Just to confirm 4ba won't fit. What you need is a couple of 1/4" 6ba's. These work a treat. Just thought I'd post this up in case anyone has the same query in future.

That's great, thanks for the reply

Does anyone know the size of the screws for the dashboard lighting switch please (the one underneath the dashboard near the speedo).

I've just obtained one (without screws unfortunately) as it was missing on my van.

Cheers

Brilliant, thanks very much Phil

There are no outer circlips fitted to the lay-shaft of a Minor 1098cc gearbox. All you have is the two inner circlips Pt No: 22G278, the distance piece Pt No: 22G277, the two roller bearings Pt No: 88G396. The roller bearings are retained in their working position by front thrust washer Pt No: 2A30...

The bearings are fully pushed home against the inner circlips so no problems there. The old bearings were replacements too, and of the same size as the new bearings. The last owner of the box must have fitted new ones without circlips, but I have no idea how many miles the box has done since then. T...

Just rebuilding a 1098 ribbed gearbox and I'm in the process of renewing the layshaft needle bearings (layshaft and laygear in good nick). The new bearings from ESM seem a touch long and extend well over the gap left for a circlip at each end. Has anybody else experienced this? I'd rather make sure ...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I've just tried the handbrake clevis pin and that's too large.

I'd get everything wired in and earthed correctly first (plenty of bright metal behind the earth points). I've just rewired a van and noticed the same problem halfway through so I pressed on and got all the lighting earths in (front and rear) and hey presto, when finished everything was fine. Also c...

Some good suggestions thanks. Will have a mooch around and see what I can find. Not too many Yacht chandlers around here though, couldn't be further from the sea (Yorkshire Dales)

Thanks, will give Bryan a try. Hopefully somebody has had the same problem and knows whether another pin might work too.

It doesn't seem like you can buy new clevis pins for the bonnet prop and mine have decided to snap. Rather than use a nut and bolt does anyone know offhand whether there is a clevis pin for another part of the car that will fit? Cheers

In case anyone is wondering in future I found the part numbers for the van rear door handle screws, they are 2Ba 5/8" long countersunk and stocked by some places as FIX125

Thanks, I'll give that a go.

Hello all, new member here with a 71 van.

I've just replaced the rear door handle but the chrome screws are a bit shabby. Does anyone know what size they are and if anyone sells new ones?

Thanks
