How about a bit of thread drift ? The summer is for enjoying your Triumph . The Autumn and Winter for fixing / improving . In my case getting down to bodywork and spraying . BUT temp had to be 17c to spray . I have a dedicated single garage which will need heating . The garage has little insulation . I see my options as either a Propane Spacer Blower or perhaps a Wood Burner . Any ideas ? Paul

How often should we change Dot4 Paul

Planning to change the Clutch and Brake Fluid , it’s 4 years old and the cheap tester reads 3 to 4 % The only issue is the new unopened bottle says the same 😱 or worse What to do ??? Paul

Replacing the blower with a Nissan Micra blower will increase the volume of air by at least 50% Paul

Hi Chris , not yet life keeps getting in the way 🤔might get a chance next week Paul

There’s nothing to stop you adding heated seats, an easy fix Paul

Here’s the body numbers on mine Paul

This is the type I use Paul

Hi Don , I had a singing canary, same situation as you , tried springs which worked for a while then the birds returned . Got used to it in the end . Turned out to be the dimple stopping the RELEASE BEARING CARRIER from spinning had been flattened by the previous owner . Sorted by drilling and adding a split pin to the carrier to stop the spinning . Discovered with a recent gearbox overhaul and clutch change with Pete in control . Vitesse mk1 gearbox Paul

Out of interest paid 1.41 per litre for E5 Momentum 99 yesterday at local Tesco Paul

I have oil water separators on both the compressor outlet and on the gun . This leaves general lack of cleanliness which is likely . I’ll still do the test with and without panel wipe to be sure . Before the panel wipe I was using brake cleaner spray Paul

Thanks Chris , followed your analysis with interest . My gut feeling is that the Upol panel wipe is not compatible with Cellulose and simple test will sort that out . I’ll keep u posted as to the results Paul

Hi Chris, I’ve got moisture traps at the compressor and the gun . I’m beginning to think the compressor might be at fault . I’m using 2k Epoxy Primer Then Cellulose . I’ll try anti silicone and see if there’s an improvement . I’m very new to spraying and will try misting as you suggest This is what happened when spraying cellulose on a sill for my Vitesse . I’ve started to flatten again before spraying again . The other sill was fine and fish eye only started when I used the Upol Panel wipe Onwards and upwards and enjoying the learning curve Paul

Same here and I’ve been here 5 years 😱 Paul

Bought this can , described as panel wipe . I now have “fisheye “ and don’t know if it’s contaminated air or Im using the wrong product as panel wipe Paul

Saw this product in Toolstation and a possible use in bonding metal . Cost was about £12. I haven’t tried this product Checked on www ct1.com and found this Video ( not to all tastes ) https://youtu.be/AoZuA0ATw4Y Paul

Replacing the veneer will be a pro job because of all the contours of the capping ? Paul

Assuming you don’t replace the veneer do you use wood stain before applying varnish Paul

Just had my Vitesse MOT’d. All went went well until invited down the pit to see a nycrolock nut missing off the bolt going through the front shocker securing it to the lower wishbone . The mot guy then found a 7/16 af replacement and all’s well with another 12 months mot . We need a list of MOT stations who understand our cars . Paul

What’s the best procedure to refurb the passenger door capping on my Vitesse , the pic shows the worst section where a layer is peeling . Does that mean the capping were originally veneered Paul

Another vote for Bilthamber products Paul

Might have got a mate to front the bid hoping the lambs will follow , it’s cheap selling fees in relation to its selling price £45 if I’ve read it correctly Paul

It’s received a bid Paul

I fitted this hi level light on my Vitesse see my post 2/3rds on the way down Paul

I used an air pressure switch from a Hoover washing machine connected to the original push button to operate the electric washers. Paul
