Hi

I agree with PSL - the original floor is 1mm (20swg) and chassis sections are generally 1.5mm (16swg)

Better to put in the thicker steel if in any doubt.

Hi Dont forget to consider that If youre making items for sale to the general public (not just for yourself or close friends) you should really have product liability insurance. Otherwise you could be sued for everything you have in the event of an accident attributed or even part attributed to your...

Not in Uk though but shows there still obtainable. They may of course dip the wrong way!!! AUs have been in use since the late 70s!! so a good investment.

If you look carefully on the underside of the knob there is a small hole in the plastic. If you push in a small rod, drill end or electrical screwdriver it pushes in a button and the knob then just pulls off.

Yes an excellent day.

There was a whole parking area full of nothing but travellers

I diddnt know which to look at first

Well

AUs headlamps were duly inspected today at Brooklands and................ Lucas sealed beam halogen units are confirmed as present and correct!!

Thanks for the replies, looks like its original fitment without paint then.

Ive just looked in my parts book and owners manual which came with the car and theyre round ones shown the same.

Hi I have this type of gear knob on my 63 traveller, the spare traveller (62) has the same type, not pear shaped so I assume this is the correct fitment. The lettering is raised, does anyone know if the letters were painted white - I would think not as the paint would just wear off? Mines not as wor...

Hi The dimensions are in the manual page R16 centre of front spring hanger bolt to centre of rear shackle (on chassis) is 43 3/32" this is measured horizontally so the actual centres will be slightly greater - say 43 1/2" as a rough check. The centre of front spring hanger bolt to front of...

Hi Chickenjohn Thanks for your kind comments - these help with motivation and I'm very happy If I've inspired anyone else!!!! Here are the principle sizes of my tilter which was inspired by the NBN Chassis tilter. The NBN tilter is available at around £1000, mine cost me about £150 in all but I had ...

Thanks for that, what is the difference with smaller/larger discs - are the smaller ones easier to get into tight areas and still ok on larger panels eg doors? Are the palm type lighter to handle? Im only looking for final sanding on welds and as you say I can use the grinder for that. My compressor...

Try Woolies trim look for half round sections

You should get this also in hardware stores.

Hi Im thinking of getting an air operated DA sander for my traveller project (Ive got a decent sized compressor). My question is can any one recommend one and should I go for one with smaller or larger discs, stick on or velcro type and is a palm type or hand held type better?. I want to use it for ...

BMC Its a matter of personal choice really. Where possible I like to keep salvageable original parts with the vehicle. I understand your viewpoint. This is simelar to prefering a car with its original registration - dosent affect the working of the car in any way but is part of its heritage and can ...

The parts book says: "The rear Axle Number is stamped on the front of the left hand axle tube adjacent to the spring seat"

The parts book dosent say: - This is usually either missing, completely rusted off or illegible!!!

I made mine to the Moprod sizes and routed as in the diagram M2 in the manual. The length was just right and left plenty of 'slack' for the slight movement at the wheel cylinder end. If you routed the pipe tighter to the axle you could probably loose 3" from the pipe length and still fit it ok.

The rear brake pipes F & G in the diagram are 22" and 32" long overall respectively. The ends are 3/8"BSF assuming you have a standard set up. Ive posted this before but here is the Moprod catalogue for the minor 57-71 models - its all 3/8" bsf ref SPN on the diagram except t...
