I still have the vehicle but the parts were excess to requirements.

TD5 ?

I still have engine mounts and tie rod ends for a Kingswood in my garage - I haven't owned one for nearly 25 years...

There part no is R536273 & according to Craddocks web site they fit a 2.6 & are .020 oversize

They aren't the same as a series 1, 2 litre by any chance?

Oh, and I'm glad I found a home for the set of .040 over ones you had.

No the 2.6 pistons wont fit a 2lit.

Here are some more boxes of parts that I have . These are all new parts & too good to dump.

I have a box of Mini , Morris 1100, Austin 1800 & Austin Tasman parts here which includes engine mounts, bearings ,Lentz's & work shop manuals. I was given the other day to find a good home for.
I just have to find some one who needs them & wont just sell them on. I am also sick of IDOTS on EBay & Gumtree I would rather give away parts to some body that really needs them than sell them cheep to somebody who is only going to sell them on.

Ah, Tasman and Kimberley, I haven't seen either for yonks.
