[Mg-mmm] PA/NA front cam stand

[BOB GRUNAU]

Hi Sven,
The 42" track front axle I have has "18686" cast into it, so that is a
casting number. The MG part number for the front axle is P234/100, same as
for PA. I don't know what the casting number "18686 "  means, anybody know?
It is not necessarily a J2 axle as I bought a collection of parts, including
a chassis, from Dick Knudson and the axles may not be connected to the
chassis.

The rer axle banjos I have are stamped numbers on the top center, but these
are hard to read and I don't know what the numbers mean.

best regards from Mississauga/Toronto Canada where we have hadf all of about
6 cm snow all winter in total. Still no MG driving as the salt trucks are
out every time it looks like snow.

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.

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.
