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

Just replaced the top vinyl on my Vitesse and refurbed another. New headlining and new top cover for my son’s MGBgt . Any more info you need just let me know Paul

To remove , there are 3 bolts holding rear . Undo from inside and release . Then drag one side at 45 degrees ish and the front section will lease . Do the same with the rear section . Lift off roof covering . Job done Paul

I bought a syringe 200ml added some tubing . Also used for topping up the gearbox and diff Paul

Check out www.rust.co.uk they offer a range of products together with lots of info about treating rust . Paul

Thanks for info - appreciated . Paul

Thanks Phil , this could work well for me . What was the spec for the Sealey air mover ? Paul

Hi just waiting on delivery of a new SIP 100 litre Compressor after the 3 year old little used SGS one spewed oil everywhere . As a newbie to spraying now looking at air extraction to reduce imperfections like dust , flies etc . Any advice as to suitable equipment . I’m using a single garage to spray and can use existing windows to vent . Any advice welcome Paul Just realised I will have power issues as the compressor will be taking a lot of electricity , it’s a 3hp motor Paul

The sill doesn’t line up with the bonnet and from the pic it’s way out . Is it a case of fettling ( posh word for bending the bonnet section ) and or packing the sill ? Both sides have the bonnet overhang Paul

When I bought my Vitesse the incorrect carbs had been fitted and the diff blew up within 3 miles . The previous owner had fitted a new differential but forgot to fill with oil 😱Welcome to classic car ownership . That was 5 years ago and learnt a lot since then and the most important lesson was to teach myself how to maintain and repair my Vitesse as garage costs are very high and no guarantee that the quality of workmanship is there as I’ve found to my cost . The forum will help you at every stage.

Save you some pennies . When I bought my Vitesse I had the same idea but was quickly and correctly dissuaded Paul

Running 15amp on mine . I know it’s high guess 10 would be ok Paul

You might think twice about twin exhaust . Might be a tad loud plus road clearance could be an issue . Paul

Apart from Haynes , second hand EBay is fine as it will get grubby . The AA Book of the Car is a great intro to how our classics work https://www.wob.com/en-gb/books/m-a-i-technical-ed-jacobson/aa-book-of-the-car/9780903356213? Paul

I’ve fitted a Huco pull type on my Vitesse excellent bit of kit , if you need any info let me know . Paul

When it’s MOT time find a suitable local garage as modern mot chains don’t understand our Triumphs . Your front wheel bearings are tapered and need a degree of play to operate . Tighten them up and they will seize . If you don’t have the gear layout on the gear knob leave a paper show the H box layout . My local garage lets me drive in and I stay with the car assisting the MOT guy doing what he says . He even invites me in the pit to see the underside . Paul

This is the reply I got from Halfords . So you can buy an item and you’re not told it’s out of stock until you try and collect or it doesn’t turn up . Then you get no apology just can we try again . I think not Paul Case reference 17182021 Dear Paul, Thanks for confirming your contact details. Items will stay up on the website when we are due to get more stock. Items are only removed when it is discontinued. If you still want the item, I can take a look and see when the item will be returning?

Didn’t @Gary Flinn suggest this wasn’t a NOS factory bonnet and could have been assembled with NOS panels which is not the same . Paul
