I found a handy Tool in our Bathroom cupboard, When your cleaning off the stubborn deposits I used my Wife’s Sonic Plaque remover which worked wonders and didn’t scratch the surfaces. Obviously get your own and don’t tell my wife!

Thanks Chaps, looks like a case of Measure Twice Cut once! But a good starting point,Much appreciated.

Many Thanks Paul and Glang, duly noted.👍

Thanks Clive, I’ve looked at both sets and they look basically identical.

Hi, I have available on my Midge Which has Herald 1200 running gear, the Brake and Clutch Master Cylinders which are in good serviceable condition. They look remarkably similar to my 13/60 ones that I I am replacing So the question is can I Use ones from a 1200 on a 13/60? I know these cars can be Bitsas!  As the Head was off a Spit Apparently!

Simple Economics! Minimum wages have gone up ! So they need to cover the extra expense! But I’m sure the Prices will Fall 😱when the Tax cuts come just before the election 😷

I’ve Got Babies! , the Triumph is Covered up with extra Tarps and Mr And Mrs Robin didn’t mind! So a few Weeks of feet up enjoying some more Greek beer as I’ve just found a plentiful local supplier!

Happy Easter Six! and room for more and the 13/60 is Stuck underneath and I’m stuck in the garden with my feet up enjoying a Mythos( Greek Beer) waiting for a cunning plan!

And then there was Four! Apparently a clutch can be up to 10 or 12 at least I’ve done the Clutch already just need to find the jet hose for when the little ones arrive Sh#t everywhere! Joy!

Update ! There’s now 3 Eggs I know it’s Easter but it will be May before these Squatters move out!

Hi Steve, Welcome but don’t admit you’re From Kent! There’s a Good Group of Triumph owners over here in East Sussex where we won’t be Druv. Currently in the custodian of a Coal Tits Nest with Egg located in my Bulkhead ! See Too Long in Lounge Bar!

Apparently it’s a Coal Tit.

I was waiting for the weather to warm up! Just thought I might do something with the Bulkhead! Turns out somethings beaten me to it may be a Robin or some other Troglodyte! Back to the Lounge Bar for a Beer!

I got a cunning plan! I could cover the Herald Midge Thing in a blanket and they could find it, do it up, sell it! And the £3.50 they make can be spent on the 13/60!Job done. and more space for bits!

Signed👍My cars not been taxed since August 1995!

Thanks John, Wendy and Clive. Duly noted  I should have mentioned that Confusion rules! Because when taking bits apart many a time  it was 10 mm 12mm them 3/8 th or 7/16ths But that’s the Fun of Triumphs.Like I said Nuts!

Yep, I know I am! But is it possible to purchase a job lot of Nuts and Bolts washers etc of the stainless variety that will be best suited for a rusty 13/60 and favourite suppliers?! Many thanks.

Whilst replacing the bushes on the front end I had to remove the arm and discovered that the bolts holding the arm on were as corroded as can be seen! New bolts and shims cleaned up. So it’s worth checking the stuff you can’t see!

Ordered today Thursday at 12:00 and we’re in the post By 14:00 from Mr RetroLeads. So definitely worth noting for future reference.

Thankyou, much appreciated.

When putting pen to paper The answer was obvious just ask the supplier! But when your like me me and have been affected by a stroke you need a bit off guidance from the experienced community. So 13/60 plug leads : Standard: Silicone: Lumenition Silicone Blue! Other! I know check the book! But are they Top or Side Entry just getting confused! And is there a preference to supplier price wise! Many thanks Adrian.

Plus the Selective hearing you gain when over 60! It’s Heaven!

The vehicle covered with the black tarp is the JC Midge which I also have to keep me busy! Eventually it might look like a 1930s MG Midget but with Herald 1200 engine and chassis.

Yep but who’s counting! And now thankfully I don’t have to wait for a nice dry warm day to unwrap the re wrap the 13/60. I’ve enclosed my rear drive and put a roof over it and can now go and hide from the wife! jobs done so far,Engine stripped and rebuilt, new clutch, brake pipes front to rear, two cross members and a side rail attached Old rust taken away and new rust! Obtained. But now I don’t have to keep covering up and uncovering hopefully things can progress,Joy!

IF these chaps were around now and had access to the Forum would they have written the following:

Richard 3rd “ A Herald, A Herald! My Kingdom for a Herald!

Churchill. Rust! We will beat it on the Wings! We will Beat it on the Front! We will never surrender to Rust!

Harold Macmillon on completing his restoration! “We’ve Never had it so good”!

Neil Armstrong in his GT 6 “ “That was one small step for me! One Giant leap for Mankind “!

He hasn’t said this but he might have.. King Charles 3rd “Rishi are you and me the only two able to afford to complete a renovation on a Triumph?”
