Re: Progress
No problem with spares availability as there a numerous specialist and plenty to choose from on ebay. Interior trim is rare for the Mk1, luckily this is fine.

Re: Progress
When I got my traveller back on the road after the restoration I was amazed as there wasn't so much as a rattle or squeak. Eighteen months later it's loosened up nicely and a few of the old noises are back :D I've got a new (to me) car coming next week to replace the Mini I sold a while back. Legend...

Re: What oil filter
But not the later MPI filters as the tread is different.

Re: Fuel.
I've mildly modified my engine giving it enough extra umph to pull a 3.7 diff. The longer legs have dulled the performance down but the higher gearing means more relaxed cruising and just about the same economy figures. I have modified my '71 Commer PB camper by fitting a Sunbeam Rapier engine with ...

Re: What is this called and what does it do?
Heater blanking plates maybe or the round one could be a rotor-dip hole blanking plate

Re: What is this called and what does it do?
I think they are called anti-drum door brackets and I was wrong that they touch the outer skin. I found this post about the same item that explains things better.

Re: What is this called and what does it do?
It fits between the inner and outer skins, the rubber buffer against the outer, to to prevent the panels 'drumming'

I did exactly that, trimmed around the top screw and the knob removed.

Re: Door hinge pillar
Hi Shane. I got mine from AME353 (Morris Minor Centre) on ebay a few years ago, I can't see them listed just now but it might be worth giving then a call.

Re: Spotted today.
On Saturday I went to a coffee and cars at the Frost Restorations warehouse near Culcheth ( a dangerously expensive place to wander around 8) ) where I spotted this traveller among the other cars https://i.imgur.com/Yv2inS5.jpg I was in the Mini https://i.imgur.com/APfI32d.jpg It's first outing sinc...

Re: Can you still get cellulose paint?
There might be a branch of Autopaints International near you. I've had no trouble getting it from them plus I have a body shop supplier nearby who will also mix and sell cellulose. The only time I've been queried is when I got Flame red for my '91 Mini Cooper but apparently the colour was used on Le...

Re: Painting Dashboard
These are excellent for stripping paint and they don't damage the metal

These are the ones I got but seem to be out of stock but there's plenty of the same on there

Re: Rear View Mirror. Replacements that fit
This one was originally on my '91 Cooper before I fitted the dipping type to it. As the Minor one was looking a bit rough I fitted this in its place. Even though only the top hole lines up it sits nice and snuggly and the cover clips over to hide the open holes.

Re: Rear View Mirror. Replacements that fit
I used a Mini mirror. Only one fixing the holes lines up but it's secure and doesn't vibrate. Not original looking but it's from the same stable and you can get a dipping version for when those huge SUV's dazzle you with their night suns. https://i.imgur.com/8N9FAQ4.jpg Sorry about the reflections h...

Re: Help needed to identify brake part
Looks very similar to the anti run on valve on a late Mini, usually attached to the brake servo bracket.
It can just be seen in this picture of my Cooper close to the bulkhead with a black plastic pipe attached, bad image though as it's a bit dark

If they are the same as those on a traveller then I used 3/16" BSF countersunk set screws on mine.

Re: Traveller handbrake cable
Here's where it is on mine. This floor panel was replaced but the position was copied over from the original panel on the drivers side.
