Subject: Re: What Is The Purpose Of This On The My M45?
Hi Folks, here is my explanation.
The M45 is based on the 'ZM' chassis which was developed for the 3 Litre "Selector Special". This was fitted with the Maybach gearbox. This gearbox had a three point mounting consisting of two forks at the front and the stud in question at the rear. The "Selector Special" was a commercial failure and most 3 Litres have the 'Z' gearbox instead. This required a new subframe which uses this stud as the rear fixing.
For the M45 the Z gearbox was replaced by the Meadows 'T8' unit which has different rear support arrangements which render the stud redundant.
If anyone has any more to add or disagrees with this explanation, feel free to add something to this debate.
Cheers
