Were the gearboxes the same until the final column change gearlever car? What year was this changed to a floor change? Quote:
The Rear Parcel Tray is available in market & we can also fabricate it.

Very interesting!
What other repair panels are available? e.g. bottom of door frames, floorpan where it meets the sills, Front cross-member, rear edge of front guard etc.
These parts can be fabricated here in NZ, but it is expensive because each one is custom built, but they do fit perfectly! Quote:
Regarding the Rear Differential it is the same as that of the earlier model Morris Oxford. the Indian Land \masters had the same body of 53-Morris Oxford but the engine(Side valve), gearbox & differential from the Earlier Model(Pre-53). Can you please upload the photos of your Rear Differential?

Hmm! That would explain why the Landmaster/Ambassador brake master cylinder does not include a hydraulic clutch bore too - the MO Oxford did not have this.
There are quite a few differences between the Landmaster and the series II Oxford. I am learning a lot - thank you
I have taken a couple of (not very good) photos - the diff/axle is a BMC "B" series, as used by MGA, Austin Cambridge A50-A60. This is handy as I am going to swap the crownwheel & pinion (4.875:1) for an A60 one (4.3:1) to reduce the engine revs at 'high' speed (60mph). |
