You can smoke them out, but they seem to come out reluctantly. The front seat frames are the same as all the cars, the back seat and squab are unique to the traveller. Frames are all you need as you can get wonderful complete upholstery sets ready made for the traveller and all the other models of very high quality. No need to take it to the local upholstery guy to have them custom made, unless that's what you want. Wish I could help you out, but I don't have any. Where're you located?

I replaced my SU pump with the electronic model a few months ago, and I have had nothing but trouble ever since. It seems the pump is unable to keep up with the engine's normal demand for fuel, and frequently experiences a loss of prime, or vapor lock. In cool weather, I am able to drive along pretty well; but on a warm day, forget it. I'd like to go back to the SU pump, frankly, but I haven't been able to locate a point set for it. The pump on my car is an older model, with a single spring-steel fixed contact point. It is that contact point which is worn beyond its useful life. Anyone know where I can get a replacement point set? Thanks!

It's a lousy environment with the fuel line close to the exhaust and the fuel pump forced to suck hot fuel up hill. Translates to vapor lock! I mount all of the Morris fuel pumps underneath the car close to the fuel tank and then they are in a lot cooler area and they become pushers. Read that as serious reduction of vapor lock. Also use the small square low pressure one that solid state. If you feel that you must keep a fuel pump in the engine compartment for "originality" sake, just take out the valves, unhook the wire and leave it there with the new one back by the gas tank. You may also have some plugged fuel filters if this pump can't keep up with the fuel need. Do you have an Allison V-12 by any chance in the engine bay? LOL!
