  1. https://www.barons-auctions.com/view-auction/45/20-apr-2021---spring-classic? Paul
  2. Not sure what thickness I used as away from the Vitesse think it was 2mm Paul
  3. I did the interior of my Vitesse . All the floor space plus bulkhead where available and practical . With the benefit of hindsite and more research I could have saved up to 50% Paul
  4. Welcome to the forum , lots of help here . Can we see some pics Paul
  5. Silentcoat from Amazon or EBay , cut shape with scissors and heat with hot air gun . I used a wallpaper seam roller to smooth the silentcoat into the contours of the body Paul
  6. A word of caution on Dynamator , an alternator in a Dynamo case . My one lasted 2 weeks before it failed . Apparently they get hot and can over heat . I did get a replacement which I sold on eBay Paul
  7. I used draught excluder from Lidl about £3 for 5 metres . Agree the Club Shop one is not worth the monies Paul
  8. Not sure if this link helps https://www.club.triumph.org.uk/menu/6023/item/609652/view Paul
  9. My Vitesse mk2 has 2 switches , reverse on the front left and od inhibitor on the front right . It’s a D type OD
  10. I’ve got a similar one for my Vitesse . Works well , also has blue tooth Paul
  11. Hi Pete . Can you tell the difference between polished cellulose and clear coat over cellulose apart from the hard work with the celly 😋 Paul
  12. I went for Girling NOS and they have a high price tag nowadays Paul
  13. I used a magnet on a telescopic wand . The Vitesse required circlip removal which is out of sight , used a cheap 5 ins diameter mirror to view the clip . Worked well Paul
  14. I think it cost £300 plus . My modern has lots of small chips on the bonnet . Not down to the metal and wondered if a self applied ceramic coating would have prevented / reduced the chips .‘I’ve seen ceramic coating products which cost £30 to £100 just wondered if they were of any use Paul
  15. If the door is similar to my Vitesse door I removed each bolt , photographed in place , put in a plastic bag with a ref no then photographed again with the plastic bag in the photo . You will need to disconnect the winder before the window can be removed . For the Vitesse the 1/4 light needs removal before the window can be removed . Also all the trim / clips . when reassembling the window can be dropped to its lowest point and the 1/4 light refixed for spraying Paul
  16. Do these ceramic products work ? If so which products are recommended. Do they give some protection against stone chips Paul
  17. I purchased new from a similar source though no vernier scale Paul
  18. I think a new Watling is about £160 and if I was doing it again I would be purchasing new instead of second hand . Paul
  19. Slight thread drift Colin , where did you buy the 45d with vernier scale Paul
  20. Which tow bar have you got ? Mine is a Watling Here’s a link to a tow bar thread plus fitting instructions for the Watling . The other type is a witter tow bar which will require the rear bumper to be drilled to accept the towing hitch . The more popular is the Watling as no bumper modification is required and is still in production and available from the Club Shop Paul
  21. I would also use the Frost Metalprep as well as this treats any rust . To dry out I used a hot air blower Paul
  22. Hi looking to restore these CD’ s for my Vitesse . The links are damaged . What replacements can be recommended Paul
  23. Yes it’s a fibre glass insert with a sliding seat and a sliding rack for tools . It’s approx 2/3 height . It’s a mech mate , www.mech-mate.co.uk. it’s a great bit of kit , if you need more detailed info let me know Paul
