Re: Nangkang Tyres
I've had Toyo and Bridgestone but Blockley's are far better in every respect. Ride and roadholding superb - can't fault them

Your engine steady bracket is upside down!
Re: Tyres
Blockley's without a doubt! By far the best I've had on a Moggie and great service too.

Re: Exhaust modifications
I have a marina combined inlet/exhaust manifold and a HiF38 and the correct air cleaner, together with a Maniflow exhaust specially made to fit the manifold if you're interested? I was going to fit it all to my Traveller with a 12G925 head that I have ready to drop on to improve performance somewhat...

Re: Wood frame colouring
Osmo oil will give you a lovely light ash colour - and protect the wood really well - without using any stain on the bare wood.

Re: Tips for removing adhesive lettering
WD40 is effective on a lot of sticky things! Dental floss to 'saw' the letters off, then WD40 on the residue

Tyres
I have just visited Blockley Tyres today to get a set fitted to my Citroen CX wheels. I had a set on my traveller and they are simply the best tyres I have ever had on a Moggie without a doubt. Everything on their website about the tyres for Morris Minors is spot on. Julian happened too be there and...

Re: Heated front Screen - Wiring Calculations
On my previous Traveller I fitted front and rear heated screens wired through relays and an illuminated two way centre off toggle switch. I did that so that you couldn't put both on at once and hence draw a lot of current, and anyway the front screen was so good it rapidly defrosted and then I didn'...

Re: Electronic Ignition
I don't think that is an Accuspark electronic dizzy - it looks like one of their standard (points) replacement dizzy's. Maybe you bought it just to have in case of emergency (a bit like Paddington's marmalade sandwiches...)

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...

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 ...
