Martin M Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Hi,putting a Vitesse headlamp panel into a 1360 bonnet. Does it work? Someone done it before?Cheers Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elma fud Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Think the wing panels are also different because the head lamps are smaller on the vitesse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 It can be done, but teh wings need cutting and bending up, and a triangle of steel letting in.Vitesse wings have been made this way for over 20 years (that is when I bought a pair of new wings) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin M Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 topic is that it seems to be a challenge to get a decent Vitesse bonnet and I do have a very good Herald one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may well find the wings are 13/60 ones re shaped at the front to lok like Vitesse ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willows40 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Quoted from Martin M topic is that it seems to be a challenge to get a decent Vitesse bonnet and I do have a very good Herald one. I was offered a mk1 vitesse bonnet the other week, not seen it but was told it was very good, could try and contact the person and see if he still has it, he was after about £300 for it..
