Photo Request - Upturned Chassis

[Lance Sheldrick]

It's interesting to see how oil leaks have tried to preserve the front half!

Is this why Austin’s have lasted and Morris havnt?

I will try and post some photos of an ARQ chassis.  
If this works I will try and reduce some more images but I am on my wife's laptop running programs I am unfamiliar with. Bruce

These show my spring removal device. First attempt was with a small "PortaPower" ram but didn't work.  A sledge hammer and long bar on this jig worked.
I have other photos of under the chassis but are too large to post but will post if I can reduce them.  Bruce

That is a good idea, thanks for sharing.

                                I got sorted with reducing photos so here is what I have.
This chassis has a number and the car has a pair of number plates.  The body is very poor but the chassis seems to very much as it may have been from the factory.  It was very educational seeing all the double tab lock washers on the chassis. Chassis loose them over the years. The other three chassis only had one between them.
This chassis has two cracks each side rear and some photos were taken only for that reason.

There is a limit of eight photos per post so here are some more.
Digital cameras are so useful I take mine down to the workshop every day. 
They some times last only a couple of years.

I think it was Ken Cooke whose preferred method removing recalcitrant rear springs was to remove the fixing bolt, and then go for a fifty mile run round the houses...
