Re: Poly bushes
Just an update, finished the bush replacement, both sides. Took me a while, being fussy. However I’m relatively happy with the end result. Mind you I ache now ! Anyone would think I’m getting old ——- oh hang on, I am !!

Re: Poly bushes
Yes, it’s not as plain sailing as one is led to believe. I phoned ESM and it was suggested that their blue bushes go through the chassis and the red through the spring. Regarding the steel pins, the red (thicker flange) bushes, when assembled are wider than the distance from shoulder to shoulder of ...

Re: Poly bushes
The large blue bushes are for the front of the spring on the van, there is a pin that protrudes from the chassis cross member, this is where the large bush slides over, followed by the spring then the second large bush, washer and nut. Those plates you illustrate should hit the shoulder of the assoc...

Re: Poly bushes
Yes maybe the blue go to the chassis, reds to spring. Thanks for help Stephen, I think van is the same at the rear fittings.

Re: Poly bushes
You can see the bushes for the rear shackles, ( the ones far right and far left ) a pair in blue ( thin flange) a pair in red ( thicker flange) Which go where, —— blue fitted to spring end, or fitted to chassis.

Re: Poly bushes
Thanks Bill, my main concern was the difference in flange thickness, the ESM site shows in the rear spring kit regarding the rear shackles, a blue pair and a red pair, I want to know which ones are fitted to the chassis and which ones go to the springs. I’ll have to call them, see if they know.

Poly bushes
I’ve noticed there are two types of poly bushes available for the rear spring shackles, maybe more, different manufacturers seem to decide their own specifications, typical of most stuff now. The difference with the ones I’ve got is in the flange thickness, one set (blue) is thinner measuring 2 mm, ...

Re: Spark plugs
It depends on the spark plug number, you need to check what it is. Champion N9Y or N5 would be ok. Not sure what you mean about an air leak involving plugs, any leaking there would involve the sealing washer, assuming the plug is not cross threaded !

Grease
I decided to fit poly bushes to my rear springs, when dismantled it so happened that the rear shackles already had these bushes but the front did not, I’ll replace them all anyway. The bushes were purchased a long while ago and I can’t remember if the grease l have found, was for the assembly of sai...

Re: Start of rear repair first timer
Yes, well done for taking it on, the Morris Minor design lends itself to the DIY owner/restorer, the consequence being satisfaction and financial saving. My projects wouldn’t have happened if I had to pay someone.
