A TR7 16V Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I've got a 12/50 bonnet and was wondering what I need to fit the front grill and panel from a 1200, other than the grills and panel? Also, I there any issues I need to know about fitting the 12/50 bonnet and boot on the 13/60? That is, other than some won't think it's a good idea. I prefer it, and it ain't like I've got a very original car. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPearce Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I don't think there's much difference between 12/50 and standard Mk2 1200 bonnets. The 13/60 has different hinge points with (I think) differences in the chassis to match. It's much more similar to the Vitesse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A TR7 16V Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 Quoted from RobPearce- The 13/60 has different hinge points with (I think) differences in the chassis to match. It's much more similar to the Vitesse. I looked at the bonnet pivot tubes for both 12/50 and 13/60 and they're the same part number, so I assumed mounting were the same for them (621479). Have I got that wrong? Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPearce Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Oh, well, I could be wrong. I've not owned a 1200 so I only know what I've heard from others. Actually, thinking about it, my mate Tom's 1200-bodied Vitesse might be on a Vitesse chassis, which would suggest you're right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A TR7 16V Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 I'm a bit surprised I can't find anything on the subject on line. I would have thought somebody would have done it one way or the other. But I can't think of a search string that gets aught. Still the bonnet, two doors, and boot lid came with 4 wheels attached. So I'm sure I'll be able to work it out. Looking at the job, I wonder if I'll need to use the 12/50 front valance as well. That's not in the best of condition on one side. But I see they can be sourced on ebay. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
