Re: Aluminium radiator
I have have now fitted the radiator, the only problem was the threads for the mounting bolts were slightly more recessed than on the original so I had to replace the bolts with 4 longer ones. I also replaced the thermostat and water pump, mainly because I do not know how long these parts have been i...

Stainless exhaust
After just under 4 years of restoration I now have my traveller back on the road and TÜV tested (German MOT) and I am loving driving around, a moggy ,although seldom, is still a part of the English landscape. But here in Germany it is such an exotic car and doubly so that the steering is on the righ...
