Brilliant stuff, much aprecited for all the info received, does anyone have a YT video or something to give guidance as I'm a new to all this.

Thanks for your help, my herald is the 22/50 so comes with the front disc brakes, I saw a note on another website suggesting to lift the body from my herald and put it into the MX5 but again not sure if that will fit yet, the MX5 is pretty much bare so ill get a closer look soon. Thanks

Does anyone know if the mx5 engine wil go into the Herald without too much trouble? I see on a few forums its been done but I can't find a link for the videos or instructions ? Thanks Barry

No they were found in the gearbox casing when emptying the oil unfortunately, i think I'll be looking for another box or go the full haul and do the conversion 🤔

Hi unfortunately I wasn't there at the time but I believe it was from existing gearbox but I'll double check with the garage, however they didn't strip down inside the gearbox as far as I know anyway.

The clutch plate was stuck on so much the gearbox had to be removed to pry off the plate, this was when the 2 very small metal bits were found, the clutch was found to be in good condition so it was then put back together on the hope it would be ok. I'll try drive it today for a bit more of a run as it's a nicer day weather wise lol. I was considering a full conversion with an MX5 complete running gear but again I'm looking for advice on that.

HI I'm new to this site and to Triumph Herald's in general, also please bare with me as I'm not a mechanic either, I have a 1965 Herald 12/50 which is now running and driving, it goes up the gears ok but crunches into 1st and reverse and then crunches coming back down the box. I was told when the clutch was being freed off after sitting a long time there was bits if steel cog teeth in the gearbox oil when it was stripped out then put back together. The clutch now works but was told best to change the gearbox or get it reconditioned, does anyone have a box to fit or even point me in the right direction please, I don't want to spend a fortune on this so working from a bit of a tight budget as this was unexpected. I'm in Leven in Fife Scotland if anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

Hi I'm new from today to this type of forum buy I have a 1965 herald 12/50 model that requires a fair bit of restoring including the skylight folding / sliding roof. I have the old one but it was already removed from the car as it's in such a poor state, is there anyone who has one for sale or even any images or videos so I can actually see how it's meant to look with the mechanism intact ? Appreciate any info recieved
