Default good news

Paul

Good news. But don't break the speed limit in your C8 during the test drive

Us MCC owners have to stick together, we are few and far between in this far flung outpost

The old leather pinion seal on the CS8 rear axle is worn out and the 2" yoke had a deep groove worn in it . I decided to machine the yoke down to 50mm . I can buy a new 50mm pinion seal with a 70mm OD, this is close enough in size to the 2 3/4" original OD of the old seal .

I also had a win on EPAY and scored 4 new tie rod ends and some new front spring bolts and bushes for a cheap price, these are DUFOR brand made in NSW .The CS8 surprisingly has rather small diameter sized front spring pins, same dimensions as the Morris J2 van actually . The tie rod ends also fit a "Hillman Wizard" whatever that is ! and other vehicles from mid 1930's to early 50's including a MG .
