hello, is the boot luggage rack still available? I'd be interested in it if it is. Thank you

I’m selling a herald 1200 dynamo and control box, they’re both brand new and only been in the car for one drive then swapped out for an alternator. The dynamo was £100 brand new so looking for about £75-80 and the control box around £20. Open to offers as I’m new at selling some of the stuff I don’t need so I’m not very familiar with prices. Thanks

It’s the part on the right side of the engine, not sure if a 1300 manifold would fit though.

Hello, I'm looking for a carburettor manifold for my triumph herald 1200, mine is using a 948 manifold on a 1200 engine which is fine for the mean time but would prefer the proper one. if anybody has one in useable condition, that would be great. thanks

That’s an idea I think I’m going to go with, someone else said pretty much the same thing so that’s probably what I’m going to do. Thanks mike

Hi everyone I’ve got an electric window washer pump and was wondering how I would go about fitting it, mainly with how it’s going to function, I was wondering if I could get a 3 way switch so it has an off position, wipers position and washer and wipers position, similar to the one I have now but instead of pushing it in it just has another turn position. Sorry if that sounds like I’m talking a load of waffle. Thanks

Yes I do remember it’s currently soaking in white spirit it’s been in for about 30 minutes so I’ll take it out in another 30. I’ve bought a spare cap off eBay just in case for a spare as well for £6 which wasn’t bad

okay that's good to know I'll get a small stock of them and i'll clean out that breather cap with white spirit as well. Thank you

I think the first thing might be the problem, there’s no fibre washer and it’s a normal nut not a nyloc nut. I’ll get these done as soon as I can. I think I’ll bug a new one just to be safe I’ve seen a couple on eBay and it would be good to keep a spare anyway. If that doesn’t work I’ll try the second option

The plates were on the outside of the rocker cover they don’t look original to the rocker cover it just looks like 2 steel rectangles that were under the nuts but on the outside of the rocker cover there wasn’t anything inside it. As for the breather cap, I didn’t know if they got older they can start letting out too much oil

Hi Pete, my rocker cover is there but it's got like a layer missing from it, I'm not sure if it's paint but it's the same colour, I think it's leaking from somewhere I took it off and checked the gasket and it seemed fine since I just replaced it a few months ago. it did however when I bought the herald have 2 metal plates where the nuts were to secure it on which struck me as slightly odd. I'm not sure if it is leaking through the breather cap or not but would like to see if I can replace them both soon just to eliminate the problem. I'll have a surf around eBay to see if i can find any. thanks Pete Jack

Hi everyone. I'm on the look out for a herald 1200 rocker cover in good condition and a new breather cap. I have tried looking on some of the parts websites and I can only find them on rimmers and Canley classics but they're out of stock on Canley. If anyone could give me a pointer on where else to look for a rocker cover and breather cap or if anyone has them for sale it would be greatly appreciated if you could let me know. Thank you 🙂

that is a fair point and i dont plan on selling it any time soon, i might drill a hole in the back for one i dont see me taking it out anytime in the future so it is definitely an option, i'm considering one of the windscreen ones but i think i will most likely drill a hole in the back

I think i might get one fitted to the back if i cant fit it in the hole in the front, i don't know whether to drill holes in the back though thats the only thing

Is that one very big? The depth on the front aerial hole isn’t very deep on my herald
