favour from traveller owners

Post by **g_land** » Mon Nov 21, 2005 4:07 pm

folks,

anyone who owns a traveller and a digi camera, could you do me a favour.

can you take a few pics of the internal timber trim of the car, there are a few bits that i can't figure out!!!

especially the smaller, unusual bits.

i know it sound weird but i can't remember which way the jig-saw goes together!!!

Huge Thanks in advance.

George

Well done MG club. That gallery with Morris Traveller shots of the interior looks useful. With labels, a good example of what could be done for different models of Morris (as a visual web reference) for the web site anniversary project ?

Nothing to do with any club ;) Its on the spritespot gallery, which has no club affiliations...

Why was such a nice traveller broken for parts?, that car looks in excellent condition (apart from the dodgy looking door bottoms).

Which bits are you interested in? There aren't many, just the top and mid rails on each side and the B pillar covers.

in that case, I should have scrapped my Traveller, as it needed new o/s front inner and outer wing. Rear o/s spring hanger, sills, rear o/s inner wing and chassis leg. o/s wood, boot floor repairs, repairs to n/s inner wing, n/s sills pieces, new front panel, repaits to both rear wings, n/s b- post, welding to tie plate.

I guess at least the gutters and front chassis is passable on my car.

learn to weld! ;)

yes and alos rear parts of the trim and headlining - i did get a good idea about the head lining from matt's pics but if your getting trigger happy with a camera then why not take a few more

thanks for those who have helped so far

If your cab roof had become seperated from the A-posts due to structural rot then you were indeed brave to restore the car!

Aha. Hence it being a viable project ;-)

Matt's dead traveller has helped keep at least half a dozen other cars on the road! Sometimes the sum of the parts is far less worthy than the individual parts

I can.... have you not seen the sprite in the profile pic? I have done sooooo much welding to that, and the convertable we have bought etc etc. I have even welded up the wings on the 1926 truck

oh, and the windscreen surrounds had rotted out, it needed new floor pans too and the interior wasn't exactly complete or nice...

OK, fair do's, I have seen some cars that were beyond help. Its just me trying to encourage others to have a go ;)

I'd better send George some pics too!

Talking of welding, I don't want to do any on the Trav for a while yet, so as pennance I'm off the the garage for a spot of waxoyling!

Each side of the woodwork uses three fillets:

One screws onto the Sill Rail to hold the bottom of the front aluminium panel in place.

One screws into the slot at the front on the rear corner post to hold the back of the rear aluminium panel in place.

One goes in the side rail which is the one at the top which also has two runners for the side windows.
The window which goes at the front and is on the outside can slide all the way back. It goes in a long runner at the top which goes along the whole length of the side rail.
The window which goes at the back and is on the inside can only go forward a short distance. It goes in a short runner at the top which reaches to the rear corner post. Then comes a rubber stop about an inch long. Then comes the third fillet at the front.
