The traveller timber appears not to be covered on MOT tests nowdays and tests are no longer required if MOT exempt....however there is insufficient strength in the chassis for normal road use without the timber frame attached as it forms part of the structure of the vehicle. I would expect to be pro...

Those sleeves are usually a piece of felt folded over and stitched.... not a difficult item to replicate after the moths have nibbled your old ones away

File up a brass plate something like this and screw to the wood under the lock if your timber is damaged...

Hello, I’ve only just realised that if you remove the two wood screws, fixing on the Traveller rear doors locking handle, the whole thing can be rotated to simply open the doors. Not quite correct really :wink: When new/unworn the two tangs cast into the handle and the appropriate slots in the timb...

Yes and the traveller also has additional strengthener channels in the sills not supplied by most parts specialists. Though ESM do one similar for the convertable/tourer.

May just add to the confusion but from what I remember .....correct length bearings being unavailable new some suppliers provide a narrower bearing and a thin spacer to make up the difference? :) Maybe it was this one on ESM .site.....'third motion bearing 3rd Motion Shaft Bearing (22A465) *** TOP Q...

In hindsight I wish I had kept the...

There should be a curve in the chassis rail there see pic... mm rear shackle.jpg Taupe I agree. This was pointed out several posts ago :wink: . Yes the slight cut away..... but not the upward curve of the rail at the rear sadly completely overlooked by most restorers and in the poor available repai...

As the Title

Where on this floor will I find the chassis number stamped..theres nowt on the bulkhead?

The floor reminds me of 'Aliens' with the torsion bar sticking through the floor suddenly
