Re: Lowering blocks
For information at this stage -
I have heard back from Peter Beadle at ARB:
Re Marina Van Axles
7cwt van used a triumph based axle with 2 piece 1/2shafts
with an outer drive flange (with the 4 wheel studs) being held on by a 5/8”unf HT nyloc nut
The Heavy Duty 10cwt van used a derivative of the A60 or B series Banjo Axle
these HD axles had forged solid flanged one piece 1/2 Shafts
I believe the 1” lowering kit for this B series BANJO Axle(Fits MGB Roadster up to 1966) is sold by Moss Europe
Their Part No for the kit is TMG30720 see

The U bolts in the above kit are 7.1/2”long x 2.3/4” centre to centre.(1.1/4” of full thread)
They may be slightly longer than required as they mount a bump stop pedestal &
pass over a 6 leaf spring where as Marinas normally have fewer leaves
The Moss Group has currently 3 sets in stock
1 set each in the following Branches
London,
Bradford,
& Manchester
I have looked on the Moss site, the blocks are £49.96 per pair whilst the U bolts are £9.50.
