Traveller rear axle

Post by Grobin »

Any kind person out tnere have a Traveller mk2 type rear axle for sale.
I currently have my Morris sulking in a local garage since discovering rotten
brackets . I've looked all over the internet but not found one - sadly a few offers which are clearly not morris. I would be very grateful - in Sheffield but happy to travel or pay delivery.
Thank you.🙏

So are you looking for a Series II split-case rear axle?

It is common for the axle brackets to rust and for the axle tube to develop pin holes and leak oil. This is because dirt and moisture collects there. It is possible (although it is skilled job) to repair the axle tube and weld on new brackets. So I was told on my most recent visit to Morris Minor Workshop in East Sussex.

If you are looking for a split axle casing/assy and have no success you can replace the axle with a later complete assy. You may have to fiddle around with the prop-shaft but all doable.
Good luck.

What year is your Traveller?, it would help so it is known which axle you need.
