Thank you Ian.
Yes it is these shims that I am referring to.
I have just stripped a head that the sole way of controlling the mesh of the gears appears to be the thickness of the thrust washer "C"
Or am I still being silly.

Shim/s under OHC head.
Begging my ignorance or stupidity what purpose do shims placed between the head and the vertical drive seal mounting serve.
ie. the unit in which the top yolk of the flexi drive oil scroll runs.
Am I overlooking the obvious?

Re: Brake backplates for swapsies
Ian, if you can let me know what the pull-off levers look like I have some that are not M type. They could be what you want.
Have you seen item number 281142130655 on ebay?

Re: M Type in the 1950s
Ian,
Do you have any further details?
Interesting to note the large mud flaps fitted to the front wings/chassis. I am considering sorting out a similar arrangement as the quantity of mud that gets thrown up gets everywhere over the body.

Re: Who designed the Morris Minor engine?
During the late 1960s and early 1970s there was a Wolseley Viper engine on display at The Science Museum in South Kensington. If chopped in half the resemblance to the ohc Minor engine was remarkable.
I don't know if it is still on display, or now hidden away at the store (rarely open) at Wroughton.

Re: New Year's Day
The meeting at The Harp at Old Radnor was well attended but no VMR cars were there. Having company we used the Alvis (4 in an M type is a bit of a squeeze!). Bill Piggott having sold both his M type and ohc Minor was there in a very smart Riley 9, one of four present. The light cars were provided by...

Re: Autumn pub meet to celebrate the end of the MoT
Should we be celebrating the end of the MoT test? Yes, the MoT test is an expensive inconvenience; however it being abolished for pre 1960 cars to my mind opens a whole can of worms. There are insurance implications, the prospect of restrictions on use, the views of car owners who have to have an Mo...
