Starter motor
(Preview)
I have recently got my cousin's Peerless back on the road after a short lay off since 1978! One problem I still have is a very sluggish starter motor, despite taking it off and cleaning it. Bendix is also temperamental. Nigel suggested it might be time for a replacement but cautioned I need to be care...

Gearbox cover
(Preview)
The gearbox cover of the P2 has been cut up a bit in the past. Fortunately a large piece of this was with the car, and i will put it back where it belongs. But i have no other pieces to put back, and the gearbox cover of the P1 has been cut like this also. So i'm a bit in the dark of how it's supposed to look like. Is t...

Peerless fuel tank mounting?
(Preview)
Hi all, Can anyone please tell me how the fuel tanks in the sills are supposed to be mounted? In the P2 they were just lying in the sills, on some pieces of foam. Soon i hope to make new tanks for both my P1 and P2 and i don't really want to put them back just lying in there. Tanks! :)

Rear view mirrors on a Peerless
(Preview)
Last week i put a Pair of Triumph TR6 mirrors on the Phase 2. The effective diameter of the mirror glass is 110mm. To be honest i couldn't see much in it, because the original mirror glass is flat. I couldn't find any separate convex mirror glasses for sale so i bought a pair of second hand motorcycle mirro...

Mesh behind Peerless P grill?
(Preview)
On a Phase 1 Peerless, was there a mesh behind the aluminum P casting, or was the front of the radiator exposed? Seems like there should be something, but I can't see anything in period photos. Thanks for the help as always! Dean

I know how the original reversing light switch layout went with the switch mounted on top of the grp trans tunnel but has anyone come up with a better alternative layout? I'm trying to finish off all the internal electrics and this is one of the things still frustrating me. The other one is the interior...

Original Interior Colors
(Preview)
I would like to restore the interior of my Peerless to the original colors and materials. I have fragments of grey leather seats which I think are original to the car, but they were under a crappy red vinyl redo and are soaked with glue and discolored to a dark grey/brown. This press photo looks like a li...

Tail light gaskets.
(Preview)
Bought a pair of the rubber tail light gaskets from the ebay retailer that Gary recommended some 6 years ago. Amazingly, they still come in at £14.00 a pair, same as back in 2014! Way better than Holdens £18.00 each Anyway, the point of this post is that the gaskets come with a 'seat' that fits under the l...

Fuel pipe sizes and routing

Just getting round to installing the fuel pipes prior to mounting the body. A couple of questions. Firstly, I am using 6mm i/d pipe from rear to front as this is the size of pipe that fits the SU carbs. I've replaced the 2 SU pumps with Huco items from Southern Carbs after reading some positive reviews of...

steering, centre tie rod
(Preview)
just a quick browse through the TR site and came across this which is a TR2/3 steering tie rod. Also this one too. What caught my eye was: A. the welds on the straight section. I know Peerli/Warwick's had a weld either end. I put this down to both having a wider track than TR's but didn't know ST did the same...

Passenger door (non-locking handle)
(Preview)
Not that I'm at this stage yet but just out of curiosity, how does the door with the non-locking handle work? That is, how do you lock a door without a lock? I can see from the drivers side that the lock barrel prevents the button from being pushed in hence the door is locked. Does the passenger door actuall...

Bright Window Regulator
(

)
(Preview)
In the process of stripping both doors, I've discovered why the drivers door glass won't go up. There's no lift mechanism. Having taken both regulators out, I can see that the drivers door one is missing one of the internal springs that control the parallelogram in it's lifting motion. The following...

Window runner wheels
(Preview)
Yes, I'm still working on the doors. Having sorted out one Bright Regulator, I'm now in the process of trying to get the glass to go up and down smoothly. However, this is somewhat hampered by the wheels that sit in the channel on the bottom edge of the glass. Both of these little alloy wheels were seized s...

Do any over off the shelf headers fit?
(

I am going to try to fit a pair of DU6 carbs back on the Warwick Tunex engine to see how it performs. I can barely see in the photo of the red car but it looks like a header branch between the two manifolds. So, it seems that it is good time to try to get a header installed. I have the biggest possible starter a...

Head/indicator light options
(Preview)
I'm now at the stage where I'm considering lighting options. First question relates to front indicators. For a P1, is the correct option amber lens with white bulb or white lens with amber bulb? I've seen both on P1's. I'd prefer the latter but if convention dictates the first, I'll go with that. Secon...

Route of battery cables rear to front.
(Preview)
Given that my harness and associated cables came neatly piled up between the front seats, I'm at a bit of a loss to figure out the route the battery cables ran from the rear of the car to the front. There was a very long neg lead which leaves me to believe that nobody in the past moved the battery from the boot...
