Traveller brass wood inserts

Post by don58van »

Hi All
A friend is trying to find out what the thread is in the inserts that Morris originally used to secure the rear wings to the wood arch-pieces on early Travellers. This was before hex-head coach bolts were adopted for that purpose. Does anyone know? I assume is BSF but what size?

Ive also obtained 22 ¼ BSF threaded brass inserts for fixing my rear wings.
The original fitment was an expanding steel insert. These new ones are screw in type and are less likely to corrode and stain the wood. I decided to fit inserts as I can then easily unbolt the wings for maintenance and with the large oval slotted holes in the wings as original there is some scope for final adjustments when fitting..

The last pic I tried one in the original hole..the woods a bit rotten but you get the idea...

Excellent! Thanks Taupe.
I would be interested to know where you sourced your brass inserts.
