Hi Can anybody supply the specification for the thread on the front hub from a Peerless GT 2 litre? I can see it is 8 tpi and 1.826" OD but cannot pin down the full specification. Thanks Brent

Hi all, I had a problem with my indicators last week which I seem to have solved but not before I bought a new flasher unit off my local motor factors and one from DMG. There was a lot of head scratching but we found the the fault (which was down to me in the first place!) and all works well now. My problem is, as...

Hello, can anyone confirm if the gearbox cover is from a TR3? If so, does it use the same gaiters for the gear lever and handbrake? Mine never had either, hence the question. All the best, Gary

Hi, What is the switch for? I found it under the passenger carpeting, and the green wiring goes into the same harness as the overdrive wires. It's a spring switch, ie when i push one end of the bar it will spring back when i let go. I know i should know it, but I don't... dave

One of the numerous small things my car was missing on purchase were the handbrake cables. Fortunately, the handbrake itself was still there. Equally fortunately, I managed to get a set of cables (the last set, I believe) from Nick Copeland. Thanks again, Nick. Unfortunately, I have no idea how the...

Back in Nov. 2012 TomW was good enough to include an attachment for a wiring diagram in his post, I have been using it ever since. But that one was not very clear and I never could really read the letter codes for the various wires shown. The previous owner of my '59 Peerless had pulled the engine and trans a...

Hi I have been told - I think - that the original radiators used in the Phase 2 Peerless were from a Standard 10? Clearly the header tank was .... modified... Can anyone confirm/deny this...? I have contacted the Standard 10 parts supply and they have lots of radiators suitable for restoration for £25 +...

Thought there mighht be some interest in this? Click on the video window to see a working Peerless GT regulator. http://www.classicsmonthly.com/ Also a link to the company now capable of making new radiators and fuel tanks off the shelf. All the best, Gary

All, Sadly, my Peerless came with missing exterior door handles and inner door mechanisms. I have purchased new Standard 8 / 10 door handles for the exterior, but am interested in knowing if the rest of the mechanism is Standard 8 /10 as well. Also, if anyone has spares (left and right), I would be del...

One of the last great Peerless mysteries has been solved by a Classics Monthly reader who's been following the exploits of my Phase 1. He has identified the elegant window quick-lift lever used in our cars. The quick-lift mechanism is also fitted to the same vehicle, making for at least three sources...

I am happy to report that Salisbury transmissions (Dean Spires) is alive and well in Harlow and is still able to rebuild Peerless and Warwick Diffs. He has mine from Warwick #15 at the moment to sort out that annoying knock that's still in the transmission after I've replaced the crunchy "white box" UJ...

What color should the steering wheel aluminum be? Ours looks like it was black, and I can see some looking black in old looking pictures. Any ideas?

Keith Williams · Keith Williams

Can anyone let me know from what car the interior door pulls are off of. Mine are broke and I would like to source replacements. Keith

Searching for new diamond styled aluminum sheet material to cover the sills (door and trunk) have yielded no results. I would like to maintain the original look. For those not familiar with the design it looks like this: I suspect that it was stamped. It is pretty inconsistent. I experimented wit...

Hello all together, now I de-assembled my Peerless 206 completely and I start to work with the chassis frame. The chassis frame has some damages from accidents (it was a race car). Has anyone drawings, plans from the chassis? I want to re-build the chassis in the original design. Actually, the middle...

Frank · Frank

Folks.... Has anybody fitted a 4-synchro box with J-type O/D to a P/W? After an afternoon struggling, the tail of the box seems to be too high to get the box to mate cleanly with the block, and it looks like the gearbox mount plate on the chassis fouling the O/D is the problem area. The TR3 "conversion plat...

Has anyone explored the possibility of using Reliant Scimitar vertical links? Basically the same design. I happen to have a few of them lying around but havn't got round to checking the various dimensions against one another.

Steve · Steve

I am working towards getting the interior finished on my car. Some pictures show a sun visor of some kind that I don't have. Did the car originally come with one? If so, anyone have a picture? And, any ideas for a source for one? Thanks. Steve

Dean · Dean

I am actively pounding away at restoring the doors on Peerless 213. I am looking for a source for the aluminum/rubber door glass trim strips. These are the finishing pieces that run along the top of the door and contain a small rubber wiper. Any hints would be most appreciated. Thanks, Dean
