Re: SV2612 - a restoration project in Sweden
Steering gear play fixed My 1931 Minor has an early worm and wheel steering box - and a excessive play as well :D I could easily move the arm about 2 mm sideways! Because my first priority is a car in mechanical good standard (rather than concours perfection) this can´t be accepted! Adjust the bolt...

Steering box adjustment
Is it possible to adjust a steering box play? I can move the shaft (that is connected to the drag link) a little. On top of the box there is a stop nut and something which I guess can be a adjuster nut...

wheel bolt problem
When planning assembly of the rear axle I noticed that one of the wheel bolts was different - too small diameter at the base. I think it will work as it is, but...? Some feed back would be helpful...

Re: SV2612 - a restoration project in Sweden
Rear leaf springs assembled Before I could assemble the rear springs I needed to replace the old bushes. I found new ones at Ian Harris, 16 mm outer diameter and 1/2 " inner. However, it was necessary to shorten them a little bit and adjust the inside dimensions slightly. New bush but too long...

Brake shaft bushes
Does someone know where to find the two bushes that support the "brake cross shaft" (hope it´s clear what I´m looking for)? Outer diameter about 29 mm and inner diameter about 25 mm (Ian Harris does not have them). If not I´m planning to find a suitably brass tube and make them myself. /Th...

Re: SV2612 - a restoration project in Sweden
Well, I´m ashamed - when assembly the front axle I forgot both the "rubber stop" and the caster shims. And you are quite right - the springs differ. Something I haven't noticed myself :oops: By the way, does anyone know where to find the two bushes that support the "brake cross shaft&...

Dashboard shape
Need to make a new dashboard - is this the right shape for my £100 Minor? The existing dashboard is 14 mm thick.

Re: SV2612 - a restoration project in Sweden
Spent some hours with the little Morris today. Just enough time to assemble the front springs. A little reflection - I usually turn the crown nuts very firmly and then unload a "track". Someone who has a different opinion? Do also remember that I once read that it may be good idea to grind...
