Just to finish this off I took the rad to Bryan (really nice guy and very knowledgable) as per Richard’s recommendation and he did a cracking job. (see picture). Rad now back on car and one pleased customer many thanks again for all the advice and recommendations M

Thanks Neil, It did seem a bit high to me. I think I may give Bryan a go, as my rad was certainly not as damaged as your one. Just have to get it off the car now! M

Many thanks Richard, I have no idea who Dan is either. Put it down to old age! 🙄

Thanks for the info. I am hoping to stay original if I can Dan, I’m in SE area London, Kent way. Easy to get to Sussex and Surrey

Hi Neil, I have just received a quote from Aaron to refurb my Herald’s rad. They have quoted £295+vat. They do look very good at what they do, as your post confirms, but it looked a little steep to me. Could I be cheeky and ask how much your work cost? Does anyone else have any suggestion? Many thanks

Thanks Richard, really helpful

Thanks Clive. I think it’s an 039 code with the terminals closer to the bulkhead. I will take a look at the Tanya website which looks helpful. It appears they recommend the 063 coded battery.

Thanks for this Tony, I will definitely check out this company

Hi, The battery that I have had on my Herald 13/60 for the last 14 years has finally expired. (Nothing lasts forever these days!) I currently have a Bosch Silver 12v 43Ah 390A. It is a post fitting and I have had a look in Halfords but can’t find an exact equivalent. Looking for advice on the best cost effective replacement so recommendations welcome. My car has no fancy gadgets (not even a radio) so doesn’t have a particularly big draw. All advice gratefully received many thanks M

Hi, Can anyone recommend a good company to rebuild a Herald 13/60 engine? It’s for a friend of mine who wants a pro rebuild rather than a replacement unit He is in the South East but that needn’t be an issue Many thanks

Brilliant! Thanks Paul

Is that landrover freelander studs?

Thanks for all the advice. Will give the minilites and longer studs a look.

Thanks Paul, very helpful indeed

Hello, Can anyone please tell me where I can get a gasket set for this pump? I can see it’s an AC but I don’t know what model it is and it’s weeping petrol many thanks M

Hello, I have a 68 Herald 1360 convertible and it’s time to change my tyres. This has started me thinking about changing the wheels too (for a change) options as follows 1 Wires. Look lovely but are fiddly to keep clean and very expensive so I have discounted this 2 Minilites. I quite like the look of these. Much cheaper than the above, look nice, easy to fit a modern tyre 3 Stick with my old wheels and change the trim. Currently have the holes but could buy slots. What would look nice would be Vitesse Rostyle caps but I am not sure if these would fit? (Answers gratefully accepted) Finally I think my tyres have tubes but I have no idea why or if they are necessary? My very first car was a 66 soloon and had not tubes so I’m a bit confused. Again advice sought So I’m looking for advice on the best route and what to watch out for. Many thanks M

Thanks for the info, all very helpful I couldn’t understand why the replacement looked so different

Thanks Pete, yes they are both the same pump just one was a close up. Thanks for the advice I just hadn’t seen this type of pump for sale

Hi, I am confused. I bought a replacement fuel pump for my 1360 and it’s not the same as the one on the car (see photos). Is this a pump from a different Triumph?

Gentlemen, many thanks for all the advice, this is really helpful and I now have lots of different avenues to pursue. I will let you know

Thanks Ben (and Ron for that matter). This is a really comprehensive answer. I could clean the original and cut it down, but this was the part that was weeping in the first place so I would have to find a way to seal the copper pipe/brass nut interface properly I think I would still like to get a replacement part if possible

I really need some help as this is messing with my brain! I now have a shiney new pump (see pic) and as per the thread want to change the copper feed to rubber. To that end I have purchased some brass (and steel) connectors (see pic). The trouble is they go in half a turn then quickly tighten up. I have kept the old copper pipe connector (see last pic) which goes in pretty freely. I can only think the new thread must be different (metric compared to AF, BSF, or whatever imperial thread was on the original??) Can anyone let me know where I can get the right connector and indeed what to order? Many thanks in advance

Thanks Pete, I will take a look
