Would a pair of these ramps be of any use The long ramp is detachable and the first level is 12 ins extending to 17 ins . Very robust and very heavy . I’m localism to you . pm me if of interest Paul

Here’s a close up , made by Daimler and I think a V8 Paul

Yes I have another Gun for cellulose 1.3 tip. Paul

Just seen a Ferret in our road It’s a local vehicle and the owner said he doesn’t have any issues parking at Tesco’s Paul

My rule is 15c minimum for Primers, and 17c minimum for top coats Paul

I use Hydrate 80 and Deox Gel . Both products are good Paul

With the weather nicely warming up it was time to spray the Vitesse door with 2 coats of 2k Epoxy primer surfacer using my new gun which for a cheapie I was well impressed with the result . Purchased from Spray Guns Direct with 1.8 tip and a 2.0 . I used the 1.8 for this job. https://www.spraygunsdirect.co.uk/index.php/a-n-i-f1-ns-budget-gravity-spraygun.html#sthash.L5gbjzk6.dpbs Spraying is completely new to me as well as body filling and it’s been a time consuming baptism of fire , this being the first time I’m satisfied with the result The door needs to cure overnight and ready for next sanding session tomorrow I can recommend the gun and the HB Body 989 Epoxy system Paul

One thing I have learnt is to spray the room with a generous dose of fly spray . Vacate and return 15 mins later . Less chance of a foreign body landing on new paint Paul

Thanks Colin . I’ll be able to do a dry run to check out before cellulose spraying Paul

Hi Colin , if I fit the quarter light then spray I will have to fit the window ? Here’s a pic of glass removal and the position of quarter light . I like the idea of prefitting and sorting the gaps before spraying . Paul

Hi , with the warmer weather I can start to continuing respraying a spare passenger door . The door has been completely stripped as window guides are being replaced. What’s the best approach for applying the top coat which is cellulose in my case . Do I add the quarterlight before cellulose spraying . Do I add winding gear , window before cellulose spraying . Window weather rubbers going on after painting . Any advice to a newbie welcome Paul

Here’s a pic of the adjustment nut on the front section of the quarterlight . There’s about 20mm adjustment though whether the nut will slide is debatable due to rust . This nut does move now but too some persuasion to start . The sticking point is the curve in the channel Paul

Welcome to the forum , we’re a friendly bunch and a lot of knowledge is out there just for the asking. Check out this link https://www.tssc.org.uk/tssc/cars_final.asp?model_ID=19 Apart from GT6 info there is a buyers guide I own a Vitesse mk2 and there will be some GT6 owners ready to chat

Bit late to the party on this one This is what my Vitesse looks like . The corner of the bracket is just proud of the Rigger like PeterH Paul

Out of interest how much is the CV conversion nowadays . Paul

A long shot is it for a MGB GT? My son has one lost in the post Paul

I’ve fitted a Huco replacing the mechanical pump . If you choose this route more than happy to forward details on my Installation for my Vitesse Paul

I use a 40 watt solar panel plus cheap regulator to charge my battery . You need a regulator to control to input voltage which can be as high as 21volts on a sunny day Paul

Hi looking for a drivers door for my Vitesse, either complete or just the bare door . Surface rust and small dents ok Paul

Triumph Herald 1200 in Wedgewood Blue, 1967, 42,460 miles.https://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/triumph-herald-1200-in-wedgewood-blue-1967-42460-miles/1400104264? Paul

Just noticed this on Facebook , Rarebits “ I've finally pushed forward with a product I have been planning for some time. Windscreen seals for the Triumph Herald 948 Saloon and Courier Van have been unavailable for some years. This is the simple fluted design which does not use a shiny filler strip. I have provisional pricing on producing tooling for these to be extruded in high quality EPDM. The material will match what has been used in recent years for my Herald Coupe windscreen and Herald Estate side window seals. These will be supplied as a cut length of 3.2metres,to be trimmed for exact fit on installation. Price is estimated at £50 per seal, plus carriage. If you have a need for one of these, please add a reply to this message so that I can gauge interest in producing a small run of these.” Paul

Saw these on Gumtree https://www.gumtree.com/p/car-replacement-parts/triumph-herald-estate-/1399718947 Paul

I fitted the ClubShop conversion on my Vitesse mk2 and the Gaz shockers are set at 2 any higher and the rear just bounces around Paul

Ive done the same modification on my Vitesse with all 4 lights on dip , I have an inline fuse which is removed for MOT which reverts to outers only on dip Paul nb the added relays make the world of difference
