They were fitted at the factory pretty much throughout Herald production, but only to occasional cars. They were supposedly substituted where vibrations couldn't be eliminated with the regular solid (or later, strap) propshaft. I've had about 2-3 cars with them out of roughly 100 Heralds I've owned, Cheers, Bill.

At a guess I'd say these would have been repros. I think I remember one of them being acquired as part of an abandoned project, not so sure about the other. As a sanity check, if you measure the height of the swage line above the centre of the wheelarch, an original Stanpart wing will measure 41mm. Repros are usually larger at about 46mm, Cheers, Bill.
-
That must have been a while ago, it's a long time since I've sold any rear wings... Are these Stanpart originals, or repros? Cheers, Bill.
-
And these are the 'good' ones. There is another manufacturer which makes some really poor lookalikes, the ones with the weak stud mounting are technically an OE product... Cheers, Bill.

When you serviced the master cylinder, did you replace the main spring? Reason I ask is that I've had work hardened springs cause exactly this fault, gradually pressurising the brakes with each application of the pedal. The first time I found this the spring appeared to be physically perfect, however approximately one third of it's length had become work hardened; this section would not compress. It was the last thing I changed... Cheers, Bill.

You're right, there are a couple of different types. They're theoretically designed for the same job, however one manufacturer makes a product with a much softer spine so it complies more readily - this is ideal for fitting in the existing runners at front and rear. Afraid I couldn't tell you who stocks this type, I always bought it from a direct trade supplier. If possible, try and buy it over the counter or at shows where you can get a feel fro whether it will conform, Cheers, Bill.

This appears to match the type I used to supply http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/p-1024-rigid-single-track-window-channel.aspx

What's supplied by many traders is a flexible flocked rubber, however the original fitting was a rigid channel as shown in the earlier image, ie the same stuff goes in the back and front channels. I sued to sell this, it should still be readily available from people like Woolies even if Triumph specialists don't carry it, Cheers, Bill.

Which in turn is caused by a broken or missing pedal return spring, so the master spring has to do all the work, Cheers, Bill

I actually prefer the County/XRN slave over the original in this application. Gone is the silly metal cap with a proper gaiter instead. I'm not sure who's making the slave cylinders currently branded as B&B, but I'd have no qualms about the County parts (in this instance) Cheers, Bill.

Courier Vans have no ARB, in conjunction with the stiffer rear spring they handle incredibly well. I'm currently building my 1300 engined Saloon to similar spec, I'll let you know how it goes... Cheers, Bill.

Clear rubble sacks from DIY shops are a perfect match for thickness and flexibility, Cheers, Bill.

If your hinge has a countersink for the front mounting, you will need to use a matching 5/16" contersunk screw at this point. Cheers, Bill.
