I also found the boot lid doesn’t fit at all , the top fits but down the sides is tight , I think il have to remove the back panel and try. And push them out a tad when fitting the new back section as it doesn’t fit there either

Then proceeded to weld in the front lower repair floor panel and offered up the other sill panels to make sure it’s all in the right place.

Had to weld in a little support on the cross beam so it wouldn’t move

Started to cut the other sill off today and repair the inner quarter and inner a pillar .

So far so good

I think I’m being over fussy on the door and wing gaps , but iv settled with reasonable even gaps , the wing gap is a little to big , but I’m happy to let it go. Here is my trainee for the day , getting to grips with a ratchet and getting his knees dirty wearing his new overalls specifically for hel...

I'd slap a bit of grease over the end of the hand brake cable ( the nipple, clevis pin and yoke ). Keeps everything moving freely and stops the rust fraying the end of the cable. Split pins. I was always taught to bend the two "legs " back on themselves , encasing the clevis pin , cutting...

Iv now fitted the new bearings and can safely say it’s all fine and dandy, the shafts are in , brakes all done and adjusted up , all the brake pipes are now connected ,I just need to change the 3 way connector position and fill with oil , but il do that when it’s on the car and on it’s wheels. Thank...

Would 90nm be enough ? Or should I go more say 120 -140 nm ? seems odd they don’t specify a figure. Yes I haven’t forgot the lock washer.il fit the half shafts and see what happens . This bmc manual is it online that I can down load? Thank you for all you help .

There is only one bearing fitted to a Minot rear hub. Item No: 82 is the bearing, item No: 83 is the seal. You will have a small amount of bearing play until it is all fully assembled - have you got that far yet? There should be no need for sealer between hub/gasket and half-shaft flange. The thick...

I’m having a little trouble with the rear bearings on my 1956 moggy .there is a lot of play in and out on the hub to outer bearing race .here are a few pics . Any help will be very much appreciated?? ....but iv been looking on the moss website and noticed the exploded diagram of the diff shows two b...

Now the main problem I have is the play in the hub , these following pics are the in and out movement on the outer race .your thought guys would be very very helpful as i only have limited knowledge and I’m learning !???

Rear brake and cylinder

It must be the right way up as on the pic because I fitted it the other way and the handbrake cable was at a funny angle
Here are other pics of the back of the cylinder and the handbrake cable in relation to the cylinder arm

Assuming you are talking about the rear wheel sliding in and out, you need to determine where the relative motion is. Is it bearing inner race to housing or bearing outer race to hub. The latter can be confirmed if the outer race does not protrude a bit from the hub. The former is more likely and s...

I’m more then happy with criticism I’m not going for an exact series 11 splitty. Im restoring the car to how my grandpa had it when he passed it on to me. Thank you for nice comments tho . I’m just a little worried about the rear hub having play in it !!!

Hi all , been a week or two since iv posted, Christmas been and gone . Iv fitted the rear brakes, hand brake cables and brake pipes to the diff , iv noticed when tightening the hub nuts on one side , when it was tight , the hub it self is sliding in and out by hand , what could cause this ? Is it th...

Yes will do . I wiped a little over them when fitting them

Well , a few weeks ago I mentioned that I was a bad boy this year and I was sure that nothing was under the tree, ( iv given the card a good battering this year ) and for that reason , I wasn’t expecting anything , but low and behold , under said tree was many shiny Morris bits , 4 wheels and chrome...
