Cool, thanks chaps!

You may find that the valve spring compressor pictured will not fit the 'A' Series cylinder head and may well be for the earlier Morris Minor side valve engine.

Ah! If that turns out to be the case I'll never need it - I'll sell it for some pocket money towards things I do need for my Traveller! :)

I do not know if you will get very much for it as there was one for sale at my local house clearance store for £3.
