jonnyheath Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Hi all can someone tell me if the bonnet springs on vitesse/herald are handed? As in the crank on the opposite end to the hook? I have a pair and both crank the same way, I wouldn't of thought triumph would make them handed? Many thanks jonny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 no only one part number 608500 not handed but often have to be twisted to locate the hooked ends which tend to fight the holes in the levers Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyheath Posted March 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Thanks Pete, I'm looking at getting these remade to original spec in England. It sounds like a handed pair would be better? Regards jonny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68vitesse Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Had some bonnet springs made in stainless a few years ago by a firm in Skegness, the bars were made by a local small engineering firm, one man with a lathe etc. I supplied him with the correct size stainless bar and the left hand taps and dies all I had to do was weld the ends on.

Colin Lindsay Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 How long ago? I bought a stainless pair at the International in the early 1990s, and never saw any others until last year on eBay. Were yours made that long ago, Paul? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68vitesse Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Had the springs made in 2010, they weren't on ebay last year. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
