Traveller spare wheel compartment cover

My 1969 traveller is missing the spare wheel compartment wooden cover.

Thanks for your help

Speedo and heater issues

I'm the proud recent owner of a 1969 Traveller and have a couple of small problems I wonder if anyone can help me with: 1.A 'clicking' from the back of the speedo which increases in line with road speed, speedo and mileometer work ok (cable ?) 2.The heater blows only luke warm even after a long run....

Austin Healey Sprite wheels

I've been offered a set of 'Frogeye' 13 inch steel rims, will these fit a 1970 Traveller in terms of offset and PCD ?

Thanks

Here's hoping
