Side stripe for my Vitesse Paul

Thanks Paul , that was my thoughts Paul

I need 4 wheel dolly / skates to move my Vitesse around within the garage . Fairly even concrete floor. Any recommendations as to a supplier ? Paul

Purchased a litre of cellulose Old English White 3WT for the side stripe from Craftmaster . what psi at the gun are you using with cellulose ? My HVLP gun has a 1.3 tip Paul

Yes should be DX73 https://coh-baines.co.uk/products/flexible-self-grip-rubber-side-tail-seal-1-6mm-to-3mm-panels-dx73 Paul

I’ve modded my Vitesse so all 4 lights come on dip as well as main . I’ve added an inline fuse which isolates the dipped 4 for MOT purposes . All front lamps running on relays and output seems adequate though don’t do much night driving Paul

Hi Clive , it’s general purpose use so thanks . I already use Upol Dolphin 1k stopper Paul

Slight thread drift . Looking for recommendations for Body Filler. Paul

Thanks @foshi @NonMember just requested a colour chart from Craftmaster I’m using HB Body 989 2k Epoxy Primer then on to cellulose Valencia Blue 66. I’ve only sprayed the sills so far though worked fine . Should I be using cellulose primer on top of the Epoxy then top coat ?

Looking to add a side stripe to my Valencia Blue Saloon like the following pic . Is the colour Old English or Triumph White ? I’m looking for the “creamier “ of the 2. Any suggestions as to suppliers of cellulose . 1 litre would be plenty Paul

This CTEC product looks interesting . Anybody used it ? Would It any good on underseal https://www.toolstation.com/c-tec-multisolve-multi-purpose-solvent/p73723 Paul

You shouldn’t need to remove the dash . I traced each wire tidying up as I went . I added a common earth link under the dash and this fixed the panel lights . The horn which didn’t work was the hardest to fix and that was a faulty earth .I did add a new blade fuse box at the same time so the colour coding was familiar at the time . The ignition wiring can be checked by pulling the ignition into the cabin . Then with cable ties the wiring can be neatly tucked away Paul nb disconnect the battery when playing with the wiring

I like Bilthamber products . Other makers are available Paul

I use this cable for accessories tidying up etc . Cost effective . https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/195228857564? Paul

I had a similar situation with my Vitesse, I informed my insurance company and they advised the ( Supplier ) was at fault and would provide me with legal advice . Once the seller knows you have taken legal advice they quickly try to settle which happened in my case . Paul

Looking again at the web link this is a different model . My SIP has been on back order for a month and not back on web sites yet unless there has been a model change Paul

Not sure Pete https://www.worldofpower.co.uk/sip-04383-qt100-10-low-noise-compressor.html Paul

Ran the compressor just for test and the noise level is much lower than the conventional oil type , so far so good . I won’t be annoying the neighbours now . IMG_4508.MOV Paul

Made all the difference on my Vitesse . One of the best upgrades I’ve made Paul

New toy just arrived . 100 litre 14 cfm , low noise 59db , no oil Will advise on performance in due course Paul

That’s like mine . Never seen one come up on resale . Look after it Paul

Is it a single recessed handle ? If so these crop up on EBay from time to time £50 ish . Paul

Need a pic to advise plus a pic of the roof fittings . Is it all one piece or 4 sections as you might be able to bring the roof forward . The sun will certainly stretch so leave as long as possible Paul
