Morris Minor Owners Club

Took my 3.5 ton Iveco turbo daily for an MOT last week and as I know the inspector he let me underneath whilst it was on the lift as I hadn't seen undeneath before, my first suprise was that it has 2 prop shafts apparently because of the length as one would flap about, I then turned my attention to the front end and discovered..............torsion bar suspension, just like a moggy, fancy that eh ?[frame][/frame]

Never considered that possibility before but, thinking about it, a tipping cab would mean suspension turrets were a bit of a pain.

A coil spring is just a torsion bar - all coiled up!

Erm..... theres a photo now. That doesn't have a tipping cab does it..

The later Ivecos have a transverse leaf spring on the front. There's progress for you

2 piece prop? Pah my LWB transit has 3!

Mk2 escorts also had 2 piece props and most other rwd fords from the 70's onward

Thought the photo would help with the tipping cab bit

Thanks, but it would seem that I don't need any help being a complete twonk.
