If it is a ribbed case are you sure the remote is for a ribbed case as the smooth case remote is shorter than the ribbed case remote so won't work on a ribbed case.

I'm with Don with this, looks like the correct gear stick, top one is the smooth case.

Yes. From the MMOC home page, EVENTS drop down, then select What's On, then select View on the National Rally dates. That brings up the form.

Early Series 2 cars retained the small badge and chrome strip, probably to do with the stepped changes in production from Series MM to Series 2. I used the image from Potteries site on my previous post to show the badge and chrome strip, not a point of reference. I have amended my previous post in c...

Hi, Your car should have the small badge and long chrome strip.

Best to email or call Bryan, his contact details are in Minor Matters.

I recommend the regulators from CLASSIC DYNAMO & REGULATOR CONVERSIONS LTD. I replaced my lowlight with one of their regulators, it is excellent. It looks like an original. I have since purchased one for my van.

Good to know. Thanks Les

Have you tried Club Spares?, Bryan specialises in Series MM and Series 2 spares.

What was his answer to your question re the tag numbers?.

Yes you have a smooth case gear stick, you need to source a rib case gear stick. I don't think the gear shifter is a straight swap from the smooth case to the rib case, I understand the gear shifter and gear selecting rods on the smooth case is shorter than the rib case so the gear shifting rods won...

The attached should help. Smooth case on the top in the photo.

You have Roy's famous TR7 5 speed brake shoe conversion.

That jacking plate was only on the Series MM and Series 2 (possibly), not on the later cars. It was welded on the outside of the inner wing. Pictured my 49 lowlight.
I'm sure someone will be along soon to confirm this .

The split 2 piece castings in the axle, the later axles are 1 piece design.

If the axle in your post is the one you are considering buying, it looks like a Series MM early Series 2 axle, not sure you would want to fit that to your later car. I'm sure someone will be along shortly to confirm the id of the axle.

Well not on my original 1966 pick up....

The modification was probably around 68, as the screen shot came from a Morris Minor workshop manual published by British Leyland. I own a 66 pick up which is original, it hasn't got the hub modification.

If it is the hub seal that is leaking, there was a modification to the hub with an added O ring which did fix the oil leak problem.
