Hi Chaps. Does anyone know of a company that can supply the components to recondition your rad yourself, i.e. veins and cooling fins that make up the core. I have cleaned and repaired my upper and lower tanks, just need to make up a new core. The materials dont seem to be very complex, just tinned o...

Hi chaps.
Yes did set them as described in manual, as you have said.
The only prob i had with that is how do you tell that each valve is fully down??
I know that if you continue turning it will start to come back up again, so you can only guess where is about full open cant you??

Hi Guys.
Can anyone offer any advice on this one.
Set my tappet clearance to 0.12in as advised in the manual, my engine has become very noisey.
it was quiet before hand and i set them to see how it panned out.
It would seem it panned out not very well!!!

Hi Chaps. Yet another conundrem that will prob be explained by the experts. Bought some new rubbers for rear brake sylenders, kit comes in three parts. I know the smll ring is the piston seal, and the large boot is the cover for the rear, but what is the thicker ring for?? Also my sylenders had no s...

will be chewing the f--r at this rate.

Hi Guys.
Yeh have tried the chisel method, bloody thing didnt budge, i am assuming it is undone in an anti-clockwise direction??
gonna have to get a socket me thinks, all this for a dodgy connection.
Paul.M.

Hi All.
Does anyone know what size of socket i will require to remove the nut in the centre of the steering wheel on my 1970 traveller??
Paul.M.

getting vinyl from Automobile trim. they hsve the best colour match and this is designed for the job.
Fairly well priced too compared to Woolies trim.
Paul.M.

You know what guys i have decided to make my own.
After deconstructing one there appears to be very little to them.
Hardboard will replace the cardboard and i will use the old ones as templates.
Can order vinyl and have a sewing machine, will see how it goes.

It would seem that you get the holes free of charge when bying from G.S.Jones.
Got new hose this morning, gonna try to fit it this aft, will use a bit of washing up liquid and see how it goes, will keep you posted.
Paul.M.

hi. You know what chaps i cant be bothered to ring em, specially not Shrewsbury. If they cant be bothered to contact me to rectify the situation why should i waste my time and money contacting them. Effective customer service wouldnt allow this to take place. I am in the process of restoring my Trav...

Hi Guys. Bought a radiator top hose for my Traveller from G.S.Jones a couple of weeks ago. Fitted it two days ago and ran the car upto temprature, found out that the hose had a small split in it that was there from new. This sprayed water on to the fan which in turn distributed it everywhere else. T...

Hi.
Does anyone know if there are interior kits available that contain such things as seat covers, door cards etc??
Paul.M.

contacted Moss this morning, they only do the black plastic ones. Didnt go to National rally. I did go to the Classic car show at Tatton park a couple of weeks ago, got a set off wing mirrors i was looking for from Autojumble but sadly no fuel cap. Would use the non-locking type but as far as i am a...

Hi.
They only have the black plastic ones and the chrome non locking type.
Paul.M.

Hi Guys.

Does anyone know where i can buy a period fuel locking cap to fit my traveller??
I have seen them on e-bay but £30 seems a bit pricey for a petrol cap.
Paul.M.
