Period Decamber Mods shim up stub axle

[Petowner]

Woken up now , maybe l should look at what's on the car as they haven't been refurbished

[Petowner]

I've looked at so many pictures of stub axles now ,and l'm still no nearer deciding if l'm right, problem with being mirror image to each other , all too easy to rebuild wrong way round , need to have better pic's of correct assembly , but hard to find anything , have looked in book at what you put up but still failing to see it.

Stub axle carrier drawing in 1st post , is that near side or off side , just wondering if l might have made the easy mistake of putting them together wrong way round as they are left and right handed, looking at side of car is the 10 degrees backwards or forwards (is wheel nearer front of car or canted backwards) .
Silly mistake l know but need to clarify as l stripped both sets down together .

I am sure some folks are still not sure what to make of what has been created here, nor its potential.

At least there is enough to read between The imp Club Forum , Hillman imp Org and The Hillman imp Group on Facebook all together

As the site here is free to read, no login needed folks only need to register to post or hit the like button. No mad rush was expected.

Saying that the page impressions and unique visitor statistics are some of the best i have ever seen. The potential I see already (and the pages placement in the universe) makes me a little nervous as it might either teeter on the cusp or take off.

One can build it but cannot force the horses to drink, they ahe to want to participate and to do that there has to be some fun or gain in it for them.

I will continue to experiment with the formula, will see if we can get a big bang.

The post here and share to facebook makes a big difference when its done with an image.

For the winter months this has been as much fun for me as working on the cars

Good point Bob. If there was a taper I did not notice.


One from some literature showing the original Rootes part nymber from the washer and the other Peters own work keeping note of dimensions

You may say that's being finicky . But if it all pivots on horizontal through bolts, then you do change what at the moment is a square face to the wishbone clamping , effectively you would need to shape bottom of carrier with an angle and insert spacer\washer above with same taper, l know we are only talking small amounts , but if it's worth doing

I have asked peter if he has such a thing

[John A. Ross]

Bob, no they are flat with a lip, like a hat, just enough so it does not slip when it is sent into the isnide of the bone, you could do the opposite and machin a little recess

I had read about it on forum years ago , it's a mod well within my capabilities ,probably best to get the car up and running first . I thought that the spacer washers were tapered (from memory) not so easy
Thanks
