Trunnions

[mmjosh]

my grandad has just bought some brand new old stock trunnions for £70.00 of my mate with all the fittments and they look like they have come straight of the morris minor factory shelf[frame][/frame]

Any chance of seeing a pic of them, then?

[mmjosh]

there is a picture

Looks great! Pack them with grease and store in a plastic bag in case you ever need them. (If you grease your cars existing trunnions regularly (every1-2 thousand miles) you should hopefully not need them).

[mmjosh]

my grandad bought them just in case as you never know when you need them

[chickenjohn]

good plan!

[bmcecosse]

Very good buy - if he got the pair complete for £70!! Looks like complete with new steering arms too!

[mmjosh]

yes £70.00 complete and everything is there

Try the trunnions on immeadiately, and check for slop in the thread.

[bmcecosse]

Good point - are you sure they are not 'new' ones - made in China ?? Although - in that case I wouldn't expect them to come with steering arms. I really do think you have a good deal there.

original bmc kingpins never had a colour code on the leg, ie the red dob of paint
bmc ones were stamped l for left and r for right

but still a very good buy

[bmcecosse]

Unless made from the tins John West reject.............

Sorry Josh, didn't read NOS. Just New items require a thorough check, before use

[bmcecosse]

It's ok - I didn't mention WHO may have made from tins John West reject.........
