 Posted: Fri Jan 15, 2010 10:18 pm Post subject: Standard Ten Question. |
 |
|
Does anyone know if Standard 10's have a front subframe? The reason I ask is because my dad is looking at a 1956 Standard Ten on Ebay, which among the MoT failure points lists 'nearside front sub frame bracket insecure'.
I didn't know they had subframes, or is it a mistake by the garage/seller?
Thanks
Richard.

There is a large cross member that all the suspension mounts onto. But I would not call it a sub-frame. A sub-frame to me suggests that engine/steering/suspension all attach to it, which is not the case.

Hi Richard,
I think it's just terminology. You are right. It doesn't have a subframe however it does have a detachable crossmember that carries the front suspension, engine mounts etc.
Peter
p.s. I think of a frame as something with a hole in the middle that accommodates some other entity, an engine perhaps.

He does have a very good taste in cars in my opinion. Current fleet is a 1937 Austin Seven Ruby (up for sale) 1963 Vauxhall Victor FB and a 1967 Morris Minor. Maybe I should start a thread on them, or at least take some pictures.....

Just been out in the Standard, a great little runabout. I saw a blue Ten saloon on ebay yesterday, is that the one he'd seen?
