I'm slowly
assembling a tool kit for #174 and I have a question.
The tools supplement of
the guidelines includes the following note.
"Because the earlier dust cap's
BSF stud threads were changed to UNF by
December, 1953, this tool only was
made with UNF threads, and will not work
on earlier 100s "
Although both the
dust caps on #174 were UNF thread and appeared to be
undisturbed I was quite
happy to accept this until I found, upon reading
through the handbook for my
car Publication Number 996, dated September
1953, on page 53 the following:
"*Front Road Wheel Hubs*: Unscrew the knock-on hub capB  and, using the
extractor provided, withdraw the grease cap from within the hub."
Well
September 1953 is a good long time before December 1953.
I have also checked
the parts book and found that there is only one number
for the dust cap,
1B4316, and that is applicable to all cars and one number
for the extractor
tool, 1B4339, also applicable to all cars.
I do note that there is an Austin
Service Journal Reference associated with
the extractor (24 Tools Pg2).
Does
anyone out there have a copy of this edition of the Austin Journal
which may
shed light on this anomaly?
Many thanks,
