Hello Colleagues, By "roof lining" material, I mean the "backing boards" that the visible surface material is attached to. When I got my 1950 low-light saloon, it was devoid of any roof lining. I opportunely bought 2 sets of used roof lining boards, both of which are a thin plywo...

Nice Traveller. Good to know that you will be reverting Grille and Wheels to "body colour". When I bought mine, in 2013, it too came with a 1098 engine and gearbox, but the diff hadn't been changed - meant that the Speedo was showing about 20 MPH over what it was actually doing. Don't put ...

Which engine is that?

George.

Moss Europe do adapter parts and "hoses" (plastic), but they do state 1/8" NTPF - this reminds me that the 1/8" thread comes in "tapered" and "parallel" versions, like in Compressed Air fittings. https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?search_group...

Stanmo, sorry about the delay in responding, but I don't get ANY notifications at all now from posts. I have a feeling that I obtained my pipe and joints from either Bullmotiff (now subsumed into ESM) or from Charles Ware. The Charles Ware website link, for oil pressure pipes is below https://www.mo...

Hello, I've fitted these sorts of gauges to my Traveller, which had a 1098 engine fitted, by previous owners, in 1986. I'll dig out some info for you, but I do remember that, if you want to keep the green "oil light" in your speedo working, then you do need the 'T' piece fitted. You have t...

I've lost notifications again and it has been over a couple of weeks!
Not good

Let us not forget that the "current" site was a replacement for the previous site (the one we had when I joined) and when we were migrated from that to this, all the images were lost from the historical posts on how to repair/fix items, sometimes making the remaining text a bit useless. A ...

I had my Pfizer one on Feb 11th. Had a bit of a sore upper arm (site of jab), only at night if I slept on it, for a couple of nights.

A lot of this chap's offerings are container imports from Oz. I have bought a complete front bumper from him - series MM bumper iron, split valences, filler piece and 2 very corroded blades. The bumper iron is currently fixed to my 1950 MM and fits a lot better than the iron that it was bought with!...

Richard, The same seller is now advertising a Tourer, same vintage, but in much more need of TLC, for the same price of £5500.00. Here is the link if you would like to see what conditions cars can be in, here in the UK. https://ebay.us/WN7Psy I envy you your fantastic cars. Seasons Greetings, George.

It was a Classified Ad with a fixed price of £5500.00 - don't know if it was actually bought at this price.
That maroon MM look very nice - great find.

George.

Yes, I've only noticed those after posting - had to go through the images I lifted off the advert to see anything else unusual. Here is a close-up of the off-side damper. Low-light-2.jpg And for those of you that hadn't seen the advert, the only duff things were the seats, as far as I could see. Low...

Hello Richard, A 1949 low-light just sold on eBay UK (classified ad) and I'm adding a photo of the bulkhead which doesn't have the hose holes pre-drilled. The seller is a guy that looks to have imported a large number of vehicles and parts from Australia, going by the lack of rust anywhere on this c...

That's because the system doesn't always send me a notification - the last 2 I had were after Alice's good news.

G.

Hello Alice, Oh dear, that is too far for me to pop over to take a look with my 1960s/70's diagnostic tools (I'm in Farnborough, Hampshire). I also think that travel to that area is being restricted - haven't been there since about 1975. Have you taken out the plugs and checked the gaps (0.025"...

When I sold my first 1964 2-door saloon to a local dustman, it had been standing for about 6 years (since 1984) with a partial tank of 3-star petrol. There were no problems with "real" petrol and it would start on the first quarter turn of the hand-crank (I wasn't going to replace the batt...

I had to use a "muffler" once many years ago on a 1964 2-door saloon, which I don't have any-more. Turned out the problem was a silted-up heat exchanger core! I do happen to have 2 period-correct grille muffs, which I keep in the house - just-in-case. George. P.S. In the early 70's I had t...

Message to the original poster- where are the pictures of the wheels you bought and the hubs that are on your car?

It has all gone very quiet on this post.

George.

I think being able to use a starting handle is a no brainer. If you are always lucky and there is a friend nearby to let you use your jump leads that's fantastic. But when you are in a hurry or when there is nobody around why wouldn't you want to get away in two minutes?? Hi You not talking to me ?...
