Herald Rear Quarter Valance

[blueH]

I am hoping a Forum reader might be able to help me, my Herald 1200 is currently under restoration unfortunately I
have just discovered I am missing the Rear quarter Valance on the N/Side or Passenger side I have the other side
plus the centre part in fibreglass, just wondering if anyone might be able to sell me a Nearside Fibreglass Quarter Valance.
I know they are available from Honeybourne but they are sold in pairs.
Thanks

if you call Honeybourne they will probably make you one, i visited them, its a small friendly honest outfit

Hi, I have spoken to Honeybourne, good news is they can supply just the passenger side
but it is going to take them around 4 weeks to manufacture, would like to get the car ready for
MOT & use and so is there any chance some kind Forum reader might have a spare one lurking in their garage.

figured they would, when i visited they seemed pleasant and my dealings i found them very honest.


I cannt help with a spare though, trying to get mine MOT tested

[oldmetalhead82]

Would it not m.o.t without it as its not stuctural ?

I'm not putting sills on mine for Mot nor will there be a roof! Think this is Ok mine is a convertible

I ran my Vitesse without sill covers for years and had no trouble getting an MOT.  The lower valances at the back are not structural however you would
be left with a potentially dangerous edge?

Apologies to the OP for hijacking the thread - well, slightly, because if his Herald is tested without a rear valence fitted you may have sharp edges on the centre valence or rear overrider exposed, which could be construed as a danger to pedestrians… you never know!! - however: I’ll probably get my 1200 convertible tested with no hood fitted, as I can then drive it to someone who will fit it properly. This shouldn’t affect the test at all.
