Re: Tyre rotation (between front & rear axles)
Generally not an issue on Minors but of course you can't do this if you have directional tyres fitted on moderns!

Re: Painting New Parts (or not)?
Just put some WD40 on the sticky labels (scratch them a bit if they're 'plastic coated' and leave it to soak while you have a cuppa. They come off dead easily and it won't affect the paint beneath.

Re: 52mm battery powered time clock
I had one in my previous traveller - it was almost like a pocket watch but had a silicone rubber ring around it is it slotted into an instrument mount. I think I found it on the Bay of E. I'm afraid I can't remember the make - most likely Far Eastern of course but it was pretty reliable and lasted a...

I fitted an Accuspark to my traveller - never had any problems whatsoever with it - it was my daily car for several years.

Re: Traveller Heated Rear Windows
They're on order but haven't arrived yet. They're the proper heated glass ones, not stick on. I asked the supplier when I ordered them but they didn't know! I'll check the resistance when they arrive and work it out.

Re: Another Traveller Project
The Wolseley 9" front brakes are an excellent improvement and rather rare to find nowadays. I sleeved my cylinders with stainless steel. I noticed a big difference after fitting them to my previous traveller.

Re: Socket set
Back in the 1980's I bought a YAMOTO socket set (Cromwell tools sell them) and it's still going strong! The only problem I've had is the rubber handles have eventually loosened so I've had to glue them back on. The case was damaged (broken latch) when my son drove over it about ten years ago, but I ...

Differential question...
I’m rebuilding a 3.9 diff. The pinion pin has two flats machined into it but as I was gently drifting it out I failed to catch it so I don’t know which way the flats were facing. It can go in two ways because of the little pin that ‘secures’ it. Does anyone know if it matters which way the flats sho...

carburettor spacer
I'm going to fit an Hif38 and see that you can get both alloy and 'plastic' spacer blocks - I wondered which was best to use? I know the older type plastic ones can crack and leak with age but if the idea is to insulate from heat then surely the alloy ones aren't very effective at that? Also there a...
