Nominal's 1961 Morris Oxford Traveller

OK, so, made a new bracket for inside the door. The tabs hold a piece of spongy rubber.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
