Vitesse mk2 front chassis extension

[JohnKR]

hi, 

recently bought myself a Vitesse mk2 convertible, and have just discovered some old accident damage to the RH front extension (the box section extending from under the engine to the front tube). The tell-tale was the bonnet alignment ... obvious in hindsight, of course!

Does anyone have a RH front extension (or a LH/RH pair would be even better) that they'd be willing to part with. I think I'm right in saying the Herald 13/60 has the same chassis layout at the front, so Herald part would be fine. 

I'd be happy with NOS or recycled sections - but it must be straight!

Failing that ... any leads on where I might find one (tried Canley's). 

Thanks

John

Try Chic Doig John...

Chic Doig certainly had the entire cross-bar available for a long time, remanufactured but I don't know if he makes the extension legs - however it wouldn't surprise me given some of the intricate parts he's had remade over the years. 

He's currently selling the entire front second, used:

Thanks both, 

I've already looked at the eBay item (I mean I bought it and returned it!) - it doesn't have the full extension which I need at least for the RH side. However, I've been back to Chic Doig today and he's taking a look through his treasures - so, I'm hoping I'll get lucky!
