Below is a Marina/Ital stub axle fitted to a Minor swivel. Marina stub axle.JPG The hub nut locking arrangement is different - note the splines onto which a internal splined washer fits, the hub nut does not have any castellation's and is locked by a special locking washer which is secured by a spli...

What ever the grade those bolts with washers are I would advise that they need to be replaced with the correct bolts & without washers and correctly torqued.

The hubs are Marina/Mr Grumpys with the 3.75"Marina PCD revised to 4" I have the same hubs on my Minor. Grumpy hub 2.jpg The hub bearings should be taper adjustable bearings not parallel. Do you have the stub axle adapter sleeve fitted which fits over the stub axle and allows the appropria...

I would be looking for around 150 psi.

The number stamped on the SPAX gas adjustable damper body as supplied as part of a SPAX gas damper conversion kit for the front and rear of a Minor is G7364AO.

I do have the SU Reference Catalogue. Burlen Fuels ALT9524, Issue 12/4, December 1998. It states for a 1098cc 'A' Series engine fitted with a AUD 13 carb the needle should be AUD1478AN. The catalogue does not give a listing for the HS2 carb when the PCV valve is fitted/used or for the HS2 carb with ...

The manifold in the photo above is the early 2 piece manifold for a H2 SU carb. There is no provision for either a PCV valve or servo vacuum take off. The manifold appears to have been drilled and tapped for a vacuum pipe take off. Only the later manifolds have provision for the PCV valve and servo ...

The idea is that as the pipe exit is low and in the under car depression slipstream and any fumes are meant to be sucked out of the engine and dispersed into the atmosphere. Not very environmentally friendly . Later cars had the breathers piped into the inlet tract and any fumes generated were consu...

They are just outside Nottingham - where are you?
At the moment have not found any reviews but they may be there somewhere.

Make a note of the part numbers as a supplement in your Army Minor parts list then you will have a record of the alternative bushes available.

Well done.
The correct bolt for this application is 1/4" BSF bolt but a 1/4" UNF bolt or in my case I have fitted a 12.9 high tensile UNF cap headed bolt.

Photo of rear damper link bushes below. 1. ESM damper link Pt No: SUS702 with fitted one piece rubber bush. Note: The rubber bush has been removed from the top eye. The ESM bush was removed for use in the top eye of a gas tele damper conversion kit so as to be able to utilise the damper chassis moun...

Have you lined up the hole in the column with the waisted section of the rack pinion? With all lined up the bolt will pass easily though the column and past the waisted section of the pinion. If you have a shallow taper punch put it into the hole and wiggle it about and that should line everything u...

If you are having to replace the rear suspension damper top link bush (the one that fits onto the chassis pin) forget the two piece rubber bushes or a poly bush and fit a classic Mini suspension damper bush Pt No: 21A1230. If you can find them bush 21A503 is even better. 21A503 is also a one piece b...

As regards the non draining oil filter for the Marina engine the Unipart GFE 150 appears to have a one way non draining rubber flap on its outer ring of holes which is the oil entry side for the oil to flow into and through the oil filter element. The rubber flap helps to keep oil in the oil filter ...

Alternatively you can get a oil filter wrap around magnet For example:- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/112578146589?itmmeta=01HS8PE7FFBNHX4RKY22PVC288&hash=item1a362e311d:g:~gMAAOSwYkBZyhse&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8NiooYBWrItjeuHXMxPLAr3LZK9iaPZ5asDS1l6vpakBLd0B187C42QbA56vL1wi5p3ElFvbQ%2Bp%2Fs0Ehb...

If you had the half-shafts heat treated the process would have 'normalised' the molecular make up of the metal and helped removed any rotational stresses that had built up over the years. So it would not be a problem for the hardened half-shaft which ever side it was fitted to.

The thermostat housing with temp take off was not a standard item on a 1098cc as all the 1098cc heads had a temp take off facility as standard. The 12A408 thermostat housing is quite rare though they are available new at a price from Australia. There is currently a 12A408 thermostat housing for sale...
