the rear hub nut is not castlated, it's secured by a locking washer. the lock washer locates into a hole on the stub of the axle.

rear hub nuts are either 1 7/8 inches or 47mm. There are 2 sizes knocking around, as some reproduced ones are not the original size.

[chrisryder]

in fact i've just measured one of each side.

i get 46mm on one and 47mm on the other!

The rear hub nuts are castled nuts on my series mm with a split pin to secure,my rear n/side hub is dangerous as not protected by a split pin owing to not having a castled nut fitted.

my rear hub nuts are 1 7/8.

We are refering to the Series MM axle not the A Series, cheers

Yes - it's the early axle...... Not the Minor 1000 axle..... The +ve camber can be rectified by fitting a thickish washer behind the eyebolt head, just make sure the nut on the end of the eyebolt remains fully engaged. In fact I used steel plate rectangle with a suitable hole drilled to take the eyebolt shank. Retrack the wheels when finished!

i saw no mention of vehicle age at all in this thread. I assumed it was a later car!

sorry for the confusion.

[mike.perry]

The subtle clue was "Castlated nut". I have the advantage of knowing what car Bootlid has.

[bootlid]

i am going to do a recheck on the camber eventually when i get the car out again,quite pleased though it was my garage floor contributing to the problem aqnd not some thing else to worry about,thanks for all replies.[frame][/frame]

[bmcecosse]

All along it's been side-valve engine questions, and MM chassis questions.......

[mike.perry]

Maybe Series MM questions should be posted under Series MM Register to avoid confusion.

[bmcecosse]

Probably only get limited replies there......

[mike.perry]

At least people will not be wasting their time researching the wrong answers.

[bmcecosse]

Indeed!

[chrisryder]

or it could be mentioned in the title of the thread, or in the first post.

or they could say what car they've got in the sig.

i did notice that it said castlated nut, but having no experience of these early cars (my dads '53 has a 1098 axle) i wasn't to know.

i will make the mental note that bootlid has an early car. once again, sorry for the inconvenience.

[mike.perry]

Thanks for your learned assistance as always. I have put a posting on the Series MM section for people to use that section for their Series MM questions so that you will not waste your time researching M1000 answers

[bootlid]

bmcecosse meant to mention to you that both eyebolts have the c shaped thick washer and yet offside front slightly positive camber.

[bmcecosse]

You need to make/fit a thicker washer! +ve camber makes for horrible handling......

[bootlid]

ok, looking into thicker washer thanks.
