Nominal Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 OK, so, made a new bracket for inside the door. The tabs hold a piece of spongy rubber. ]https://www.supermotors.net/getfile/1142178/fullsize/p1020095.jpg Did some priming, bogging (+ repeat) and painting. It hasn't been colour sanded yet so it's not shiny. Shouldn't rust for a while again although. https://www.supermotors.net/getfile/1142179/original/p1020152.jpg More patchwork colours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 The other things on the WOF list from last time were the outer tierod end on the passenger side. Should be not problem, right? Well, that's what I thought until I had a look under there. It's a bit of an oddball, just a single part with two ball joint ends. Bought a used one from TM, cleaned it up and fitted new boots. I think they are supposed to have the bend, so I installed a bend in the replacement one too. Wheel bearings were also noisy. Cue grease session That could be why 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 New bearings and seals acquired. There was a shit-ton of grease in the hubs when I took them off. Much less went back in. The ball bearings have a spacer between the sets (the cone shaped doo-dad.) All back together I set the toe-in and went for a test drive with the Morris Enthusiasts club today. So, should be good for a new WOF eh? Will find out week after next. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 OK, so WOF was acquired after fixing a leaky oil pressure gauge hose connection. Next on the list was Wagnats.... Not far home a loud knocking develop. Turned out to be loose wheel nuts on the left rear - easily sorted. Wagnats was fun as usual. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I decided to put it up for sale to declutter/make space event though it's quite a nice drive. Further improvements (like paint) would be a lot of time and money, and it is unlikely to be worth it in $$ terms. So, it's gone to a local yokel, but there are still a pile of parts to be collected. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
