuff, Tim. Your video will dispel the apparent complexity for others. Did I see you using a plain nut, or was it - correctly - a Nyloc nut on the very front of the tie-bar? Originally, they fitted a castelated nut and split pin there, but a modern brand-new Nyloc will do.

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?

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?

Fabulous detail on the rebuild, surprised you didn’t fit a disk conversion as I understand the drums a little unresponsive to pedal action...? 🤔

Nice...good reference material here... ....and what's the music you got playing?

Are you going to keep the Bakes as just basic drums on the front as Stock, or go for a Servo on same, or even go down further the with a Servo-'Disc' Upgrade...Great Upload...

Hi Tim, I'm refurbishing my moggies front suspension and am tackling me trunnions ! How far do you screw the trunnions on and looking at my tie bars, they had the castellated nuts but I can't find any evidence of a hole for a split pin nor documentation showing one either 🤔

I need some parts of morris minor car

Ah, the dreaded trunnions. When they go pop your moggy will drop.

Hello dear,how can we find brand new spare parts for morris minor ,can u plz tell me,hope a reply ,thank you..

Question Tim have you converted positive earth to negitive earth?

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

very instructive! Might I recommend you lower the volume on that really irritating background music near the end of the video I had a 1956 Morris Minor and of course the whole front assembly always puzzled me because it was nothing like any other front suspension I've ever seen...

Hi

Hi.why didn't you put the wheel cylinders on first a lot easier to do that.plus you should have put the bottom trunnion on first jack the arm up then put the top one on.very easy. Good luck.kevin.
