John,

 

I am getting a few, but the site isn't nearly so busy now that Norman has finished his restoration and decamped back to Blighty!

OOOPS .... My mistake Roger,  the drag link ball is as you say underneath and not on top. The tapered hole makes it impossible to get wrong anyway.      Tweed.  From: "John Davies johnadavies11@btinternet.com [mg-tabc]" mg-tabc-noreply@yahoogroups.com> [b]To:[/b] Roger Bateman rogerbateman@rocketmail.com> [b]Cc:[/b] "mg-tabc@yahoogroups.com" mg-tabc@yahoogroups.com> [b]Sent:[/b] Thursday, 7 September 2017, 14:23 Subject: Re: [mg-tabc] Drop arms.

  I have an Andy King VW conversion which has a bespoke drop arm, not a modified VW item.  It can only be fitted on the output spindle in one position, and incidentally the drag link ball is underneath and the nut above. Whilst on the subject of VW boxes, I don't think I have ever seen a reference to how to adjust them on MG sites.  I also have a '71 VW Type 2 campervan and so I looked in my workshop manual to see how the box should be adjusted and was surprised to find that it is done with the steering wheel turned 180 degrees from the centre position. The sequence is: 1. Disconnect drag link.2. Find steering centre position.3. Turn steering wheel 180 degrees to either right or left.4. Slacken adjuster lock nut.5. Turn adjuster screw with one hand whilst feeling for play in the drop arm with the other. 6. When all play is removed, tighten lock nut and reassemble drag link.   Forgive me if I have missed it if it is already on this forum, but I &n bsp;thought it worth mentioning. It worked for me!
