The Moke's "piston" tubes are welded too, but the adjustment screw/bolt is easily removed through the back-plate (ie. towards the inside of the car). It can't be removed through the front. Are you s

The Moke's speedo cable "bounces" too - most noticeably at around 100 kph (max. speed in Victoria, but not the Moke's top :-) I had to replace the cable soon after I bought it, and had to use a long

I want one! The only problem is, the gearbox is worth almost as much as the Moke :-( How easy is it to change final drive units (I want lower revs at 100 kph)? Is it worth the effort? +--+ +--+

What are the major differences between A+ and A series engines? I've been told that my 1275cc Moke engine is an A+ engine, but how can you tell? Are most parts interchangable with A series (1275cc) e

I believe that if you are going to buy sockets, buy VERY good quality ones (eg. Sidchrome, or equivalent). Lesser sockets or ratchets are likely to break or "burst". Spanners, on the otherhand, are u

Thanks for all the replies - I'll have to get some to keep in my Moke's side-box The steel-wire sounds great (I've got a short length of thin wire, just in case) especially for MOA bush trips.... BFN

A little while ago, there was some ads for a set of spanners (about 8 or 9) which are supposed to fit metric, imperial, whitworths etc. making an equivalent set of 20+ spanners. They grip the corners

Could be. Last triple SU models were made in March 1962 (started April 1961). Chassis numbers for the series are 13751 to 19853. Your Healey is one of only(?) 5095 MkII BT7s made. +--+ +--+

In case you don't know what a Moke is (I've had several messages so far), I'll try to describe it. The Moke is a derivative of the ordinary Austin/Morris/BMC/Leyland Mini and uses the same mechanical

Yes, the US Army (and some of the Australian Military - airforce, I think) bought some Mokes, but not in very large amounts (mainly because of it wasn't 4WD and is limited in its carrying capacity).
