vitesse passenger side scuttle pocket

[Chris A]

Hi all you wonderful Vitesse owners! 😁 Can someone measure up the pocket on the passenger side scuttle for me?

I have a humble Herald and thing the 'luxury fitment' that you have on the vitesse would be useful. I have looked into trying to find one amongst my list of French suppliers but no luck. Buying one in the UK and having it posted here would double the cost so thought why not make something similar. I don't have to copy it exactly but thought it would be a good starting point.

Thanks

Well i have one on my Vitesse and my 13/60... so there!.

I can measure the Herald one in the morning if you like.

If you would be so kind, I assume the Herald one is the same as a vitesse one.

I have a Vitesse pocket AND a '948 'Chip Basket' on my 1200

Apparently, they continued the 'hinges' on the bulkhead and the holes for the catch 'till the end of production

I have one of the chip basket catches, NOS; had it for years... but no basket. Sold it with my 948 before I fitted the catch...

For the chip basket : I have 2 immediate thoughts of what I can use. First is a wire filing basket (I've got 1 I can liberate in my office). Second there is a wire storage thing that slots onto a shelf to give additional storage space under the shelf. There is one that has cans of coke in it (not my coke -yuk! Get Mrs. to drink it up then persuade her not to want any more.)

Now I have two wet weather projects! Roll on winter. What am I saying! Roll on summer first.
