    Hi Alex , I did it on my own so keep at it . The springlifter must be at max height and a scissor jack under the link , then to align use a Pointed chisel etc Paul

    What 2k primer are you using . I’ve just purchased HB Body 989 2k Epoxy Primer based on recommendation from the mig welding forum , are you top coating with 2k or Cellulose. Paul

    I thought my mk2 vitesse HC xxxxx had flat piston heads as when testing for TDC with the plugs out and a screwdriver in I couldn’t detect a dome section . If it is domed would there be a telltale tab in the gasket rear Paul

    Yes I’m interested in the bonding application for my Vitesse , both sides of bonnet where the locking mechanism is are poor . Fibreglass cracks appearing . Bonding in a new stepped section and skimming with filler is now worth investigating Paul

    Can’t help with the thread gauge other than mine was secondhand from Spitfire Graveyard and was originally from a Spitfire . Here’s a pic of my setup on my Mk2 Vitesse Paul

    Progress : the door has been rubbed down and filled , the scratch and surface rust areas treated . I’ve progress from 140 grade up to 400grade wet n dry , Just one coat of primer to see if the surface finish is ok ie covering the remaining surface blemishes . I’m happy with the result so far , a few small areas need more work .Next the remaining areas will be prepared with 400 grade and the next coat of primer will go on . One ? How can you tell if the door skin is original . On mine there is some braze welding at the top seal by the hinge plus the odd small weld on the side Paul

    If you opt for the suspension mod remember they are handed . When I purchased mine they were the same and had to be exchanged Paul

    Progress: Checking out the inside of the door found surface rust by the window channel and surrounding areas about 6 ins range . Wire brushed and treated with Bilthamber Hydrate 80 , and now Bilthamber Electrolux ( zinc based primer ) Next coat will be spray can black from Toolstation . Final coating for all the inside will be Bilthamber Dynax s50 which has a 360 wand extension . The door base and lower half still has the factory under seal and pretty much intact . Any breaks in the underseal will be filled in by the Dynax . The chrome trim had been removed and the rusty retaining rivets drilled out .Not sure of the spec and where to purchase When I was stripping out the mechanicals there were signs that I wasn’t the first to strip , bolts instead of posidrive screws and no poly sheeting attach to the window base . On clearing out the debris I found small fragments of shattered window . Paul

    Good Value towbar on EBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Triumph-Herald-Vitesse-Watling-tow-bar-kit-PTR18A-complete-as-new-condition/133468410663? Paul

    The door is now fully stripped to component parts with the quarter light out and top rivet removed . Next job is to kill the internal rust in the door and add a protective coating using Bilthamber products though not sure which products to use yet The rear window channel has a layer of felt which is passed its best. Any ideas where this can be sourced ? Paul

    I have moved to the Huco pull pump which sits alongside the battery in my Vitesse and it’s been a good move . If you consider this as a possibility I’ll dig out the specs and let you know Paul

    Nut sliced and cutting , cleaning thread on the way down . Need to check the thread next . Re the top pivot I was going to drill out Paul
  23. Paul H
    Painting , hopefully rubbers are ok as new ones apart from being expensive don’t fit well . I’m going to hacksaw the nut now Paul
  24. Paul H
    Canleys sell the silent channel , the rear channel looks like its felt glued in so no metal framework Paul
  25. Paul H
    Got the QL out in the end. Seen Rarebits FB and channel isn’t there . Replacement will be necessary . If I cannot remove intact the spring assembly on the air conditioning window what are the options. Paul
