Hi All,
Firstly, let me thank everyone of you for your input and advice, I often
receive several replies - and believe me - YOU ARE HELPING!
Perhaps someone could help me with this one.
On the speedo drive gear thing (that being the bit that one attaches your
speedo cable to, on the side of the Moss box) - I removed and cleaned it
this evening, I have the brass bit - however, mine has a 'female thread' or
to put it another way, it's made to have the speedo cable knurl nut screw
'into' it rather than 'onto' it. Do you follow?
I don't know if it is of importance, but my car left the factory with a much
earlier gearbox than others that were shipped at the same time. So perhaps
there was something different about 1957 or late 56  gearboxes?
Does anyone else have a drive gear housing like this? Let me know.
Another question I just thought I'd ask....I don't suppose anyone converted
their 16" steel wheel Morgan to a 15" wire wheel car - and they happen to
have some part worn 16" tires for sale?
Five new tires at $160 a pop is gonna kill me! Not to mention my budget.

Kind regards,

Jeff
