Clive

We could take a very short detour on the way to the Club dinner if that helps?

A rather damp afternoon, but a lovely route without too many puddles. A handful of Triumphs, most came in modern tat. Cakes and tea aplenty🙂

Sam, you can PM Richard, and he will then be able to reply. Noobies can't initiate PMs after a few nasty experiences last year.

referring to the canley diagram, No31 is the door glass channel. That is the bit that can rot, but if yours is good, it isn't the issue. The glass can lift out of the channel too, originally it was pressed fit into the channel with some rubber gasket to grip it, but often replaced with sealant/adhesive. Next are 2 "prongs" of the mechanism that fit into that channels slots. These are retained in the slots and a leather washer and a spring clip (38 and 39) which you can't see as they are between the channel and the doorskin. If either of the prongs can be pulled out from the channel, that is your issue. If you want to remove the doorglass (the channel stays on) yu need to remove the rubber weatherstrop from the door, undo the 2 spring clips and washers (38/39) then you will be able to remove the door glass. Study a pic of those clips so you know what you are "feeling for" and how to undo them.

First thing is to remove the doorcard so you can see the issue. Often the glass channel has rotted away, or the mechanism has popped out. For a proper manual, try https://vitessesteve.co.uk/Servicemanuals Any herald or vitesse manual will do, the window mechanisms are all the same. Canleys have a parts diagram which may be of help https://www.canleyclassics.com/?catalogue=triumph-herald-13/60&diagram=triumph-herald-13/60-door-assembly

We are looking at Newhaven/Dieppe out, as it is only an hour to Rouen. And Newhaven is 30 mins from our house. Return Dunkirk/Dover. Gill has been sorting hotels....

We don't have one, and I am not getting anywhere with getting one for CT.

It was rehomed in November

There is some non setting sealant in there, which has probably gone rather hard after 50 years. So drill the rivets out, and then tease the capping off. I would clean off the old sealant, and use something like a gutter sealant or similar. Silicone sealants will make it VERY hard to ever remove it again. The original stuff was probably sealastic or dumdum

The issue I have is more to do with glasses slipping/falling off once I am inserted upside down into the dash.... Or the light moving and shining directly at me.

You cannot edit until you join the Club, just one of the many good reasons to join. So I have edited the title for you.

I had a great day. Part of the huge "CT community stall" which seemed to serve up vast amounts of tea to various waifs and strays, as well as feeding them biscuits. I was curious about the route my satnag took me, until the reasons became clear. I guess anybody who didn't look at google maps or had a clever satnag would have had issues, but not exactly rocket science. As others who had stalls have said, it all seemed to have worked fine. Our stall was reallocted slightly, no bad thing as it was bigger than anticipated. I sold/rehomed some stuff, didn't buy any Triumph parts but did stock up on some thinners,brake cleaner and bought some nice Presto drill bits. I'll be back next year.

http://www.mintylamb.co.uk/gearspeed/ Use that site, put in all the correct parameters etc. If unsure, top gear no overdrive is always one to one, so can remove the different OD options.

It must be the switch.

I think your connections are correct, Check your fuses, and that you have 12V on that purple wire. Brown/red is from the main dash light switch.

If the same switch (some don't have a flash facility) there should be another live connection so the flash function works without the dash light switch being on. (that may be the brown/red? no manual handy at the moment)

Did it flash before?

I am organising a drive followed by tea/coffee/cakes to Aldingbourne Trust (near Goodwood) https://www.aldingbournetrust.org/ It will start just north of Brighton (exact location TBA) at 1pm to leave at 1.15pm on Sunday 25th Feb. The route will be approx. 35 miles and arriving at the cafe 2.30pm. Last time we visited we were supplied with PLENTY of cakes and hot drinks. The cost will be £6.95pp paid direct at the cafe. If you wish to visit the main centre, there is an additional entry fee, but as they close at 4pm, there is little time to do anything but chat while eating cake. Some people did squeeze a quick visit to the shop though.... Unfortuanately no dogs are allowed into the centre. If you would like to join us, please contact me or leave a reply here

Never seen such a tiny mixer. A normal sized one (eg Belle) used by just about all builders would happily cope with a spitfire or herald tank strapped to it. The 2nd one is a nightmare!

mk2 GT6 (or GT6+ in the USA) had commission number KC50001 up, and were introduced in 1966. So your document is correct. However, the body and engine number are from an earlier car. Does the chassis have rotoflex? (lower wishbones at the back, or even just the brackets for them) But the obvious answer is the car and "title" do not belong to each other. There are other possibilities, things may have got swapped around over the past 50+ years and so on.

Been in contact.

I liked the way some nice chaps in a dolomite responded when I gave them a bottle of brake fluid (their car was slowly losing fluid, their spare had run out at Pimperne) I was offered cash there and then, or replacement when I next saw them. I declined, I was more than happy to help and had just scoffed cakes and a cuppa or 2. Happy days.

The opening time was in the email we sent all members. 7.00pm That time should mean most people can be at home.

It will fit the head. BUT it will not fit with the single carb manifold. The single downpipe manifolds are common to spitfire and herald 1300 so should be easy to find, though studs are often an issue. Also worth noting the twin downpipe manifolds are notorious for blowing gaskets.

I wonder where they got the notion of a Spitfire with a Ford engine?
