Hi guys
i have in my minor literature collection a service school book
cover reads
Service School
The Dominion Motors Liminted
Head Office
Wellington
New Zealand
(i think they were importers/CKD to nz - someone prove me wrong)
This is for the Morris minor and Oxford
it contains a service bulletin from 28th feb 1949 - so i believe the book is around this age.
It contains all the general data, chassis details, engine details, equipment, dimentions and details on how to install and service the suspension and steering.
Im not sure on copyright (dosent say anywhere that it is, and i think being a service manual for the headoffice to send out to mechanics or what ever it wouldnt be?)
but i could post some of the data if theres a demand?
