Re: replacing traveller sills

Yes just bend it to fit the inner sill or buy a second step sill panel then cut it down and weld it in. The original pressed reinforcements are not available but there are reasonable replacements available which are curved ....though I had to import mine from Nordsk Morris minors prior to Brexit. Th...

It looks like the Auto Union mark but those rings interlock and I doubt they made Imperial parts. IMG_9354.jpeg Normally it signifies UNF thread...a p...

Re: fitting wing to new timber

Is that on a traveller?

Are you using the original nut inserts and 1/4"BSF bolts and washers to fit the wing or modern self tap rubber cup screws?

Have you fitted the extruded plastic trim first?

Re: Wiper Motor plastic guide

Thanks for the pics

It is the part I thought you meant...I plan to make one or two as spares for my wiper either in Acetal or Delrin over the winter...should be relatively simple to machine up on the lathe...If I end up with any spares I will let you know.. :)

Re: Clutch Pedal Squeak

The sealing pad is the same as that listed by ESM

Yes just dribble some light oil and wiggle the shaft.

(If you are able to I would strip the whole lot down, clean inspect and grease it including the brake pedal bushes.)
