Rusty sills

Can anyone advise me on the cost of replacing rusty sills with new ones. …and also who could carry out the work required on my ‘64 traveller. Situated near Stirling Scotland…so anywhere in the Central Belt accessible.
Thanks

Re: How to refit outer headlight bezel?

Hi
Thanks for that. I’d fit the old bowls but one has the flange that holds the spring missing. I’ll have a go at what you suggest.
Thanks.

How to refit outer headlight bezel?

I have fitted new headlights and bowl but I am unable to refit the outer chrome bezel. Is there some special way to refit them? Have I possibly screwed the bowl too tight to the rubber? Help!

Re: Bleedin Brakes Bleedi Problem

If it was a fault in the washers would the fluid not then be showing at the bottom of the banjo and not at the top as it does now.?

Bleedin Brakes Bleedi Problem

Rear brakes giving me grief. Put on new brake pipes and all new fixings but have a fluid show from the banjo at the bleed nipple end..it seems to be coming up the side of the banjo, evident on both rear brakes. I have replaced it all again with the same result. What am I doing wrong? All connections...
