I sympathise with those feeling old. I'm 75 ; my brain tells me I'm still 27 but after a couple of hours crawling over or under any of our cars my body tells me it feels like 90. My wife keeps telling me I'm too old for this classic car game! Use it or lose it! Cheers, Dave.

I think the catches are a push fit on the glass so can be removed. Don't know about re-chroming. Cheers, Dave.

Hi Glang. Personal choice because I later swapped out my 1296cc for a 1500 Spitfire engine so no need for any further mods. Cheers, Dave

Fit the 1500 flywheel and clutch. Spacers are needed in the fly wheel mounting holes so that the smaller original bolts can be used. Doing this means that the larger 7 1/4" clutch can be used and it has the correct number of splines to match the J type input shaft. Spacers can be obtained from Canley Classics or Rimmers, I believe.

On my Heralds and Vitesses all tunnel fixing screws have been fitted from inside the car. I know what the Haynes manual says but I've never found it to be the case. Cheers, Dave.

Hi Simon. I'm sure I have a pair of Spitfire long driveshafts complete with vertical links if that's any good to you. I'm in Staffordshire Cheers, Dave.

When I started riding a Triumph Tiger Cub back in 1964 petrol was about half a crown a gallon, so I could get 8 gallons for £1...Oh well..

I did the same to get a half inch washer out of my Vitesse's sump. I was trying to set the distributor drive tolerance at the time...

I have M1144 pads and a brake servo on my 13/60. She stops...even from cold there's a good "bite".

Suggestions for which brand of new tyre for Stag alloys on a PI

I have 165/80 Uniroyals on my 13/60. Can't fault them. -
Baines DX3 are the correct profile, I believe. Cheers, Dave.

The TSSC shop now sell distributors. Electronic or points, with or without tacho drive.

Sorry folks...my faulty memory. I have a 1500 box in my 13/60 and it is indeed an inch longer , but you are right, the mark 4 box is the same length as a Herald box.
-
Worn or loose diff mountings, maybe?
-
I'm not sure about the gearbox length, but I am about needing a larger flange. If you get a new prop it will most likely have a sliding joint at the rear. This gives you more leeway in fitting it. Cheers, Dave.
