Vintage Minor Register

Remains of 1934 Van on E-Bay under Morris Vehicles.

Yes but do not have the details with me. Will find them and put them on the forum tomorrow. From memory they are HSS and are in Devon and you can pick individual ones or sets.

I suggested using a leaf from a rear spring is because they are imperial size ( which I am led to believe is difficult to get hold of) and the leaves are held together with clips and through bolts.

I will do a straight swap with you with an OM type with a top feed float chamber. Please e-mail me to confirm. Where are you located?

I will have a look and if I have one it can go in the A...

I acquired a 13mm x 3/8" drive crowsfoot socket at Beaulieu and ground it out to fit 5/16" nuts. Colin Lee has used it without complaint!! I do not know what torque he used, must ask him.

Ian,

Put me down for two to start with.
