I bought two side seals from Canleys many years ago; they came in a roll that is cut to size around the glass. I don't think anyone has complete original seals.

The seal is still listed as 704786 or 704787 and is now NLA in their catalogue.

If I can I'll nip out later today and get some photographs / measurements of the profile; I'm almost sure I have original seals still attached to the side window glass. Probably too far gone to be reuseable but I'll see if I can get up to the roofspace and again examine the profile.

Thanks Colin I'll contact Canley's just in case. 

No need to get me photo's thanks, I've already got some old seals that aren't good enough to put back.

[herald estate rear side window seals]

Hi All,

I've got to the stage with my Vitesse estate 'recreation' that I need to fit the glass. 

I need to fit new rear side window seals........where have people got replacements from, so far I've tried 'Seals direct' who have a profile that would work but it's not big enough.

So, help/advise required please.

Thanks scrapman. that might be my problem, i'm using the vitesse loom which will have the interior light at the N/S B pillar. No problems just another hurdle..........Ta

[herald estate interior light]

Hello guy’s.

I’m about to install a new headliner into a herald estate (well it’s a Vitesse really but that will confuse the issue!!). but before i do can someone tell me where to run the interior light wires.

[Vitesse rear spring/diff cover plate]

Thanks All.

I've cut out the offending middle section and going to weld in a top hat section. I'm just anal like that!!!.

[Vitesse rear spring/diff cover plate]

Hi All,

 I have added a ¾” lowering spacer with longer studs to my Vitesse project, the standard inspection cover plate now foul’s on the studs.

Bill at ‘Rarebits’ used to sell a modified cover for this but sadly he seems to be winding down his operation. Does anyone know of another seller of a similar modified cover. Iv’e tried the usual suspects!!.

[Vitesse shocks with CV driveshafts]

Hi All,

As part of my current Vitesse Mk2 restoration I will be replacing the rotoflex driveshaft’s with CV types as I have done on my convertible. I’ll also be replacing the lever dampers with shocks.

I’m lead to believe that I won’t need to add the extension bracket for the top shock mount as I don’t now have a rubber doughnut that I need to clear. So, my question is what shock absorbers do I need (if at all different) because the top position will have changed.

Has anyone done this………..

[Mk2 Vitesse shocks]

Cheers Clive, I wasn't sure that the bottom shock mount on a Rotoflex hub would be in the same position as Mk1 Vitesse's etc. thereby requiring a different length of shock.

[Mk2 Vitesse shocks]

Hi all,

      I am about the strip and rebuild the rear suspension and drive shafts of a Mk2 Vitesse. I will be replacing the Rotoflex shafts with CV ones and the lever dampers with shocks. The normal approach is the fit the extension bracket for the top shock mount so that the shock itself doesn’t foul the doughnut. But, seeing as I won’t have a doughnut I believe I can use the existing top mount on the chassis. So, my dilemma is….what shock absorber do I need…has anyone else done this???

[Old forum information]

A question to any of the moderators and/or COM members, do I assume that the ‘emptiness’ of this new forum means that we have lost all of the many years of data and useful information that was held in the old forum???
