Are these the same as Minor - I believe they are, but don't hold me to it!

Ian, the ad suggests these are for 1934 10 / 12 hp cars and therefore larger diameter discs, Morris part number for the 10/4 was I believe 50486. The Minor and early Eights were the same, Morris part number 3411 - outer diameter 140mm, centre diameter 50mm. The vendor could check these sizes should anyone be interested in bidding

Be very careful buying 'New Old Stock' couplings - they often go rock hard and are no use to man nor beast!
Remeber they are supposed to flex! Fit new and forget them!

I'd agree entirely with David's comments. New fabric discs in various sizes are available from S.E.S. -

Not sure of their current price as my Eight has Hardy Spicer U/J's.
