Re: Fuel.

@sevendin I’ve just had my Traveller converted to unleaded in the same circumstances as you. What is the fuel stabiliser you use and how much do you put in? Thank you.

It was a piece of hardboard with a folded metal edge on one edge and a finger hole on the other.IMG s1983 mar Large....

Re: Spare wheel aperture board

Thanks everyone! My car doesn’t have the fillets so no board…although, as the wood was replaced some years ago, it may have had the fillets & board originally.

Spare wheel aperture board

My 1959 Traveller doesn't have a spare wheel aperture board, but my partner's 1968 Traveller does have one. Is my board just missing or did the earlier Travellers not have one at all? Thanks for any advice on this.

I hope I am replying to you Keith…not sure how this works yet, but thank you!

Tyre pressures

Hi, I have a 1959 Traveller with radial tyres fitted. They are 145 R14 76S. Any ideas on what the tyre pressure should be? Thank you!
