I think Sherpa was referring to Kilroy's photos on the first page of this thread, showing the differences between the 1700 and 2000 cranks and pistons.

Hi Gordon, what happened to Ken Roy (Kilroy)? That's the sort of thing he would be able to do for you, but I haven't seen him post in a while (Last active: Sat Mar 18, 2023 8:41 pm).

'LHD' fitment seems to have been standard on most BL vehicles, certainly seems to have been the case for all Triumphs, the Minor and the MGB.

Can confirm the Aussie cars suffered from wipers lifting, fitted the clip-on airfoils that were a thing in the 80s, did help a bit, but not perfect.

I thought there were only two wiper arms for Marinas, "sided" to either sweep to the left or right windscreen pillar? Iirc early English cars had "sweep to the right", until BL discovered the wipers lifted at motorway speeds and they swapped to "sweep to the left". So, to get the early wipers, you ...

Interesting. In Australia and NZ the standard tyre was 155 x 13 on the fours and 165 x 13 on the six. In NZ they would have been a locally made version of the Dunlop Aquajet or Firestone Cavallino. Not cheap today!

Wow, only Australia making that tubing? Nice to know they survived the loss of their car manufacturing industry.

I wonder if you could use one of the Mini adjustable tie rod kits?

Kelvin has detailed photos of how he did it in his Full circle into a Marina again. My 73 Morris Marina Coupe thread.

Lucas catalogue says DLB101 non-ballasted for all Marinas, or DLB105 Sports coil. MGBs use the same coil, and Bosch GT40 seems to be fine on them.
