1.5 Wolseley Back Axle?

[EYV65]

So people who can't express themselves very well 'get the answer they deserve'.

Not very nice. Not everyone is an engineer.

All questions should be welcomed. We are here to help people; not get exasperated.

You explained that perfectly... and You got it RIGHT

Even though the Wolseley brakes are swopped side to side there is no problem with bleeding the brakes, they are bled in the normal way. All I can say is that I have never had a problem in bleeding the Wolseley 1500 rear brakes. In some ways it is easier than bleeding the Minor rear brakes.
Below you can see the hydraulic pipe run and if you look carefully you can see the bleed nipple.

Phil, This is a very good image... What do you do with your minor? looks as though you have modified quite a bit?

I am thankful for your suggestions, apologies for the confusion. And i will be looking for a minor axle, sell the wolseley diff but keep the brakes... Anyone got a spare 3.9 diff?

There's a bit of a clue in Phil's posting name I suspect - plus his signature photo.

[philthehill]

Yes the clue is in the posting name and the signature picture which is the start line at Prescott speed hill course.
The car has been used by myself on and off since the mid 1960s for speed hill climbing and sprints at club and national level.
The car is very much modified with a approx. 135 bhp plus 'A' Series race engine mated to a Quaife SC/CR gearbox and uprated brakes and suspension.

Jeezzze lighten up.
I put smiling faces on that line, which you carefully chose to ignore.
Are you taking lessons in selective misquoting from the main stream media?



I also said

Anyway, enough of this, this topic is about back axles...

[stuffedpike20]

It's simple geoberni; if you are going to get exasperated by people's questions, don't involve yourself in answering them.

People need encouraging to participate in the forum, and your attitude is off putting.

That is all I am going to say about the matter.

Awesome, Would love to hill climb a minor... not that i would know where to start. We go to Wiscombe every year (of course not this year ) and always want to get a moggie doing it!!

This made me laugh... Currently i believe the main stream media to be rather spectacular!! Of course information from the internet is devils work, and not advised... even your doctor tells you that (although the NHS guide is online?? whatever)

Just be kind to those of us with a lesser of intelligence and whom suffer from "is this too much information or not enough"

Be kind, have fun and stay safe people

Impressive rear axle set-up, Phil!

I take it there is a radius arm/anti-tramp bar out of shot? And I think I can see a bracket for a panhard rod?

[philthehill]

Thank you
There are rose jointed anti tramp bars fitted but as you say out of sight. The axle came out of the Talbot Express Minor with 5 link location but I have stuck with the non standard leaf springs.
The spring bushes are tight so very little if any side movement of the axle therefore have not bothered with a Panhard rod. May be one day a Watts Linkage will appear.

Hijacking this thread, Phil that looks an impressive set up.
Was the build documented anywhere? I bet it would make interesting reading (or a secret best kept from the opposition).

this is why I don't go on the facebook groups anymore. there are far too many 'experts' out there.

Ditto!
