Morris Minor Owners Club

I have brought a king pin to replace the one on my Morris Minor 1000 but now that I have come to fit it the hole for the steering arm is too big. Is there a reason for this? And what can I do to resolve this problem?

yes you may have a kingpin for a 8cwt morris minor or Austin van

send it back and ask for one for a car

These are hard to come by! Where did you get it??

Got three of Ebay.

Well - if in decent condition. the late van swivel pins are worth money.....market it (them?) carefully. Of course - if the swivel threads are knackered, it's scrap metal......

Well there are two good second hand ones with top and bottom trunnions aswell as one that is new and has never been used. If anyone wants these I am prepared to swap them for the saloon car equivelent or sell them.

Are they ALL 'too big' for the steering arm??

Yes

Sure they are Minor swivel pins - with the steering arm hole in the lower of the two 'bulges' ?

They are in every other way identical to the one that I took off the car.

Well done - these are worth good money!!!!

Been as I no nothing about these how much are the roughly worth?

I'm sure you will get offers from the LCV brigade!

limited market tho

VERY limited supply.....

and limited folk want them
put them on the lcv site

Put them on ebay - this time with correct description and mention Van/Pick-up/LCV etc.

worth a try
I did have some and found them difficult to shift but good luck

Or contact a minor supplier and see if they will swap them for a pair of new car ones?
