ahebron Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 Going through my tube of large shiny Vitesse parts today I came across these bits. I was sorting out the trim for the rear of the Vitesse roof with the aim of fitting a high stop brake light into the centre strip. I have no idea what they are from apart from very likely a Triumph. I have owned Mk1 2.5PI Estate, dismantled several Herald saloon, Vitesse Saloons and a Herald Estate. As the clips for fitting the side roof trim are N/A I pout them in a glass jar filled with evapo-rust and then put that in the ultrasonic cleaner which is filled with tap water, I will leave it running overnight. I noticed the US cleaner was running at half power and on investigation found the transducer had dropped a wire which I resoldered and it is back and running full output.

Colin Lindsay Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 Rear trim strips; if they don't fit the Herald saloon roof at the rear pillars, on either side of the rear screen (I don't have a saloon to compare!), I'd also guess they're for the c-posts, so Herald Estate?

ahebron Posted April 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 Thanks Colin. The photo of 2 strips are probably from a Herald Wagon but the 3 strips have me flummoxed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 Trim on the estate goes right around the rear hatch; they may be the pieces for along the rear of the roof. There is a joint piece in the centre of the roof, so it needs two long pieces and of course there are corner pieces as well over the gaps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahebron Posted April 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 Thanks for that Colin, they are most likely from Herald Estate. Your photo proves it Now to find an Estate owner who I can give these to, not that many left in NZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
