[Mg-mmm] PA/NA front cam stand

I think you will find the numbers are casting numbers or part numbers as per
the relevant parts lists. The only numbers that were given are those on the
dispatch card, dynamo, gearbox, engine and chassis and body colour if I
remember correctly. Not sure about starter.

Also a memento about parts numbers. MMM times these were kept differently
than later.
These were very much correct at MMM times, a legacy of Morris and his
introduction of mass production in Europe in the 20s. A close study of some
parts manuals will teach you a lot as you no doubt already know.

Dmne: Re: [Mg-mmm] PA/NA front cam stand

Thanks Clive,
I am aware of that and would prefer to get the pair. So let me revise my
request for a pair, top and bottom, front cam stand for a PA/NA engine.

If I can find a bottom only, I expect to have to "fettle" the bore by
possibly changing the dowel pins and then line honing/boring all caps in
line.
Right now I have no bottom, so something to work with would help.

Now if you have a matching bottom and top surplus to your needs.  so much
the better.

I have on several occasions had to fit mis-match main bearing crank caps on
XPAG engines, no big deal, you get it as close as you can by filing one side
of the joint, then possibly brazing on  the other side to make up the
difference. then line bore. Works OK, just a nuisance.


NEW QUESTION:
Can someone please advise if all or any major parts of the MMM cars are
numbered to match the chassis?  I have found numbers on top of several rear
axle casings,  but these numbers do not seem to relate to the car.
Is the radiator numbered?
Radiator shell numbered?

The original bonnet hinge is obviously chassis numbered with the colour
coding. ,

Thanks to all that responded.

Try and get the matched pair,  two random halves often dont fit.
