[Crash Test Dummies did Italy, Italian Job style]

What doc said !

[Bond GT4s]

I am sure its standard 13/60

[Tyre size]

165 80 13 fill the arches( and are a bit snug on the front ) but usefully raise the gearing. In fact wth a spit 1500 and j type box running through a 411 diff , the speedo over reads by 9 percent.

[Vibration at 45+ mph]

Good work. Ujs are a pet hate. Prob caused by owning heralds !

[bit baffled]

Unbolt the cylinder and slide it forward. Also checkfor play in the pedal bush.

[Spitfire battery failure.]

Buy a conditioning battery charger. Not cheap but good

Garth, do you sell them ?

[13/60 bonnet trim]

Excellent. Will try and sort some. Guess the same as hold the rear light trims on

[13/60 bonnet trim]

Hi . I am restoring my sons 13/60 . Before painting I thgought I had better check the front stainless trim fits. Its a bit erm... tricky. What holds it on, as it keeps popping off at the ends and in the middle. Is it just friction? 

 

looked at Canleys exploded diagram and cant see any clips!

[LVLP Paint Spraying]

I have had reasonable results with a 25 l .Just be patient.   50l is better but a big jump cost wise. The Gun is the most important. Gravity feed uses less air. and is probably less complicated. Use celly and put lots on !

[Herald Convertible. Door striker.]

haha   I have been meaning to fix mine for 20 yrs.....

[Herald Convertible. Door striker.]

yup the square peg sits in the latch plate and holds the door shut. 

[Spitfire 1500 Wheels Refurb or replace?]

I had mine blasted for £40 then painted them with cans. Looked good for about two yrs. now wish i had powder coated them.

[indicator flasher unit]

Usually behind the battery.

[Online publishing ridiculously cheap! TSSC should use it!]

I like the idea of a two price membership. Paper or electronic copy.

[Herald Convertible. Door striker.]

Watch the square peg on the door side. It can wear badly.

[Herald convertible. Seat belt mount.]

I can look at the weekend.

[Herald Convertible. Door striker.]

The old ones are normally fine to reuse. They hold the lock tight and help stop it rattling. They are fairly rubbish though !

[Any plans for more categories ?]

Facebook is way more accesible and instant. I use it a lot. However as an archive its hopeless. We all agree that the loss of the old forum resource was a great Loss. However, lets move on and rebuild this one. I will plug it again on FB . Who wants to write an article for the courier? 

[The Classic Car Show]

The presenters suck. But at least its classics on tv. QW is a grade one twonk and Jodie Kidd is simply dull. No chemistry there at all.

[Hi Torque Starter Motor RAC401 in Spitfire 1500 - Retain the spacer?]

Sounds worthwhile. It has always amazed me how these little triumphs start on low batteries however

[Buying a Triumph GT6 Mk3]

Tssc group will be a godsend

[Buying a Triumph GT6 Mk3]

You are going to get very mixed replies ! Personally i would sort the mechanicals first. That way you can drive it on a private space and see whats shot. When yhe bodyshell is off you have easy access to the defective bits. If you do all the bodywprk then find mech probs you will curse taking it all off again !
