Hi Tim On the early Rootes products the speedo drive gear can be easily removed, it is retained by two small bolts and just slides out, changing the other gear on the gearbox output shaft requires a

Asked this question on the Hillman list. It appears that the series 5/6 Minx front uprights have the axle 5/8" higher than the Alpine part. This equals 5/8" lower ride with same springs used. I would
