soundrediscovery Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Can anybody recommend a garage or restorer local to LE16? (not far fom the TSSC office) My 1963 Vitesse 6 is in good overall condition but has a number of minor issues which prevent me being able to use it regularly as daily transport. Firstly I would like to see the fuel gauge working, it may just be a bad earth but I am struggling as the dynamo may not be charging correctly either. Secondly I think that I need to get the points/condenser/ignition replaced. Finally I would like to get the carburettors balanced and fully functional as there are some absent hoses and connectors to the air filters. At the moment I do not have the time to get these things sorted myself as I am also working on a 1983 Mini Mayfair and a 1992 Rover 827 Coupe, unfortunately the Triumph was not quite as ready to go as I had been promised :-) Any suggestions/recommendations would be welcome.

soundrediscovery Posted April 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Thanks all. I am pretty sure I read somewhere that the dynamo can be replaced by an alternator from a Rover 200 as the brackets etc fit as a straight swap. As I came across my saved alternator last night I wondered if there is any truth in this recollection or is it an urban myth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 lots of alternators will fit with a few tweeks, not especially heard of teh rover 200. Will need the control box sorting, a bit of connecting wires etc together. here are plenty of guides of how to around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
