Hi,
Also in amongst the spares with my new traveller was this item:

However I don't recognise what it is / what it's for??
I'm sure I'm going to kick myself but can someone enlighten me?
Many thanks,
Mike.

It looks like a suspension bottom ball joint, but it's obviously not standard Minor part :-?

Initially the translucent 'rubber' boot threw me, as I thought it was some sort of poly bush. Here's a similar ball joint for a Honda Accord.

Years ago I bought a job lot of Minor spares. There was a nice set of brake shoes included, but unfortunately they weren't for a Minor and I had no idea what they were for. The box didn't have a part number :roll:

Another bit for the ever growing 'freebie' pile at the 2022 National then.
I have forgotten what the corner of my bedroom looks like! :lol:
Best wishes,
Mike.
