  The parking cable was stuck. This problem could be solved out --- just immerse it in Kerosene for many days. This may help. |

Father installed the power steering with a hand from me. He just changed a brake band and one thing to the AT. These two second hand are Jaguar parts, which we had stored for years and which can be used for our Morris. Of cause, all the O rings were replaced as well. The AT was assembled and reinstalled back to it position under the engine. Differential system also installed, too. From that point, one thing we had to do was waiting for chain, sprockets, cable, flywheel, door seals and window seals to arrive.    It's a pity I forgot to clean the rusty area here. It's more room for me to do the job in the future. |

Hi Tony An amazing collection of excellent photos and I am really impressed with the ingenuity and skills in tackling all these repairs in a country where these components are, I imagine, unfamiliar. The ignition unit looks as though it uses good old fashioned metal cased (T03?) transistors and is kept cool with the massive heatsinks. I will follow it up to see what more info I can gather, thanks. I wonder, are you a member of LOCI? Last time I looked the database was down so I can't check. If so, I am sure they would be very interested in your amazing story. I've not seen an automatic 1800 with power steering, an alternator and front an rear air-conditioning anywhere. Let me know if you woul like to write a page or two (A5 size)and I will put you in touch with the right people. Regards David Hi, David She is back right now and all of the repair is done. The orange electronic ignition is called ULTRA Transistor Ignition by Japan --- ours style is ULI 6000R. Key words : ULTRA Transistor ignition You can search this product online. There is a lot of info talking about it. Also wiring diagrams. Ours is out of date and the new style products are only sold in Japan as far as I know. But now they probably have changed the rules. You might try if you would be interested in that. Very expensive right now! www.nengun.com/ultra/semi-transistor-ignition-system-uti-6000-siiView Attachment View Attachment ours Regards Tony Hi Tony Thanks for the info. I'm sure Chris would be interested in an electronic ignition system that is reliable as he is our champion for destructive testing  The most reliable unit I ran also used the contact breakers as the trigger and the unit lasted for >100,000 miles. It only finally failed when I transferred it to another car and was too lazy to provide a separate power feed to the electronics from the one that fed the coil, so the back EMF weakened it. regards David |

David Anthony Wood has just asked me to join LOCI after I reported him about the finished repair. I'll do it next week. I must say that my father did most of the repair. He was grown up under the Japanese rules, started his career at the age of 13; went to Japan in his 30s for a couple of months; always try to find the real cause and fix it first instead of changing it. This is what he was trained by himself and the Japanese. When I was in London, I told to my English teacher about my father. She said that my father is a streamlined mechanic. Now he is 80 this year. There are many stories about what he did to classic vehicles, like changing the steering wheel system from the right to the left here on a RR 1960s or older. He didn't get any new parts, just used the original parts. You wouldn't believe that there used to be a connection between Great Britain and Japan. Ours Morris engine was first rebuilt about more than 20 years ago. One of our staff didn't clean it at all, which made the engine oil pump damaged. It was very difficult to get a new one. Father suddenly realized that he searched the old style of Nissan vehicles. He Luckily found one, which had the same inner part of oil pump as Morris had --- common parts. I think that the Japanese learned the skills from Great Britain at the very early age. Nowadays, we also speak the names of car parts in Japanese --- it sounds like Japanese, in fact it is English. Sorry. I don't know about T03? According to the service manuals of Morris, there is some information about power steering system. I wonder that you don't have one??? About a page, I really don't know how to write it. It's much easy for me to tell what have happened. Many thanks.

Your father is a brave man, Tony. I don't think I'd fancy pulling an automatic box apart. The Ultra ignition system is still available, by the way: NENGUN.COM. Chris. |

Many thanks, Chris. Continue to tell what we met next.  Father is trying to install the new parking cable. He found the easy way to do. Mum is just beside.  Then the new flywheel installed.   Remember this End Sealing Plate? You'd better marked for reassembly of existing plate before you remove it. |

Tony When you join LOCI you will be given access to the magazines on line or hard copy whichever you have chosen. You will see several articles from overseas owners - all very friendly and informal. Have a read and if you decide to submit an article, I think you have most of it here already. Unfortunately it seems quite a number of LOCI owners have never got to grips with computers so don't benefit from this website so it wouldn't be duplication. No pressure at all, just PM me if you feel like doing it some time. Sorry about my poor English, I am aware of the power steering but had never seen it on a vehicle that had the complexities of aircon as well. I don't think aircon was offered as an option on any overseas market unlike on the Austin 1100/1300 and last of the classic Minis. Your father's skills are amazing, sadly very hard to find anywhere nowadays. I was aware of the link up between Austin and Datsun (Nissan) with A series engines being made under licence in Japan (but better than the original) and lots of common parts. Would you believe that the 1800 drive shaft was used on the rear of the Datsun 240Z sports car for example! Datsun 240Zextract from link : "The 240Z’s engine was a straight-six with a chain-driven single overhead cam, which bore a distinct resemblance to a Mercedes of the period (there’s no obvious link, so let’s say it was an inspiration). It was teamed with a five-speed ’box. Front suspension was Ford-simple MacPherson struts, while the back featured another pair of struts with big, pressed-steel lower links, an independent system not unlike that on the Lotus Elan. A centrally mounted differential turned driveshafts which were apparently interchangeable with those on the front-drive Austin 1800, a legacy of the previous links between the two companies." regards David David Anthony Wood has just asked me to join LOCI after I reported him about the finished repair.

 We finally managed to install the oil pump housing with converter. We did it twice; first time failed as of the wrong position of the two holes of the End Sealing Plate. Second time succeed.  The yellow temporary marks on the double pulley of the crankshaft in order to easily march the holes between flywheel and converter for the installation. I just clock-wised the double pulley 90 degrees each. |

 The valve body was installed and then the fluid tubes, throttle cable, covers. The throttle cable must be installed at this point before the cover. |
