Aluminium Rain Gutter Fitting.

Post by Bubblemechanic »

Hi everyone and a Merry Christmas and a better New Year hopefully
I am trying to finish off my Traveller Resto and coming to try and fit the Aluminium Rain/roof gutter and was wondering if anyone could give me any advice.
Also does anyone have the measurement from the B Post to the corner to put the cut out and how long it should be to get it round the corner .
Cheers and appreciated Paul (Bubblemechanic)

You need the traveller timber drawings.... AFA858 is one the cutout is where the timber is radiused and 1/16 " radius is used on the aly corners....the drawings also detail the nails used the correct gap at the rubber seal etc... here is a snapshot view which I have copied for you as its Christmas!

Just use a tape measure to measure the length of the radius part on your timber or from the roof joint if you prefer? This will vary slightly with each car depending on the radius used on the timber...

Ray Newells Morris Traveller book shows loads of pics of it being fitted too and indicates a cut out of around 25-30mmwhich is about right :D
