Hi all ive just spent an interesting few hours removing the half shafts and wheel studs from my marina rear hubs after much fighting,sweating and swearing it seems the extended wheel studs i want to replace them with are the wrong ones the ones i have bought are for a mini and although the thread an...

The springs are mounted in the original rear spring front mounts as standard. The bare brackets are not the original spring mounts but are the front traction bars mounts. When the Marina axle is fitted the axle spring mounts have to be modified. All described in the Marina to Minor booklet availabl...

managed to get a bit of time to delve into the mire on level ground the car measures differently on each corner the front is obviously one spline out to the other side so i can sort that easily the back end has new leaf springs which are really stiff (7 leaves) but the biggest concern and something ...

The springs are not Marina/Ital. They appear to be Minor. The brackets fitted to the axle and body are I would suggest part of an Owen Burton Marina to Minor axle conversion. Fitting the Marina/Ital axle to a Minor was a popular conversion. I had a Marina/Ital rear axle fitted to my Ser 2. makes se...

yes unfortunately this was a blind purchase so im trying to make the best of it from experience i know the dampers are normally inboard and running from a plate under the U shackle the front leaf spring hanger brackets have been recently added by the look of it to accomodate the new leaf springs whi...

advice appreciated please my recently purchased traveller is running on 13 inch marina rims (5 inch wide ?) it has had a conversion to marina rear leaf springs and it has a marina rear axle and a telescopic damper conversion front and back sounds great on paper however the rear sits very high in the...

Hi all ive not been on here for quite a few years possibly 7 since i last owned a morris traveller anyway had some great advice about a 1275 conversion,metro inlet,hif carb,exhaust manifold modification etc... anyway i carried out all the work and the end result was great,really improved the standar...

an update on this as its still occuring i have tried 2 new hubs with new or different bearings which are ok for a few miles then the noise starts again i have located the noise to the passenger front wheel its recently had some new brake shoes fitted and thought these may be rubbing or touching the ...

Hmmm - is there (engine) oil in the gearbox and EP90 in the back axle? Prop shaft joints not loose - and recently greased? Is the exhaust clear of the body - not rubbing where it leaves the engine compartment?? yes gearbox oil full,exhaust clear of body will look into back axle oil and propshaft jo...

so is there a possibility its not burnt out ?? as its not making a noise but drawing a lot of current according to the voltage gauge
