Hi Unfortunately the photos are not the best! Photo 1 - From the B Post to the first screw was 50mm, From screw 1 to screw 2 was 200mm then from screw 2 to screw 3 and onwards the is 170mm between screws! I dont know why it was 50mm then 200mm?? Pic 2 shows 170mm and this carried on to the end (screw 6)! Pic 3 - X shows screw holes on edge of inner plinth and 2nd X shows door rubber seal. It might be an Idea just to setup the Rail and using your own judgement drill the holes? I filled the holes with white powder for a better picture??

Hi Dave! Did you want me to take some photos as mine (screws) should still be in place?? Cheers martyn

Hi! Is the Steering Column adjustable on the Vitesse? I just need to either drop it down or move the steering wheel closer to me to allow me to attach all the Electrics and cables to the newly renovated dash? Cheers Martyn

Enough said! I think the answer is no!! Cheers

Hi! Anybody know if a Rover 200(1999 Model) Servo will fit my Vitesse? Sam Shattock has one, and asked if I wanted it?? Cheers Martyn

Hi Jonny! I did some double checking and the Rubber Seal Quarterlight Glass-Front Pair- 8035589, came from "Rimmer Bros" They where Good Quality and fitted okay! I think some people have cut them to make it easier to fit and re-glued them afterwards? I snapped the lower pivot bolt on mine as it had rusted around the nut /spring so it was either taking the Glass out of the frame and fitting a new pivot bolt or as I had a spare quarterlight with a good pivot bolt I fitted that. However I did have to drill out the 2 x top rivets to allow me to take the inner glass frame ot to fit the rubber correctly? I am sure there was something on this, on the site? Cheers martyn

Hi! And Welcome to the Mad House! I purchased some A Frame front quarter light rubbers for my 1966, 1600/6 Convertible from "Canley Classics" at "£68 last year? Pt No 803558/9 pair? Cheers Martyn

Well! the Clutch & Brake master Cylinders arrived yesterday from "Triumph Recycler.com" I fitted both yesterday pm to find that I had no pressure? So I thought about it last night, and removed the New Push Rods and fitted the old Push Rods, took the tunnel off over the gearbox to gain easy access to the Master Slave, whilst I did that I went to empty the old Gearbox oil from 23 years ago, to find that there was'nt any in there anyway!! So I filled it up and checked the Clutch Fork and Rod to see if they were working okay so now I have Brakes and Clutch and they are now working perfectly. Tomorrow I will fit the Tunnel back on, lay the "Old Stock" sound deadner replace the Engine Valance and try and sort out some of the Electrics ready for the Dash! Cheers martyn

Yep! I have both! one for a Canoe and one for a Bicycle!
