1929 morris minor - electrical diagram

Aug 17, 2007 12 Replies

Hi,



This I know is not the best forum for the question, but the nearest I can find.



does anyone in here have or know the location on the net of a scanned copy of the wiring diagram for a 1929 morris minor?



Regards, Keith



I have diagrams for the 1932/3 Minor (and the 1934) if it's any help. I'll scan and email with pleasure.

On the contrary, I'd say it's exactly the right forum! Good to see a sensible question, rather than the handbags-at-dawn stuff we often have to put up with.

Can't help you myself, I'm afraid, but I bet someone on this NG will. There's some pretty clever people at this Interweb thing around who take it as a personal challenge to root out the most obscure bits of information, usually successfully.

Wasn't the Minor of that era a 750cc or so OHC engine, which found its way into several MGs?

Good luck,

GMacK

I can't find the word Minor among my archives, but I have (undated but pre-1936) wiring diagrams for: Morris Commercial Model C Morris Commercial Model T2 Morris 8-HP Model Morris 10/4 Model Morris 25-HP Model

If any of those looks interesting to you, I can scan and e-mail.

I would have thought that any of them would suffice as a reference. Basic vehicle electrics didn't change much apart from the dynamo/alternator sections.

The OP didn't say why he wanted a wiring diagram. Looking through the ones I have, there are differences - the number of fuses, the colours of the wires, separate dynamo and starter or dynamotor, 6 or 12 volts, electric or mechanical fuel pump, and so on. Yes any of the diagrams might be useful as a reference, but supposing you are doing a restoration and wanted to make a new wiring loom. Wouldn't you want to get it exactly right?

Jim

You have a personal mail message on its way.

Jim

Jim, it was due to a charging fault.

Regards, Keith

Yup, its known as a 'cammy minor', one of the first OHC's I'm advised

Emailed - along with an MG M diagram and a dire warning about owners who have fiddled with third-brush dynamos.
