Re: Routing the wires from the heated windscreen.

Thanks for the link. I did a search but clearly missed that one. It seems a neat solution. I am intrigued as to how the wire comes through the rubber and over the metal edge, with no obvious bulge.

Thanks again.

Position of exhaust mount

Hi All, I would be very pleased, if someone could indicate the correct position of the bolt hole for the exhaust mount under the rear seat. I have replaced the floor & spring mount in this area. So only have a rough idea of it's position. Offering up the three part stainless system does little t...

Re: Routing brake pipe & wiring loom.

Thanks for your responses. Whilst helpful, my confusion is centred on the clutch mechanism and gearbox crossmember.

Routing brake pipe & wiring loom.

After a two year long weldathon, I am finally ready to reassemble my Traveller. Sadly I clearly didn't note a number of details. Can anyone explain how the wiring loom and brake pipe, pass the clutch pedal mechanism and gearbox crossmember. I have routed the petrol pipe along side the chassis box se...

Re: Which new wiring loom.

'Even the Minor had them as factory fit for specific customers as requested from the mid 60s, using the Lucas 11AC' Returning to the original question, which loom? Is it possible that the alternator loom supplied by ESM is not compatible with an ACR installation. Incidentally my reasoning for fittin...

Which new wiring loom.

Hi, After a bare metal rebuild of my 1970 Traveller, I am about to order a new wiring loom from ESM. However they offer options for both Dynamo or Alternator. Given I intend to fit an alternator, should I fit the alternator loom or stay with the original dynamo type loom and wire up as a conversion?...

Front inner wing / Dome panel

Has anyone experience of replacing the front inner wing dome panel. The replacement panel I have, like so many, looks well made but when offered into place has the wrong contour in critical positions. This is at it's worst where it meets the curved edge of the bulkhead above the cross member. Does a...

Re: Laygear circlips

Thanks to all.
I was reluctant to attack the clips with a Dremel for fear of catching the bearing surface.
However that was the answer and easier than anticipated.

Thanks again.

Re: Laygear circlips

Thanks Bill.

I had not seen those before. Clearly very useful for the external clips on the main shaft bearings.
My problem however is with the internal clips in the end of the layshaft. These are in a bore of about 20mm diameter.

Laygear circlips

Any tips please. I am trying to remove the circlips that retain the bearings in the laygear in a late gearbox. Annoyingly the ends are cut square and they defy picking out. Any suggestions welcome.
