Hello from Oz. When machining Minor uprights to fit Marina stub axles for the disc brake conversion, should the Marina axles be a press fit or interference fit into the uprights?
I am hoping Philthehill can advise, as l note he has made this modification succesfully.

(c) Metro exhaust manifold, cast iron (dual outlets).

Hello from Australia. Can anyone advise me how to change the Marina disc brake hubs & studs to Morris Minor studs @ 4" PCD? I have access to a lathe and milling machine and would appreciate any advice on how to go about modifying the hubs. I am assuming some of you learned associates may ha...

Hello all. I have just acquired a pair of complete swivel pin assemblies from a Riley 1.5. I noticed that the steering arms are mounted higher in the swivel pin, when compared to the Minor 1000 version. Q. If I were to use these Riley swivel pins in my Minor 1000, would the steering arms location be...
