Re: Sidelight/indicator earth
I would guess 'B' stands for Body e.g. as stated above, connection to 0V occurs when the lamp is screwed to the Body! Dave H. Guessing? Clearly electrical diagrams are not your forte.... B is for BLACK, the wiring colour for Earth Cables. The highlighted item 55 is the illustration for no cable con...

Replaced m/c, all slaves, flexi pipes, copper pipe across axle. Bled x3, going from furthest from m/c to nearest. Realise now it has a...

Re: How many of you can weld, and how did you learn?

Re: Purolator - how tight?
Thanks for the link however given the current issues I think if I did go for another head I'd try through one of the restorers that sell second hand parts as opposed to risking eBay again. During my restoration (ongoing) of my Traveller, I converted to screw-on type oil filter. This leaves me with ...

Re: Combining Accuspark and Sparkrite.
How magnetic points work and why you can't set-up static timing with them. The object is to provide the correct 'pulse' to give the best 'spark'. So, a static Hall effect sensor will be used along with rotating magnets. The problem here is that the output of the Hall effect sensor will not give the ...

Re: GPO ladder
Maybe a few more details: Length, width, number of steps, distance between steps and material would help.
There a lots of step ladders on sale - whether or not the age and ties to the GPO/PO and Morris cars have an influence or not - ??

Re: Cold start Yes - Hot start No! Asdvice sought please.
Just in case . . . I had a 'similar' issue with a Hillman Imp which turned out to be a loose cork sender gasket in the fuel tank. Started OK ran OK but then would stop for no apparent reason. The cork gasket was being sucked down over the fuel outlet. Vacuum slowly dissipated - gasket floated away a...

Re: 12G202 Head. Beyond salvage?
I've seen similar heads where the 'rust-holes' have been filled e.g. welded, and then skimmed. seems a shame to abandon such a head!

Re: 847 BHN A6 Murder & Heartbeat TV show
Talking about Heartbeat . . . According to the seller, based in Darlington, the gearbox he sold me for £30, came from the Traveller in that very show. It was reported in good condition - now fitted to my traveller, however, it won't be ready to 'move' until later in the year. In the meantime it will...
