Professional finish

Thanks for the encouragement stephen. once they are done, I 'll post some pics

Thanks Stephen. It's good to know it is do-able. It so happens that i was given 2 chrome washer jets for my birthday las week. Glove boxes need to come out for this job too. Moving the speedo out a bit will give me better acces to run illumination wires from my light switch to the oil pressure gauge...

Good afternoon gents. I have bought a new heater decal from Sticky Fingers for my 1969 saloon heater as the lettering has faded badly. The heater pumps out really good heat, suggesting a new matrix in the recent past as the heater hoses look new too. So my question is this. Rather than take out the ...

Thanks for your replies. Very reassuring indeed. And as you both suggest I'll leave the V5C as it is.
Thanks again.

Hi guys. My recent aquisition is an October1969 4 door saloon. Mileage 105k.It is the later type engine with the chimney pot on the side vented to the carb.There is no engine number on the block. The engine number on the V5C is 10MAUH11667 I paid £10 to the B.M.M. heritage for a 1 item search to fin...

Thanks guys for the info and a link to get better search results.

Hi. I have re-joined the club after a couple of years absence and am having difficulty finding out info. Rather than ask the obvious (to some) questions, I try searching first. when I ask about "recommended engine oil". i am told that it is ignoring the words engine and oil as they are too...

At last. I can afford some time on "Dancer." Ref the main beam warning light, there must be a break in the wiring in the loom from the foot switch to the warning light. I think I read on here to take a cable from the blue and white terminal on the foot switch and cut into the cable going t...

Hi Guys and thanks for the replies. It's good to know the speedo unit acts as the earth for the panel lights. so that seems normal.
I'm having a loft conversion done so a tad busy to work on the traveller. I'll report back when I get a chance.
Cheers for now.

Hi again people. I removed and sent off my bronze faced speedo for overhaul as odometer wasn't working. On refitting, the dash lights glowed weakly until I mounted the speedo back into the dashboard when they brightened up. Pull the speedo back out and the lights go dull Speedo mounted back in and t...

Thanks for the quick replies. I have now printed off the details posted by islipminor and will digest.
Thanks again

Hi again. My 1963 Traveller has the round heater matrix. Is it possible / difficult to upgrade this to the square type matrix? The front panel has the hole for the fresh air ducting but no hole in the bulkhead. Would the heater tap on the block have to be upgraded to suit? I've done a search on here...

You have a pont steveclem. With no impact zones or crumple zones, what are we strspping ourselves in for? However they would help in whiplash incidents. Also a 50 year habit is hard to kick.

Thanks simmitc. Intersesting to know that's what it is. Like you, I think independent anchors would be the safest way to go.

Hi again. Does anyone recognise this? (see photo) It's on the propshaft tunnel behind the front seats. Could it be used on my 1963 traveller for the front seat-belt stalks anchor point ? And yes, I need to clean the carpets!!

Thought I had posted it right away. Anyway, it is there now. Sadly plenty of views but none for sale yet.

Add now in the wanted section

Hi philthehil. Thanks for the quick reply. There are no holes in the bolt heads for tying wire. Thebolts are 7/16AF and 1/4 diameter. The bolts are unscrewed as far as possible but still "feel"as though they are still screwed into the block. the top cover is loose but but can't remove it d...

The scroll will still be on the crankshaft. You may have to rob a rear cover off an unserviceable block. It may be worth doing a search on 'e' bay - or you could borrow the top cover off your spare engine. Having been waylaid on the gardening front, I am back on trying to remove the top cove off my...
