Rosette 13/5mm with screw. Contents: 12 pieces + 12x screw 4mm/16mm. This rosette consists only of

a punched-out sheet metal which has been nickel-plated. They are not as sturdy and pretty as our numbers 21143, 21144, 21145, but these rosettes are more like the original rosettes used in early Citroen 2CV, R4, Dauphine etc. Higher-quality vehicles were more likely to have our shiny alternatives (e.g. Citroen DS).

Battery charger for 6 volts + 12 volts (OptiMate 5 6V/12V). Charging capacity: 3 amps at 12 volts

4 amps at 6 volts. This battery charger and trickle charger only charges lead-acid batteries (i.e. the batteries in classic cars). It can be used for both 6 volt and 12 volt batteries. This charger can also reactivate deeply discharged batteries (up to a discharge of 0.5 volts)! The clever electronics make it possible. You can also test batteries. It has a fuse circuit in case it is connected incorrectly. It controls the charging current according to the ambient temperature and has many other options. Regular desulphation is important for a long battery service life. And this is what these modern chargers can do.

Spark plug thread M14 repair kit (for repairing defective spark plug threads). Hobby quality. For

all M14 spark plugs. The repair kit comes with an HSS thread cutter (drive wrench size 17 mm) and 4 thread inserts. Length of thread inserts: 9.7 mm + 11.0 mm + 13.0 mm + 19.1 mm.

Battery charger - trickle charger for winter storage (OptiMate 1). Switchable between 6 volts and

12 volts. This small continuous charger is ideal for permanently connecting to a battery during the winter break. State-of-the-art technology protects against reverse polarity of the connections. It is suitable for normal lead batteries (those with acid). The maximum charging current is 0.6 amps. Please note: You cannot use this charger to quickly charge or reactivate empty batteries! It is therefore designed to keep the battery fresh and, if necessary, charge it very slowly. The scope of delivery also includes a charging cable that can be permanently connected to the battery. Simply route the plug connection to the outside and the charger can be connected without opening the bonnet.

Battery charger for 12 volts (OptiMate 6 Ampmatic). Charging capacity: 6 amps. The 'Swiss Army

knife' among battery chargers. You can connect all types of batteries (STD, AGM, EFB, GEL batteries). Almost all sizes can also be connected (3AH > 144Ah). This charger can even reactivate deeply discharged batteries (down to a discharge of 0.5 volts)! Its smart electronics make it possible. You can also test batteries. It has a safety circuit in case it is connected incorrectly. It controls the charging current according to the ambient temperature and has many other options. Whether it's a lawnmower, boat, car, motorhome, motorbike or tractor, this charger automatically adjusts to everything. And let's be honest, who knows what kind of battery is installed in modern vehicles these days? With this, it doesn't matter! Only modern electric vehicles cannot be charged with it! Of course, it can also be used as a normal battery maintenance charger. Our tip if you have several vehicles that are stored over the winter: get one of these chargers and equip the other vehicles with our maintenance chargers. The scope of delivery also includes a charging cable that can be permanently connected to the battery. Simply route the plug connection to the outside and the charger can be connected without opening the bonnet. Regular desulphation is important for a long service life of lead-acid batteries. And this is what these modern chargers can do.

Carburettor jet cleaning tool. Essential for carburettor maintenance and cleaning in your classic

car. The scope of delivery includes five stainless steel nylon brushes with diameters of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 mm and a brush length of 30 mm. Ten stainless steel cleaning needles with diameters of 0.7, 0.9, 1.1, 1.3 and 1.4 mm.

Fuel stabiliser - fuel additive - octane booster from ELF/Total, for winter storage and storage of

all 2 and 4-stroke engines. Ideal for our classic cars. Prevents corrosion in the tank and in the entire fuel system. Antioxidants prevent the fuel from ageing (the petrol remains ignitable). Binds and neutralises condensation in the tank. Eliminates starting difficulties when the vehicle has not been used for a long time. And as a special feature, the petrol additive has an octane booster. It therefore increases the ignitability of the petrol (knock resistance). Particularly interesting for regions in this beautiful world where there is no super petrol with at least 98 octane, or if you are involved in motor sports! Packaged in a high-quality aluminium can. Contents: 150ml. Application: 150ml is sufficient for 20 litres of petrol. Fill the tank completely. Fill in the fuel additive. Run the engine for 10 minutes. Done!

Citroën Traction Spare Parts

The legend on wheels. The Citroën Traction Avant – this is not just a car; this is history on four wheels. Built from 1934 to 1957, this car is a true pioneer and revolutionized the automotive world with front-wheel drive and a self-supporting body. Owning a Traction today means driving a piece of technical history. Elegant, robust, and with road handling far ahead of its time. No wonder the "Gangster Citroën" can still be seen at many classic car meetings and rallies.
But of course, a car that has been on the road for decades needs the right spare parts. Finding spare parts for the Traction Avant is a mix of treasure hunting and patience. The good news: they are still available. And you can find them in our online shop.
 

Spare parts for the Citroën Traction – Rare, but not gone

Whether it's the small Citroën 7CV, the widely used Citroën 11CV, or the mighty Citroën 15CV with its six-cylinder engine – those who search will find. And that's a good thing because typical wear parts like brakes, steering, and suspension require regular attention. The bodywork is a particular challenge. The self-supporting design was a sensation at the time but makes restorations today somewhat tricky. Rust tends to appear on the sills, fenders, and trunk area. Replacement panels are available, but it takes some craftsmanship to bring the Traction back into shape.
But it's worth it. Because the Citroën Traction Avant is not a car to sit idle; it's meant to be driven. Long distances? No problem. Gravel roads? It just smiles at them. But it won’t go anywhere without spare parts. Those who maintain their Traction properly will have a car that, even after almost 90 years, still keeps up effortlessly with modern traffic – with style, character, and a generous dose of French charm.
If you can’t find the spare parts you’re looking for, simply contact our team by email or phone. We’re happy to assist you in German, English, and French and help ensure that your Citroën Traction Avant is soon gliding over the roads again.
