Today, my Series II Traveller has reached its 59th Birthday
[frame][/frame]
So I've treated it to a day out (to work -OK - and back - I hope)
He has recently had new front tyres - shame that lead balance weights have been phased out as you now get so many more alloy ones, which spoil the look of the wheel (off-side even worse)
'50 Low-light with 918 Side-valve engine,
'51 High-light with Side-valve 918 engine,
'55 4-dr with 803 engine,
'56 Traveller with 1098 engine.

Two options here
1) paint over the alloy weights
2) whenever you see a breakers yard go in and remove all the old lead weights. Then when you buy a new tyre, have the lead ones fitted. The tyre fitter may well have a box full - ask nicely and it will probably only cost you a donation in the Christmas box!

You should have asked for them to be balanced from the other side of the wheel, that is what I did.
