Rimmers have .....

Part No.: 521007
USE BAU5199U

Which is a part number I don't recognise. They also don't say how many they have in stock.
It may provide some more avenues for exploration though.

Good Luck,
Tony.

I understand the 1/2 and the "|" marks are called "balance marks "
Yes, you are quite right the flywheel on the 1850 manual box can go round in 2 ways. The correct way round is when the 1/4 mark at the front of the crankshaft is aligned with the grating on the timing cover ( pot 1 piston is at TDC ...

I found this on my hard disk....

There was a thread on this going back to 2017.
Here is the link...

The photos have disappeared but Mad Mart on here should be able to help.

Good luck,
Tony.

Hi Ralph, The answer to your question may be in the early 1850 manual (sheet 2, 51.10.01 ) which is the only reference I have, being an 1850 merchant !

Now the 1300 / 1500 / 1850 rear axle casings are identical the only difference being the diff; gears and crown wheel.
The 1/2 shafts and bearings ...

Hi Oli, I may be able to help with this. I imagine you are in the same boat as I was acouple of years back with screens on l-o-n-g delivery.
P.M. to follow,
Tony.

Hi Terry, I don't think its possible to get the connections to the steering joint the wrong way round.
Here is a piccy of the joints fitted to my 1850.
Yes the lower joint nut is quite close to the chassis metalwork. In my case I reckon its about 1/4in clearance from the the nearest bit.

HTH,
Tony.

Hi Both, Thank you very much for your thoughts. Yes, Steve is quite right in that the car did spend the first few years of its life running around the Gaydon test track with a CVT unit installed. The documentation is a bit vague on the carburation but it may well have had a fuel injection system ...

Steve is quite right in that the 4-fuse box was never fitted as standard to any Dolomite.
However I do have one on my MGB.
If yours is the same, the 4-fuse box is part no 37H4727 and the cover is item 32 which is 37H4727A.

It may be a question of ringing around the MGB suppliers and seeing what ...

Hi All, I'm fitting a new fuel tank unit and just now I saw this extra pipe union from the filler neck to the petrol tank. Its been nicely brazed in and has a length of copper pipe and then a length of green polythene pipe wich was been doubled back on itself and sealed so it no longer goes anywhere ...

Hi Paul, The one I have that fits my 1850 is an aftermarket one; like these ...

There are many of them and at £7 you can't go far wrong.It's not a Churchill tool and you don't really need one for this application ...

Hi Paul, I have one of these as used on an early 1850.
It is marked " TR1 07 MG " .
It has 10 splines dia 22mm
then 17 mm dia x 12mm long
and then 12mm dia x 33mm long.
Any use ?
Cheers for now,
Tony.

Thanks Tony, very helpful. Seats are no issue (I've got a new set to put in anyway and I wouldn't mind giving the carpets a good clean) but how easy is it to drop the rear of the subframe? Is it easier just to remove the engine and 'box together from above or do I still need to drop the subframe ...

Hi Liessur, The big problem with all the 1850 clutches is the fork. 132080; It cracks on the pivot points and right now is NLA. But it is compatable with the GT6 / Vitesse / Herald so there are forks available on E-Bay.
Yes there are 2 variants of spigot bearing available. A phosphor broze one and a ...

My first thoughts would be a problem with the IGN ON fuse.This is the one with the white cables on one side and the green cables on the other. You would have probably found that the brake lights, the heated rear window and the wipers, the reversing lights, and the indicators were all dead as well ...
