In re-assembling the doors. I have a fully operational nearside Qtrlt window, but the offside is in pieces, and I am missing the spacer, spring, nut and washer. On the Canley website, the spacer and spring are no longer available, can anyone here offer any alternatoves please? KR Alan

Hi All, Checking with the Canley Classics various diagrams, the rear over riders havent changed over the models and are the same on the Vitesse. So I ask has anyone got a "functional" pair of overiders that they are willing to sell please. Heavy corrosion to be avoided, but a patina of pitting acceptable. Thanks Alan

Yes its the door cavity thats the problem, there were no door catches fitted when the previous owners set the gap. I will update with progress when known! Alan

Thanks Glan, Now having another look underneath have found positions E & F, E was ok, but F is duffed again by a COACH BOLT! Using a light and a mirror, I can look into the chassis cavity and see a nut securing the coach bolt. Have cut into the bolt head so i can loosen it with a scredriver and hammer, but will try to remove it and replace with a bolt and the plate(with captive nut) as shown! Happy days! Alan

Hi All, Am having to make a small alteration to the rear tub of my convertible as when assembled (not by me),,,but by a bit of a bodger, the space to the doors is too tight. As said in the title of this thread (excuse the pun), I am trying to identify where all the bolts are lurking that i need to loosen to knock bad the tub a tad or two! I have undone the bolts across the floor where the front meets the back, in the boot I have found the bolts to the angled boot outriggers. I have found 2 bolts over the diff and I believe I need to unbolt the 2 outer seat belt mounting rings. I believe there may be some bolts through the edge of the floor tub passing through the outriggers? Anyone that can advise, please help. Cheers Alan

As I am in the process of repair and paint etc....on the front panel, there seems to be a different cut out for the over rider from one side to the other....is that right please or do I adjust accordingly? KR Alan

Hello all, Are the above handed at all please, any info or help much appreciated

Thanks once again, you've confirmed what I thought. KR Alan

Hi Glang, Couldnt download the manual! but all is clear from the diagrams youve uploaded, apart from on the Choke connection, what is the item marked F please? I'm guessing it may be a support metal strap between the Chocke mounting point and the bulkhead? If so I can make one up to suit. KR Alan

Hi Glang. Thanks for that...I should be able to sort it from there....obviously not the same manual I was looking at! KR Alan

Hi Glang, Already looked at it..and it tells you nothing! I'm really looking for someone who knows! Thanks anyway

Hi Gary, Thanks for your comments...I've just looked on line and the choke cable does have a check nut behind the assembly which would work for one end, but the heater control doesnt have one....

Please can ayone throw any advise on how the centre section of a 13/60 is held in place please? So once the veneered front is attached to the carcass, the small oval type black trim fits to the front with the small veneer piece, but how is this secured? The 5 holes in the panel from left to right are : heat control, air distribution, fan switch, master light switch and choke. I have a u shaped bracket ewith a hole in the centre...I;m guessing i need 2 of these, but to which of the controls do the fit to the back of? The Canley diagram lends you to believe its on the light switch, but thats obviously wrong. I have the heat control switch and this doesnt work either! Confused.com!

Good afternooon all... Much achieved on the Herald this afternoon...butv once again a problem needs solving. Please see image below As you can see new pump fitted..no connecting pipes on yet, but as you can see the outlet pipe is heading directly into the block. So before I cause myself more problems, can I undo the screw on the top and rotate the body round so to access the pipe away from the engine? Thanks for the tips KR Alan

Hi...more problems...In other posts we have discovered I have a spitfire mk111 engine...I have now installed the heater as per picture and ordered a new heater valve from Rimmers at the weekend. The one I have received is as per their catalog and bears no relation to the heater I have. All i want to achieve here is functionability...not originality...so : Can anyone advise me what/where this heater came from....which type of valve would mount on the plate ringed in yellow, and pipes from what car would connect to the inlet and outlet pipes as ringed in blue. Any suggestions would be of help
