Great booty Mike!
So the M-C tally now stands at what number? Seems you have enough bits for a complete one? H.

PS as we were unloading the Morris , the ex Wermacht veteran from down the road drove past in his Tojo ute .. a strange thing . A coming together of history , in an odd way .

morris
Have done a few checks... I inspected the gearbox just in time ..it was full of water
 ... water trickles down the gear stick . I've seen this problem before on open cab vehicles and I always check it out . I have washed it out with deisel fuel ... looks OK , shiny gears with no obvious damage . It turns over freely and gear shifting is easy . The engine pulley turns a tad , the pistons are not stuck . The slack in the timing chain is taken up, then it jams, indicating stuck valves . These engines have the valve lifters in bolt on little blocks which are removeable . Somewhat like many vintage cars of the 1920's . The unusual rubber cushioned uni joints look a bit sick . Perished . Steering box was full of water as well . The drag link has sheared off, broken at the point where it threads into the ball joint end on the steering arm, at the wheel . Nasty .The drag link is hollow and it's rather thin at the threading , deep threads have left little meat there  Could be dangerous for other CS8 owners .......maybe a safety bulletin should be spread around ...MIKE

These pics illustrate the potentially lethal problem . What happened to good old British engineering
