Your vit might be fitted With solex carbs, and if, then they are most likely the cause to your problems. AFAIK nothing you can do to make it go away besides an upgrade to Stromberg. Regards Flemming

The reference numbers found on the top plate of the motor are •     12v 54071158b •     DR3A 12 58 75446D I do not see any numbers on the wiper motor presently in the Vitesse. Can anyone confirm that this will be the single-speed one that fits Vitesse 6. I’ve got some pics and visually it seems to be identical. Thanks in advance. Seems to be alright. I've got the same numbers on mine Regards Flemming

Also tandem brakes and twin tanks...fitting the doors after the cage was fitted took some drastic methods with sciccor jacks and large pieces of wood...but it worked out fine and the car's shutlines are perfect now...the cage makes a huge difference. the cars feels more solid and safe. hi David what's the purpose of "tandem brakes"? regards Flemming
