johny who knows no history all i can say someone looked after it,. best chassis i have ever had no welding original paint under waxoil . few body issues but not much , think was probably laid up due to the box

thank you for input , have purchased the box my thinking can be no worse than the one i have fitted spoils the drive of the car . see what clutch kit i have when i pull the box paul

as mentioned on a previous post my gearbox is noisy . from a 1500 dolomite attached to a 1500 engine. my question is will a spitfire 1300 all synchro box go straight in clutch wise , non overdrive box paul

anyone know what the product is mentioned in last post by nonmember paul

i normally apply 2 coats of high build 2k primmer then the cellulose . others may do it differently but it works for me paul

going by my vitesse that looks like triumph white. old english more creamer . having sprayed at least 20 cars with cellulose over the past 10 years i can say all makes differ in finnish and application , have just used some from a company called craftmaster paints on ebay must say very impressed good finish easy to spray paul

the rear screen rubber looks like the original not leaking at present but cracked and has gone hard, best left alone or can you still buy new rubber and how hard to change . done loads of fronts easy. is the rear similar to replace. side glass rubber is similar condition so will need doing . only had convertibles so saloon roof side of things new to me paul

sure the speedo is spitfire mk1-2 other no idea

had a look hubs discs calliper sorry no spacings

hi may have some will take a look tomorrow broke a 1600 vitesse and early herald last year , not sure if i kept them paul

i like the gauge with the oil pressure incorporated just cant place what car it was fitted too , shame i had no history with the car was well looked after at some point in its life no welding on the chassis from new .

3 rail box

ok got bit private straight road will give it a go pete

very good

just curious anyone know what car the other gauge is from

planning to have a look saturday hoping that maybe the speedo has been calibrated can only hope paul

well looking like a rebuild not a 1600 vitesse . the problem is it may well have been set up for the diff, as my previous post no history with the car other than a hand written note book that looks years old stating 1500tc engine gearbox uprated diff have yet to find out what diff i have , can say very very fast off the line as a mini cooper driver found out on my first run on public roads sunday, he actually flashed me to pull over asking what the hell engine i had , stating could not be a 12/50 as badged. was peed off that a herald had out run him and going up hill. still not been out on a main drag yet so may well run out of steam at 50mph once i get my speedo sorted will know . paul

may have to get in touch with them danmi.

had a go today seized solid , looking at it it is different from the herald 13/60 hole for main beam screw type mileage counter , any idea what car it came from . paul

left some light oil socking overnight see what happens

thank you going to have a go freeing it tomorrow if not then a good used i feel is the way to go .

the cable looks the same as the broken one length wise part that goes into speedo ,seems to slot in fine then screws up as it should ?

just been out if i shake the speedo the needle moves

just to make sure i am right in thinking with the gear box end removed and i turn the cable the speedo should flicker at present will not even move cable solid .remove from speedo turns freely .

ok so seems like speedo is the problem will have a good look at that its from a 13/60 has a vitesse dash fitted paul
