Bendix spring compressor

Started making it, but I find that I don't have a complete Bendix assembly to look at, in particular, I don't have the fat washer which goes on after the spring and has a groove for the circlip.  I need the O/D of that washer, if anyone has one to hand and can measure it.  I recall it being slightly smaller than the spring, so the plate which is

I haven't got one to hand immediately, but I'll ask Geoff tonight when he gets home.

I'm going to Rushden rally over the weekend, probably tomorrow - are there any Minor bits that you're looking for?

not sure yet, it's being pre-mot-ed.

one thing it will likely need is the outer sill panels, that long thin bit under the doors. It shouldn't be an MOT fail, but it's had seat belts fitted and might come under the "within 12" rule. Mind, I told the garage chap that if that were the case I could remove the belts, being 1958 it doesn't have to have them fitted :-)

further thought: if you chance across any trafficator parts in proper order, they'd come in handy. The orange bits are not in that good nick and neither of them actually stay put without insulting tape. I think the shiny bits are OK.

I can get new orange bits, though I forget how much - be worth a check on prices for new ones, I guess, to avoid paying over the odds.

OK; I'll keep a lookout for outer sill panels and trafficator parts. If I find any, I'll give you a ring from the site - not sure I've got your current mobile number so perhaps you could drop me an email.

Let's make sure I've got the car details right - 1958 1000 saloon, 4-door?
