Fair enough re forgetting my name - as you'll have guessed, it was me, As for "polite PM first" - nope, not that I know of. Generally a PM afterwards if it's something (like this) that NEEDS to be removed, but I chose to leave the explanation in situ. Why wouuld your second post be edited? No danger...

They're tough old bolts, since they take the full suspension forces of the car. I say again though, I've never been lucky with drilling them out/saving the plate for tapping, but you may be luckier that me. I'd also be seriously consdering paying a pro to weld in the cross member repair as well (ful...

Oh damn.I've never had any luck with that problem, I'm afraid. I've tried the easy outs in the past, but without luck. I meant to say earlier that you should be V careful using heat on them, as the bolts are long and the heat will be heating up the oil in the damper. The plate is sort of get at-able...

"no servo - compare like with like" Of the two of us, I'd say that I'm the only one who has, just as I'm the only one of us who has fitted them, "difficult" M/C valve and all. Surely efficiency would take into account the heat build up and ability to work reliably for longer than the drums, let alon...

Re: Alternative Traveller springs?
One idea was to go for pick up/van springs, could these be adapted to fit? What is the difference in mounting to the chassis? Mounting @ the front completely different. 'Eye' in spring different size, mounted to a steel rod projecting from chassis. Ray assures me it's possible - I wouldn't. The van...

Conversely - has anyone built a trav on a chassis? Effectively the same conversion only backwards. I recon that would be a good stiff car with none of this uni-body/monocoque nonsense to worry about. You'd run into various probs at the front, where the Trav body 'steps' and the chassis is straight....

the flywheel from the outgoing 1098 engine will need to be slightly modified for use with the 1275 crank. Not strictly true - will need redrilling to a different bolt pattern and (AFFAI can see) a new centre for the g box input shaft inserted, along with appropriate bush/bearing. All available read...
