The couplings on my Minor are pretty poor so i did a bit of googling and found GMS Polymer Engineering Ltd.
They are based in Birmingham and apparently make them any size to order. They are on 0121 551 5440 & http://www.gmspolymer.co.uk

One Up for the Morris Minor
Just thought I would give a warm glow to those who feel the A-Sevens needs to see a Minor's tail pipe occasionally. I succesfully saw off competition from about sixteen A7's / Chummys at the VSCC driving tests in the New Forest last weekend :D :wink: I wasn't in it to win but when i acheived a fault...

Re: Rear Main Journal Flange
Hi everyone. A bit of good news. CV3487 is now back on the road :D It feels good driving it again because the last time was at last summer's rally when it broke. (One or two may remember it was losing oil at a rate of about a pint every couple of miles). I sourced a flange from a chap Paul Rogers kn...

Re: Rear Main Journal Flange
The latest. Tony, I tried the numbers you gave but one was switched off and the other did not answer. I was going to try again but then remembered Dave Cooksey, who had invited me to call him at the vscc driving tests recently. He has a spare, so i shall collect it from him next week. I now have the...

Re: Rear Main Journal Flange
Sorry for the slight delay in replying. I will certainly try the fellow in Herne Bay and let you know. Thank you Tony. Ian, I believe the actual fault is on the Flange, not the crankshaft itself. I only need to replace the "rear main journal flange" (as its described in the manual). My pro...

Re: Rear Main Journal Flange
The saga continues..... Paul Rogers deserves a real thank you. He managed to source the parralell type flange from a friend of his in New Zealand. However, he has tested it with a dye kit and found it too has been cracked in the same place as my one (along the edge of the keyway) :cry: It appears th...

Re: Christmas 2008 - Virtual Pub Meet
Luckily since my minor has been off the road since the summer rally i have acquired a half share in my brother's Alvis so i have been "on the road" of sorts.

Re: Rear Main Journal Flange
i hope never to have to have it apart again...!!! I agree. Mine started as a bit of knocking which appeared to come from the rocker box. After replacing and re-engineering the valves and camshaft etc, the knock was still there. So we looked at the dynamo gears and couplings. These were also quite w...

My plea seems to be falling upon stony ground :cry: I shall have to get a new one made I fear. Can anyone recommend a good, but reasonably priced engineering workshop that might want to take this on?

Re: SV 2-seater for sale - in Texas
That price is either a joke or else my 29 cammy must be worth 30K.
If so, My car is for sale

Re: Rear Main Journal Flange
Yes. thanks Ian
This topic makes me feel like a real tecky.
I suppose it would be possible to have one made, although i would need the specification.
Could the original broken one be used as a template even though its split
