  1. Hi Pete I’ve bought some from you and it’s quality . I made a new headlining for the sunroof for my Vitesse and to keep the Vitesse on the road looking for scrap headlining for a template Paul
  2. When I bought mine from the Club Shop they looked the same as original ie Matt finish . Is there a way of telling they are silicone ? Purchased them at Duxford a couple of years ago Paul
  3. Anybody got a scrap / damaged headlining that could be used as a template for a Herald / Vitesse ? Paul
  4. Is there a Trico model for the Herald/Vitesse or will B6 fit ? Paul
  5. I’m with Peter James paying a similar amount for my Vitesse . It’s the agreed value and salvage retention which is important to me Paul
  6. I’ve seen good reports for Rustbuster 2pack epoxy mastic . The nearest colour being Royal Blue https://www.rust.co.uk/product/cat/em121-epoxy-rust-proofing-paint/ Paul
  7. I purchased a NOS Roof for my Vitesse some time ago as part of a long term rebuild . Started cleaning the roof today and the surface rust is cleaning up nicely . My Vitesse has a sunroof as does the NOS roof. Once done it’s Rustbuster FE-124 Rust Converter then a few coats of HB Body 989 2pack Epoxy Primer. The roof still has the strength bar in the rear window to keep the roof rigid in storage . The remains of the Stanpart Label Paul
  8. I’ll send a pic tomorrow Paul
  9. Mk2 Vitesse , spin on filter , no oil Cooler Paul
  10. Best source is https://www.distributordoctor.com/ The genuine article Paul

    Sump plug leak

    I had the same issue and reverted back to the tapered plug Paul
  12. Hi Steve , so it’s a case of levering out the horn push in situ ? Paul
  13. I need to replace the pencil horn push and realign the Triumph logo . Can’t remember if the horn push assembly can be removed without removing the steering wheel ? It’s not the standard boss . Paul
  14. As a follow on the pistons are different on the Girling and TB3 so Girling rubbers won’t fit . The pics below show the end rubbers and the Girling seems more substantial which supports the theory my issues could have been rubber seepage . Whilst the piston had corrosion there was corrosion in all of the piston cylinder . Just bought 2 Girling NOS Brake Cylinders for £15 each Paul
  15. Thanks Trigolf , I didn’t realise CV shafts don’t need the additional bracket Paul
  16. I have converted my Vitesse mk2 to vertical shocks using the kit from the Club Shop . The hardest part for me was fitting the top brackets which go between the body shell and the chassis so you need to have to undo the chassis bolts and Jack up the body which in most cases will be very difficult . I did manage to raise the body but not enough so the brackets needed drifting in . I’ve stayed with doughnuts purchased from Canleys and so far ok Paul
  17. Is the red rubber grease ok with silicone Paul
  18. My thoughts Steve , mine were repros so replacing with NOS Girling Paul
  19. The corrosion was throughout and now scrap . This is the state of the cylinder Paul
  20. I changed rear brake cylinders about 5 years ago just stripped down to replace the rubbers as moving across to Silicone . Good job I did this as one cylinder was seized solid They were new when fitted . The brand was TB3 . I’ll clean out and see if the surface is corroded . Any suggestions as to a reliable replacement ? What causes the corrosion , the other 1 again new was fine Paul
  21. I had similar issues so went the Huco route . Paul
  22. Hi there’s a set of these on EBay , anybody know if they would be suitable for the saloon except the saloon needs 4 bars whereas the estate needs 5 Paul
  23. I bought a new Delco copy with electronic ignition from SimonBBC for my Vitesse cost about £90 . It does have a tachometer drive . Having a vernier would have been preferable and the moulding looks a tad crude though 4 years on its working fine for me . I do carry a spare electronic ignition just in case cost about £30 At the time I compared this price against a Lucas recon from Dist Doctor cost about £250 and this was for points Paul
  24. I clip the 2 rear seat belts ( lap belts) together and clip the dog harness to the seat belt joined section Paul
