Hi Ross, Can't answer the question directly, as I imagine your Oz pump will differ from our Churchill one. What will be worth doing is following THIS LINK to Tony Cripps newsletters. They're a great read in their own right, but three of them detail the construction of a hydrolastic pump from first principles, complete with how to make all valves and diaphragms. Hopefully you can work it out from there. Chris.

Hi Tandem,
Hate to say it, but there isn't one. The end of the manifold is a ball, and the end of the pipe is a cup and the two are supposed to fit together closely with the four part clamp. The steady bracket on the side of the gearbox is crucial to prevent the joint flexing.
It really doesn't work very well and I always finish up slathering the joint with assembly paste before applying the clamp.
Chris.

Hi Sidd, welcome.
Standard MkI tyre is 13/165/80 and gives 842/tpm. Standard MkII tyre is 14/165/80 and gives 828/tpm.
Apparently an Ambassador 1.7 automatic diff will yield a higher gear ratio. Problem is to find one.
Chris.

Well done, Ben. In many ways a sensible modern solution to the problem. I might have gone back to a nice Lucas C40 positive earth dynamo instead...... Chris.

Hi Guy, welcome aboard. Looks like a good project and a worthy ambition. Colours.... I'm (infamously) not your man. However: WildMossMaxi by Penguin 45, on Flickr Wild Moss Maxi. Not sure if it was supplied by the time the MkIII came out. MoDanubeBlue by Penguin 45, on Flickr Mo in Danube Blue. Chris.

Right - see what you're getting at. As far as I can tell, engine parts are quite easily available over here. Plenty of E engine cars still running about. It'll have three pot calipers, although you may have PBR instead of Girling hydraulics throughout. Due to the very low numbers you may be looking at bespoke repair for stuff like radiators. Core plugs are core plugs measure the hole, buy new ones.
I gather the Kimberley is a rare car down there - it certainly doesn't exist up here - so got to be worth a proper look at least.
Chris.

E6 engine, Paddy. Should be the same. Based on the 1500cc E4 engine used in the Maxi and Allegro. Just be careful to avoid components for the 2.6 used in the Oz Marina and P76 as that was based on the 1750cc E4 engine. Not much will interchange.
If you've found a Morris 2200 it's an incredibley rare car now - pics!
Chris.
