Thank you guys. The rebuild is progressing, the shelves are gradually being depleted as the ME gets bits bolted to it - hopefully in something like the right place!

Hi
Anyone know the part number/replacement for a speedo cable?

Thanks for that Bryan, although it does leave me a little confused! I presume the early cars had 3/8" (0.375") and the later cars had 5/16" (0.3125"). My chain measures 10.91mm (0.43 or 3/7") with a 0.4% difference when stretched vs compressed, which would suggest little wear. So despite being one of the last cars from Thames Ditton would appear to have an original (116513) chain???
No need to replace it with a 77k mileage?

Hi fellow ME  owners - can anyone confirm if the drive chain is a standard Renold triplex 3/8" flat sided (06B3)? If it is mine has stretched by 12% - is that unusual?
I am looking to replace the chain and can only buy 10ft from Renold whereas I would need only some 66 x 3/8" = 25" . If this is the correct chain is anyone else interested in a replacement?
Furthermore I have been advised with the relatively small sprockets (24 teeth) these should be OK to be reused - the larger the sprocket the more the teeth will become out of sync with the stretched chain, thus the more the sprocket wear. Any views and are sprockets available anyway?

Thank you - will do.

Hi David

Nice to know! Still the same colour and running well?

Hi
I have acquired this vehicle - its my second ME - I have Marks Solidworks CAD and PDFs of drawings for the tub and subframes and would be quite happy to publish them in exchange for any other information that would help me source parts (bushes, engine mounts etc etc) and any other information/drawings that might help with the reassembly of the vehicle.
