Perhaps this accounts for the poor quality of some rubber components now being sold.

Re: Any ideas what this car is ?
Thank you Moggiethouable for highlighting my incorrect tense usage, but I’m curious that you felt the need to. Especially as my original post is now over 16 months ago and been viewed nearly 4000 times, without anyone else feeling the need to.
Kind regards.

Hello, As the insurance renewal date for the Traveller was approaching I thought I’d contact Peter James and was pleasantly surprised by both the simplicity of the quote process & policy features. Accepted as daily / everyday car (without the requirement to own another modern car). Unlimited mil...

Nangkang Tyres
Hello
The tread is getting low on all the tyres on my 1968 Traveller, so as I’m on a shoestring budget considering: Nangkang - 155/80/R14 . Any comments on others actual experience of these tyres would be very welcome .
Kind regards.

Polyurethane spring pads ?
Hello,
From others experience is it worth buying Polyurethane spring pads instead of the standard rubber type ?

Missing part ?
Hello,
Should there be a fixing and tube here to guide the starter handle from inside the bumper to the dog (below the plate protecting the bottom of radiator)
If so, does anyone have a photo, so I could fabricate one or seek one out….
Kind regards.

Steering Rack Gaiter failure again !.
Hello,
Steering Rack Gaiters have only lasted just over a year (~3500 miles) So I’ve decided to try the Nitrol Rubber type from ESM - have other people found these much better ?

Hello, Last week my everyday Traveller passed the MOT (twentieth year of passes & no advisories), then at the weekend I went to a local steam fair and was parked up for the day surrounded by a good display of cars from the 1950s onwards. I was curious as to how many others still put their car th...
