Have you tried asking on the wolseley forum as the members there will probably be more knowledgeable about the current spares situation.

HELLO MANY THANKS..GRANDAD

[LouiseM]

No problem. It looks like a good site. I'm sure they'll be able to answer all your Wolseley related questions.

[grumpygrandad]

I hope it's a picture of your car grandad.... you know what I mean.. "wink" "wink".

[charlie_morris_minor]

Do you think you will be able to use the M word in the W forum?

[bmcecosse]

What did they say about the Kingpins ? Although it's the 'same' kingpin - the hole for the steering arm is drilled through in the higher up 'bulge' in the arm. However - I suppose W kingpins could be re-drilled and used on Minors ...........

This seems to be getting really quite anti W!! Just waiting for the thread to be moved to off-topic

[LouiseM]

Well I can't see any 'anti w' comments here

It's just common sense that if you want detailed advice about a car that isn't a Morris Minor you'd be better off using an appropriate forum as you're more likely to meet other owners and get the answer you need.

No anti W comments .. I can fix that.

W is a terrible letter .. all spikey and angles, not like the lovely letter O or B ... even Q is a nicer letter than W, and dont get me started on X or its slightly less spikey cousin Y

PS: Yes I *am* a fruit loop, they only let us use the internet in here since tommy ate the crayons and made himself sick all over matron.

hello yes the M word and others are welcome,,,grandad

Some Wolseley kingpins had both holes open and can be used on Minors.

thank you as i have both the Wand the morris i would be interested to see if they fit each other????,,,grandad

[minor_hickup]

Well if they have both steering arm holes open then yes they will, this is the only difference between the two.

[bmcecosse]

So- how have the W (and R) boys been keeping their cars going vis a vis kingpins ? Have they been using Minor parts - and machining the extra steering arm hole ? Or do they have a tied-in supplier for their own kingpins ??
