303monkey Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Hello there I'm not sure whether I introduced myself when I joined last July, so I case I didn't here goes it. I've had an interest in Military vehicles since the early 90's I've had my Morris Commercial MRA1 since 1996. It's been an ongoing project since then with it parked up doing now't for 99.9% of that time. I'm back on the case again. There are a few things I need to do though. I have a Leyland 6/98 fitted to the original crash gearbox though I'm considering fitting the 5 speed Turner Spicer gearbox and maybe fitting different Diff's to both front and rear axles.

cosrec Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) hi welcome to the forum you will get a lot of advice here. quick question why you thinking of fitting different diffs??

brinv8 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Hello and welcome, I had a MRA1 back in the late 1970's. Terrific motor, never missed a beat, started every time. It was a sad day when I sold it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Is that Brian? Am pulling a perkins 6354 out of a dodge to go in a morris MRA1. It has a 4 speed box and I am looking for a spare morris box.... Perhaps we could exchange?
