Is this correct?
(Preview)
I'm intending to re-use as many of the original internal panels as possible and am in the process of restoring them. The following pictures show the passenger side flitch panel as it was originally attached to the front wing closure panel. Instead of running at right angles to each other, the wing clo...

Rear windscreen seal
(Preview)
Can anyone recommend a source or a profile for the rear windscreen seal? The glass seems a fair bit smaller than the lip on the body - probably 1/4 inch clearance all around. Hopefully this is correct, as the glass is original, and no bodywork was done in this area. Does the seal have a chrome or alumin...

Wiring harness route
(Preview)
Can anyone advise on the correct layout for the wiring harness from front to rear of the P1 cars? I'm assuming it would run up the drivers sill (R/H). If this is the case, does the wiring for the L/H fuel tank and fuel pumps run across the chassis from the R/H side or up the L/H sill? As always, any guidance is...

Dashboard advice please
(Preview)
Hi all Has anyone come up with a successful way of securing the instrument and switch panel to the dashboard without relying on a couple of screws through a thin bit of GRP into a slightly thicker bit of GRP? The regular pushing, pulling and flicking of switches and knobs obviously had a detrimental ef...

A hole looking for a purpose
(Preview)
As I'm currently waiting for my new steel floor pans to be finished off, I thought I'd have a trial fit of the gearbox cover and in doing so noticed for the first time the hole pictured. It's on the drivers side (UK). Can't see it being a cable like speedo or wiring otherwise it would just be a grommet. Foot o...

Peerless GT Phase2 heater unit options?
(Preview)
Three weeks ago a Phase2 came up for sale in the Netherlands, and I was able to buy it. It is largely original and complete but rough. Unfortunately the heater unit is missing. My Phase1 has a specific small Peerless heater unit but I think on later cars (Warwick for sure) I saw heater units used from...

Can anyone advise if the 3 pipes (2 rubber, 1 metal) that make up the connection from the water pump housing to the bottom rad inlet on the TR3/4 be used on the Peerless? I have all 3 pipes, 2 silicon and the metal one in s/s but can't figure out how they fit together to connect the 2 parts. I'm assuming they r...

Engine mounting plates
(Preview)
I recently carried out a trial run of fitting the engine and box to the Peerless chassis and was a bit disturbed to discover that the engine, with the rubber mounts attached wouldn't line up with plates welded to the chassis crossmember. Although the engine mounts were sitting on the chassis plates, t...

Rear axle dimensions and seals
(Preview)
I have the first rear axle out, and I'm down to getting the inner bearing, washer and bearing collar off. However, the seal that is on currently is marked SKF/CR18657 and that is very different in dimensions to that quoted in the "wotsitoff" section. It may be that list is simply wrong and I've purchase...

Accelerator pedal question
(Preview)
As I've now got the engine and box back in, my thoughts are turning to trying to work out a linkage for the twin HS6 SU carbs. However, I'm slightly confused (easily done, I know) by what I consider to be the counter intuitive manner in which the leaver on the end of the accelerator pedal shaft moves. Havin...

As can probably be gathered, I'm getting on a bit with my resto so have lots of stupid questions coming up. As I'm at the point of getting the engine and box back in, I thought I'd do a bit of clutch work. The one thing that's puzzling me is where does the tie wire that secures the tapered bolt that fixes the cl...

Wiring questions and instrument panel switches.

As can be seen by the frequency of my recent posts, I've managed to get a bit of Peerless time in and hope to do a bit more before my workshop becomes too cold to spend more than 5 minutes in. To that end, I've been considering trying to fathom our the wiring situation. A number of years ago (how time flies) I p...
