Wiper wheel box compatibility

I have a 1969 Traveller. I am not sure what type of replacement wiper wheel box I need to order. The wiper wheel boxes currently fitted have a black plastic(?)

Steering Wheel Interchangable???

I rather like the three spoke Morris Minor steering wheel. Can I replace the two spoke steering wheel in my 1969 traveller with an earlier three spoke type? If it is possible are any modifications required and is the horn push interchangeable?
Thanks. Steve.

Glass window suppliers?

I am not having much luck trying to source the front glass section for the o/s rear side window of my traveller. (the existing window is very badly scratched). I was wondering if any members know of any specialist suppliers of windows for classic cars? Thanks.

Rattle behind Speedo

My 1969 Morris Traveller has suddenly developed a rather annoying rattle that appears to be coming from behind the Speedo. It comes and goes according to engine revs (vibration) when moving but is not influenced by road speed. I have ensured the Speedo is properly located and tightened the securing ...

Quietest exhaust

My 1969 Traveller has a developed an annoying rattle that sounds like a small loose piece of metal in the silencer. It can be heard when the engine is running; it think is due to vibration. If I give the silencer a knock with my hand (engine not running) I can again hear what sounds to be a lose pie...

Chrome bonnet lift handle

My 1969 Traveller has a chrome bonnet lift handle that is all chrome, ie no red background to the ‘M’ emblem on each side of the handle. Can anyone tell me where I can obtain a new or good condition chrome bonnet lift handle that has the correct red background to the 'M’ emblem?

Re: Traveller side window glass replacement.

Thanks for your advice Kevin. I think I may need to replace the window which is quite badly scratched towards the bottom, it looks like it my have been caused by sandpaper by a previous keeper when sanding the wood frame. I assume refitting is the opposite of removal, with fresh dum dum applied?
