In the late 60’s I had a herald convertible and apart from 5.5 ins rims fitted a SAH shortened rear spring which gave negative camber . Seemed a simple solution to the tuck under issue at the time . Paul

Ordered a web exclusive on line . New Compressor . Website said free delivery , but on checkout added £50 delivery charge 😨Changed the order to collection from store and the £50 disappeared . 5 days and a collection time advised together with a “tracker” which said on the way to shop . Collection time went and no collection confirmation text received so rang , held on hold for 10mins and no problems as goods were ready for collection . Asked why I hadn’t received text . Silence then I’ll check with the shop . 10 mins later , the shop will ring you sir only to hear goods were out of stock , though still for sale on the website . I wrote a stinker on Trustpilot and had a reply from Halfrauds as they wanted more info to investigate and to confirm my complaint was genuine . Lesson learnt keep away and take my business where it would be appreciated . If Halfrauds reply I’ll update this post Paul

NOS Vitesse Bonnet on EBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185504268809? Currently £350 . What’s it going to sell for ? Paul

Here’s a link to start with. Paul

My faith in SGS has gone and probably explains the pin prick holes in my last spraying session Paul

Thanks Colin . Will give it a try . This is the only SGS product I’ve got left . 1 tonne and 3 tonne jacks have both packed up Paul

Just found the manual and it’s called the oil breather pipe Paul

My SGS compressor noise level changed and a plastic “relief valve “ blew out . That what I think it is and the room filled up with oil spray . Is it goosed or should I just refit the plastic plug . The plug is lying on top of the compressor .

Hi Mick . Do you have overdrive on your new Vitesse ? Paul

Well done Mick 🤗Nice to see a great result . Paul

or rub it in Paul

Yes it’s the one . Added a black headlining and it’s worked well thanks . Just need to fit Paul

My Vitesse has an agreed TSSC valuation of £12.5k though realistically it’s only worth £8.5k Paul

Can’t see your pics Paul

The above post has all the info you need Paul

Apologies for the incorrect details . Here’s my EBay purchase . It’s a 3pin . Make sure you get the male plug , Paul

Not sure , one way to find out ! Paul

Just finished a sliding roof for my son’s MGB GT . Just got to cut the roof now 😱This roof will also fit the Herald/Vitesse Paul

16404 40amp There are others that will fit . Plus you will see copies at cheaper prices Paul

Hi Mick , you could join the club . That’s the way I found my Vitesse through the club adverts . The price will depend on what work you are prepared to do . You should be able to get a reasonable Vitesse for about £8k . Overdrive is preferable and if a saloon a sunroof is a bonus ( for me anyway ) Paul

Yes the adjustable thingy is the original one from the Dynamo . Paul

Hi Dave , the C40L bracket is removed . The lower alternator fixing is bolted to the engine flange

I chose the Denso because of reliability issues . Previously I had a Dynamator which failed after 1500 miles . Replaced under warranty and sold on EBay . The Denso is 40amps which is plenty for our cars , tiny in comparison and used on Kit Cars and Kubuto diggers . I found I didn’t need any brackets and the pulley is included . Not sure how your 13/60 compares to the Vitesse and pics are of the setup Cost about £80 Paul
