Re: White Wall Tyres
Yeah I know, preferably I'm looking for actual white wall tyres... which will probably be quite difficult in this day and agepalacebear wrote: ↑Sun Jul 28, 2019 9:41 pm The things being referred to are rubbish. Aside from looking cheap, they get wrinkly if the tyres are unintentionally run under-inflated.

Re: White Wall Tyres
Yeah I've heard about these, I wouldn't really trust them, thanks for the info thoughalanworland wrote: ↑Sun Jul 28, 2019 8:41 pm Not recommending them but I have seen 'white washers' (not sure what they are called) that are trapped between the wheel and the tyre in effect forming a white walled tyre.

Re: E-type style Dashboard metal ?
The first mod I did to my 1959 Minor was fit a Moto-Lita wood rim and it cost me £12.50. The one in the link shows a flat steering wheel - the wheel I fitted was slightly dished and I did need the dish. Ensure that there is enough clearance around the wheel with the flat wheel. Made just down the r...

Re: Limeflower
So two points already raised: If it's a keeper have whatever colour you want. If you have an eye on selling one day, another colour might help the sale. Another point, if you are painting because it needs a respray, painting the same colour can be cheaper because you might not have to paint the ins...

Re: E-type style Dashboard metal ?
Looks like that one has a more up to date steering column as well. I cannot help with the supplier of that material but here is a photo of my Traveller dashboard.. I made it from plain aluminium sheet and then lacquered it. http://lister-engine.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10026/Morris_Dashboard_...

Re: Morris Minor
Good for you! I know exactly how you feel! Just out of curiosity, and without being rude, are you at an age where you remember the Morris Minor on the road, or are you a late convert? My own situation is I remember Morris's when they were every-day transport for many. Happy Minoring! Hi I'm 61 year...

E-type style Dashboard metal ?
Hi all, Warning: this description is going to be really vague. I'm thinking about doing some custom upgrades on my new Traveller when it comes, I know I'm going to fit an E-type style Moto-Lita steering wheel but I need to know what the metal was on the E-type dashboard? And where to find some, I sh...
