I buy the couple , one of them 23 inch , other one 30 inch ( buy from here , they sell that size for morris )

And can you tell me where the correct position to set joint

not sure of actual size but usual to just take old bits off and measure them then add two or three inches to be sure they will reach,or use a length of string etc, you get rid of the excess buy simple putting a S bend in the middle, or slightly different route dosent have to be straight so long as its secure. Unless of course you are wanting concourse show winning rebuild good luck

The 'T' connector that that joins the two pipes on either side of the rear axle is attached to the L/H side of the diff housing. There is a hole drilled in the diff housing strengthening flange to accept the 'T' connector.

The rubber boot is removed and then fitted to the back of the backplate, after the cylinder has been fitted.
