The reason i started looking at the dimentions was i knew that mine had been replaced.
It get pretty confusing when every one has a different size shock.

Thanks again for every ones help,

Vigil

Thank You for your post. The information you posted would make the Volvo 244 a excellent match. I have to believe Russ did his home work before trying them. Today I see a shock on Ebay - he says It is correct for Morris Minor Van/Pick up - listed as 10 closed & 16 open. listed at http://www.ebay...

Thank You

Does any one have an original shock they can measure to give me the attributes. Or Does any one know a dealer that would give me the information? Compressed length, extended length & Stroke if possible. The reason I am asking is all the shocks people tell me will work on the Van have different a...

I totally agree with you. I found what you wrote about the past interesting. Small amounts probably do not harm our motors. I just wanted people to know long use does take its toll on the motor. I am sure you agree 27% lower fuel economy is not exceptable. That means more fill ups & cost to us t...

If you guys think it does not hurt your motors you are fooling yourself.. It not only promotes wear it also gives you lower fuel economy. The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) case for E15, a fuel blend consisting of 15 percent ethanol and 85 percent gasoline, has completely fallen apart, as e...

I am having problem with my horn. The horn is on the turn indicator stock with the light. The indicators work in both directions now. They had a problem too. The two fount buckets that hold the bulbs were so rusty there was water lines in the bulbs. After replacing the sockets & bulbs the turn i...

I was thinking the same thing. That is more then head lights.... If you buy all the fixing 2 Screws, 2 clips, rubber seal, lens, bulb holder, 2 bulbs It comes to almost 26 pounds plus shipping.. What are you going to do if there the only game in town? I guess feel lucky you got the parts & not l...

Thank You for all your help......

Does any one have an extra origianl Number Plate Lamp for the rear on a van. Or know of a replacement part from one of the vendors. What are other people using as a replacement on their Vans? I can not be the first one to need the Number Plate Lamp for the rear. Thanks for your time & help, Vigil

The original cover on my car is Amber with a metal piece that flips over the cover. This directs the light away from the driver towards the dash & floor. The light does not get in the drivers eyes. When i flip it the other way my friends say it looks like a yellow man inside the car. I am not su...

That is correct.The question was not becaue i want them on my car. I have only seen them on a few vans & was wondering which one was used. I think they look fine both ways. I have a set to install on my tourer. But i have never got around to instaling them. I am still trying to decide if i reall...

I for got to ask why

Is that your van in the pictures?
Is the trafficator the SE!)) model?

Vigil

Sorry i am not sure what you mean by cab number.
Is that the same as the frame number?
I know that the vehicle was bult 1959. frame number - 96263
96263 was built after sept of 1959 but before Jan 1960.
Is that what your looking for?

Vigil

Do you know what model was used?

I know Lucas made a SE62 & SE100
They both were enclosed in a black box. see picture
There may be more. These are the only ones listed in my reference picture.

Thanks for your reply,

It has never been changed so the spring could have been changed by the heat is what i was hoping. I am not looking forward to pulling the motor again. The parts - valve,spring, washer & new cap if needed are all cheap. It sure would be great if it solved the problem. I am probably not that lucky...

great picture

Thank You

Vigil

I am not quite sure what your mean by up front.
