Chris A Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 I have a Vitesse pocket AND a '948 'Chip Basket' on my 1200 http://www.triumphheraldconvertible.co.uk/wordpress/chip-basket/ Apparently, they continued the 'hinges' on the bulkhead and the holes for the catch 'till the end of production C.

Colin Lindsay Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted May 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
