Re: Traveller rear inertia seat belts

I'm part way through restoring my 1968 Traveller and am intending to fit new rear seat belts. At the moment I'm replacing the long, triangular N/S wheel-arch panel and was about to weld on a new mounting plate on the underside. When I started measuring up the off side to determine the location for t...

Metal gauges used in Minors

When I posted last month to ask about nut and bolts used on Minors I was directed to some very useful lists in the Mechanical section.

Re: Nuts and Bolts

Thanks Taupe, Islipminor, H Davy and Bigginger

That's exactly what I was after. It also explains why my 7/8"AF spanner was such a sloppy fit on my bumper nuts.

Colin

Re: Registration and Tax question

Thank you for all the advice, gents, you have been very helpful and reassuring. I'll be able to set the ball rolling in a more relaxed frame of mind. I'll give the online approach a try first, seeing as I have the buff log books it would be good to keep hold of the blue V5 if I can. Andy, there's no...

Registration and Tax question

Hi - My very first post! My Traveller has been off the road since 1995. With the arrival of retirement, thoughts are finally turning to returning it to the road and I have two questions. Prompted by another thread, I am slightly concerned that, when I try to tax (SORN) it and register a change of ow...
