  1. Flushed out the matrix today until clear water running . I won’t be able to check if the solids have dissolved completely until it completely dries , The matrix is now fine and no leaks so can be used again . Here’s another pic which shows the top with the plate which divides the matrix . Paul

    SpitBitz?

    My experience with SpitzBitz are fine , several purchases , no complaints Paul
  3. I still have the old matrix from my Vitesse mk2 , it’s probably the original and dated 69 . I’ve filled the matrix with 50/50 malt vinager and boiling water . The matrix took 250ml of the mixture . The matrix had a lot of unremovable crud at the opposite end to the pipes and rattled when shook . Currently the matrix is warm throughout suggesting there are no blockages or leaks I’ll leave the mixture in for 3 days and report back with my findings Paul
  4. I asked about the Metalastik donuts pricing and Robush said the price had gone up but they give Motor Clubs discounts . I have passed all the info on to Angie , hopefully the club might be able to purchase some . Paul
  5. A modified D type solenoid allowing access in situ The od solenoid lower fixing is a 4ins 2ba screw with tube and nuts . Might be a tad long and will adjust length when fitting . This will ensure the solenoid will never fail 🤔 Paul
  6. Checked the price with Robush today and the price is now £126 each plus postage . That’s inflation or ripoff Paul
  7. I’ve fitted a Huco 13001 in my Vitesse in the engine bay by the battery . Works well Paul
  8. Here’s some more windows https://www.gumtree.com/p/car-replacement-parts/triumph-herald-estate-/1399718947 Paul
  9. The charge out rate at Manvers Triumph (no longer trading ) was £75 per hr 4 years ago Paul
  10. What questions can I ask as to it’s condition ? Paul
  11. Seen this on EBay . Says Crisp Stamping . What does this mean or is it clever marketing https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Triumph-Vitesse-2-litre-2000-6-cylinder-short-engine-standardBore-crisp-stamping-/313727437614?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 Paul

  13. Out of interest what was your oil consumption please Paul
  14. https://silverstoneauctions.com/sa077-lot-17189-1969-triumph-gt6-mk-2 Not sure if I could justify the £90k plus rebuild costs though Paul
  15. Currently on Sorn so no MOT . No excuse for no MOT .Paul

    Check out https://www.replacementkeys.co.uk I have the same locking cap and purchased a spare , about £6 delivered . I tried to find PJ047 but couldn’t find yours but worth checking yours again . Good luck Paul nb I replaced the rubber gasket by making one from an old inner tube. This is part of the MOT
  19. I purchased a new Dynomater for my Vitesse . Lasted 1500 miles , replaced under warranty and then sold on EBay , went back to a Dynamo Paul
  20. The fresh paint and the bubbling means walk away , the pricing is way over the top for this condition Paul
  21. A cheaper option to recovering the seats is to replace with MGF leather seats . Easy upgrade Paul
  22. MOT search shows significant rust issues . Would suggest finding out who did the work and a ramp inspection to check the quality of the repairs. Paul
  23. I replaced the clutch in my Mk2 Vitesse through the cabin . I have OD so more issues . Now I’ve done it , next time will be easier Paul
