Alloy wheels

[gammy126]

Hi , Im thinking of changing my standard wheels on my moggie. Do any of our modern day cars have wheels that will suit that i can get from a scrap yard ?????

Many thanks
Alan

no.
the moggy is 4"pcd and nothing modern uses it as a stud pattern.

In a word no Morris minors have 4inch pcd (101.6 mm) modern cars have 100mm pcd they will fit but will bend the studs and run the risk of the snapping the studs under braking and losing a wheel but I think vans and pickups have diffent pcd but not sure

All Morris Minors ERROR
The Series MM and early Series 2 have a 4 1/2 in PCD

Ahh well spotted can someone tell me when they went to 4" so I can change it?

Vans and pick-ups have the same pcd,

[mike.perry]

The Series MM and early Series 2 used Morris suspension and brakes. From 1954 on they had Austin mechanicals inflicted on them.
Austin A30?
Austin A40
Riley 1.5
Wolseley 1500

[Bulldog]

So from 54 on had 4" van and pick ups had 4"too? A30 a35 is the same car but more doors but have change that too

[mike.perry]

A30 = 803 = Series 2
A35 = 948 = Minor 1000
A40 = 948, 1098

Don't want to hijack the thread but what pcd does my 57 minor 4 door saloon have in mm please. As I've seen a set of alloys on ebay of 108 pcd.

[Alex'n'Ane]

It will be 4". They wont fit, thats ford pcd.

[Bulldog]

4 inch is 101.6mm

[mike.perry]

Travellers and LCVs 1953 on, they never had Morris axles.

Gday guys, I'm posting from Tweed Heads NSW Australia. So, if I understand correctly, the earlier Moggies had a 4.5" PCD. Is everything else the same? Will the earlier hubs fit onto my Series II spindles? I would like to run a 4.5 "PCD to match the Datsun 1600 (510) IRS I plan to install on my ute. I am also planning on running R31 Skyline disc brakes on the rear. They come with a cable operated handbrake.
