Posting on behalf of a neighbour. If I was not in the middle of a Vitesse restoration I would have had it myself. 

Help please. 

Has anyone got a Herald /Vitesse front handbrake cable they can measure for me. I need to know the length. I moved the handbrake  back to fit a 5 speed ford Type9  gearbox conversion. The original cable was broken and partly missing so I have no reference to order a special, shorter cable.

Thanks Paul

Came from a donor car bought for other parts Had been rebuilt and test run but never used in anger. Now stripped and viewable less pistons +20thou. (these were used by me on my car, they were as new )

Wide Big End Journals. and matching Rods. 

Gear box untested but smooth. Lever and gearchange extension missing some parts.  All is oily and needs reassembly. 

Engine  would suit various 2ltr Triumphs

Needs to be inspected. Contact me Paul on 07517 298279

Has anyone tried the iron on type, real wood veneers for doing dashboards and were they a success.

Thanks Paul

Looking for a sound chassis, or at least one with sound main rails, for my Vitesse.

The car was bought as a project, then severely damaged in a workshop fire 2 days after it arrived. While waiting for the insurers to rebuild the workshop I have rebuilt all suspension bits and running gear. Hoping to speed things up I had the chassis blasted it turns out to be in poor condition and although I could repair it, an original good backbone would be better.

Can anyone help Vitesse Mk1 or 2  or Herald if they are the same???

Paul. 

Hi does anyone have a Rotoflex rear suspension set of parts or any bits at all I want to convert my early Vitesse.

I appreciate these are hard to find but any help would be much appreciated.

Hi I am new to the club and soon to embark in a full N&B restoration of a 1967 2 litre

Vitesse. I am looking for a complete unit, or parts, for a conversion to Rotoflex type rear suspension. I intend to fit CV joint driveshafts the rest is to be as original. Can anyone help I know these are sought after, but live in hope.

Regards Paul
