hi i am rebuilding a 1952 morris mra 1 4 x4 army truck and i am trying to find one in a museum or its civilian version the lc5 or heartbeat truck as its known , i have tried most of the normal places but no luck at all , has any one got any ideas

just a thought industrial dust extraction machines use a flexi plastic hose

all ground in fine , nice even seats

i am going down your suggested route ,i have pressed in new guides and with new valves fitted all seams fine

whats the latest thinking on valve stem seals , i had a fully rebuilt head with all new guides valves and unleaded seats inc the latter spring type stem seals on the guides on all 8 valves i have got the head off after 2000 ish miles for an unrelated problem and just checking it over i found three e...

my s2 speedo steams up in cold weather just cold glass with heat rising from the heater ,

just found an original mowog piston and the offset /wider side is to the cam side

hi luckily they do have a slight offset so i can work it from there , cp pistons uk are very helpful but they don,t list the a series and they think they are from a limited production run, looking at the pistons with the offset to the plug side the internal arrows point to the thrust side

hi has anyone fitted cp109 pistons in a 1098 ,i have a good set to fit but they don't have any fitment direction marks on the tops only two arrows inside the skirt which would point to the cam or distributor sides of the engine and the oversize markings are not forward either , the skirt has a slot ...

has anyone found a good source of info on pickup restoration with pictures of chassis details eg mounting points and how all the rear body goes together , i have all the normal books but nothing is shown

if you run a straight edge along the rails back from the kickup at the front are they flat

can anyone tell me if the bottom of van chassis rails are flat from the front till they go up behind the cab ,just been inspecting one and the rails go up from about the rack position to the front cross member by approx an inch,

thank you i could not see why they changed it given bmc liked to use a lot of common parts to all models

hi does any one know if a 2 door striker plate will fit a 4 door as i cant find one , bull motif say on their parts list they will fit , the spring won't stay in mine as its so worn , i don't want to swap it for the n/s as my doors shut so well

wow an ''admin warning '' i would move to a safe house quickly sounds like that missing 700 is linked to something sinister
