  1. These slots are horizontal , I thought it was wear as the rear mounting bolts were not very tight when I removed the diff. Examining them they all appear very similar.
  2. I've got the diff out my Vitesse at the moment. Can anyone tell me what shape the top mounting point (rear mountings nearest the back of the car) bolt holes are suppose to be please? I ask because all four holes for the two mountings on mine are round with a slot in them, they are all the same. I;m wondering why.
  3. Yes, still working on what that should be at the moment.
  4. I had a look at it, it is very very good.
  5. I'll go and have a look at it.

    Herald 13/60

    Has anyone looked at Mathewson's web site for the July auction? Lot212 a very nice Herald.
  7. Thanks, I did visit and decided it was worth £2500 0f my pounds. I did bid but it sold for a bit more.
  8. Any thoughts on the Toledo, lot 494 at Mathewson's?
  9. Thanks, yes I thought that it would be fun to refit when I was dropping mine out.
  10. What price are Fitchetts charging for a diff?
  11. Oh yes, I will clean everything first and access what needs to be replaced etc. I'm leaning towards a replacement diff. I will inspect the spring and lubricate it at least, I only want to put it back once.
  12. Do you need anything special to put the spring back?
  13. Right, I've given this a good looking at and have disconnected the shock absorber, u/j bolts brake cable and flexi brake pipe on one side. I conclude that with both shocks disconnected the leaf spring is basically just bolted to the diff. I think that's right?
  14. On this subject I need to remove the diff from my Mk1 Vitesse. I also want to remove the rear road spring. The manual talks about inserting a bar for tensioning the spring or something. I'm unsure what is meant by this.
  15. Thanks for your reply Colin. Yes, I'm after the original factory fit choke cable. The car came to me with what looked like a 1980's Marina/ Allegro style cable on it.
  16. Yes, James Paddock have it listed but the system won't let an order be placed as they are out of stock. Rimmer's are also quoting back order on the item. I really want to put the right choke cable on (mk1 Vitesse 2.0 litre)
  17. Next question does anyone have a 401458 mk1 choke cable for sale please?
  18. I've never heard that word lalochezia before. Thanks for the part number.
  19. Does anyone know the part number for a choke cable on a Vitesse mk1 please?
  20. Is the Melamine lacquer cellulose?
