Hi,
Trying to conform the vintage of my front axle that I believe is
a series 2a.
Anyone got a decoder/reference sheet for series axles?
The number is 151902933
Thanks

That's a Series 2 1959 109" Petrol axle (Which may have also
been fitted to a diesel originally)

Hi,
I need to get a complete drag link for the axle - do they do a
pre-assembled complete assembly?
cheers

It's all dependent on what system is fitted. Early (pre 61 stuff
is different to 61-63 stuff, which differs from 63-69/70 stuff,
etc etc etc. Until you know exactly what system you are using,
you cannot realistically nip out and buy one. There are 6
different types of track rod end, at least, different types of
thread in the bars, different steering arms and indeed mounting
positions. These ARE interchangeable, but in most cases as
sub-assemblies, but whilst fitting in the hole, are not always
compatible for driveability reasons. Post some pics up of your
drop arm, steering arms, top pin set up, and what have you... it
might help us to see what you have there. What age is your
vehicle?

Many thanks gents - if only it was road worthy!! 16 months in
and a front drag link would allow me to move it under its own
power for the first time in many many years.
Only a short list left now;
Service and bleed brakes
Find and fit an interior
Buy and fit rear lights
Buy and fit windscreen wipers
Fit door seals (after getting the truck cab to roughly line up)
Buy and have welded a battery tray on legs
Find, buy and install an air filter that fits under the S1
bonnet and on top of the Zenith carb installed to the 2.25
engine
Buy and fit a full wiring loom (Ouch £280ish)
I need a lie down (and a substantial injection of cash)
Toby
Please contact me if you have any of the parts required above
that are muchos cheapness! dogwalk

I always thought the steering arms were attached to the bottom
of the swivel housing, you learn something new every day :-?
I have a <66 2a front axle I'm breaking for bits, if the arms
are any good to ya? couple of beers in value :rolleye0012:
but looking at your shiny bits you may be wanting new to finish
off an excellent job :thumbs:
