    The area marked with the arrow is where the wear takes place .. There won't be any more play in the bearing because you can adjust that out . Take a look at where the disc is running in the calliper it should be central , but if the spider is worn ( not the stub axle ) the disc will be running to one side . EG towards the spider .

    The spider wears where the inner bearing in the hub sits ... It wears a groove so slowly the disc moves further to the spider ... Bad ones mean you can't get a new pad into the calliper on that side .

    Sounds to me that your stub axle spider is worn out ... That's normally the problem when you can't get a new pad in on the rear face .

    Use on of the latest quality rocker shafts ... Tuftrided , available from myself and maybe others .

    It's brand new ... New old stock . Be aware there's 2 different servos on Mk1 2000's .. What year is yours ?
  8. DJB_Harvey
    I've got one ...

    Small studs are 5/16 UNF ...
  10. DJB_Harvey
    Also be aware that different weight diaphragm retaining rings were used ... Some light , some heavy ... Theses were originally matched to the needles / cam Etc

    Laurence ... Check out Bresco fastener supplies they may have the studs .

    And to note I do have plenty of Nos early discs ... It's Mk2 discs that are scarce .

    If you have the original .350" disc set up you need to change the hubs to late Mk1/2/Stag hubs ... Plenty around . Also you need the correct bolts to secure the disc to the hub depending on which set up / disc you use I'd go for the Stag set up for your car .

    As M says .. Something's not right there either the bearing or the oil seal .

    MC engine number

    DJB_Harvey replied to JimEB's topic in Engine

    All the Mk1 engines have a long back crank ... 3 different cranks in Mk1 2 Litre Saloon engines .. Early type with scroll / cast iron rear housing ... Later crank had alloy housing with conventional seal ( as Mk2) ... Very late Mk1 cranks inc MC used Mk2 bearing sizes . Also to note that up to '66 Mk1 blocks used the smaller cam follower .687" .. All later ( inc Mk2) had the .800" follower .

    MC engine number

    DJB_Harvey replied to JimEB's topic in Engine

    Myself and john have often talked about this in the past ... Sometimes a heated discussion :) The very last Mk1 engines were MC stamped .. They used the same cam / head as the earlier engine and also Mk2 crank bearing sizes ( which was used on all post '67 engines anyway . I personally can't agree there any smoother or more torquey than the earlier pre '67 engines ... In fact I'd always go for the earlier engine because it revs better and has the much lighter crank . That's my view and I'm sticking with it ! :)

  20. DJB_Harvey

    oil stop leak?

    DJB_Harvey replied to josh18's topic in Engine

    Snake oil ??
  22. DJB_Harvey
    You can try and put some sort of grease on the carrier / nose with a tye wrap with a bit on the end and poke it through the vent slots on the bell housing ... Tricky but can be done

    I wouldn't say there's anything wrong with the standard brake set up in good condition with decent pads ( Mintex 1144's spring to mind ) However with repeated high loadings they will fade .. I've practically had mine on fire in the past ! So over the years I've had Stag / Volvo / Wilwoods  and finally now I'm running AP Racing calipers with Ferodo pads with matching AP discs ... An expensive option but all brake issues now are in the past :)

    Yes the open breather engines had the "Wide" small bearing crank which is lighter . Early cranks had the scroll on the rear later a conventional seal . Note though that export cars had a closed breather system even with the early crank . 3 different early crank blocks Early with .687" follower Late up to '66 ish with .800" follower And some blocks with the early crank have the square cast on the side which can fool you into thinking its a late engine . Best block to use is the one with .800" followers Early wide bearing cranks used up to MB60000 ish 1967. As usual .. More variations and oddities too many to mention here ! But to note early bearing shells are scarce
