Can anyone advise if the standard TR speedo cable is suitable for a Phase 1 car and if an angle drive is beneficial? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I'm gauging interest in new Inner Bearing Collars for the De Dion tube halfshaft set-up. I'm having some machined up for my customer's Phase 1 car and hope to be able to supply them as a pair with new double-lipped seals. If you're not sure which part that is, take a look at the pic of the shot blaste...

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...

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...

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 per the title. Can anyone advise the sizes of the bolts that attach the layrub to the diff and prop shaft, please?

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...

Dear forum members,as the steering of my Peerless Phase 2 does not work properly anymore, I think a conversion to rack and pinion could be reasonable.Has anyone done this before? Is it a kind of easy to do job an eager enthusiast can manage, or does it require a lot of work?What is the best address to ge...

Our car has the battery located just right of the spare tire. There is nothing finished looking about it's mounting arangement and I recently found a wonderful image of a young lady holding up the bootlid which shows a great view of the right half of the inside. This is one of several images taken of a new...

Well, I did say somewhere else that I was going to start asking a lot of questions. Here are todays for the enlightened. Just got my box back from being inspected and much to my pleasant surprise, it appears to be in excellent order. I was dreading the prospect of coughing up for a full re-build. There are...

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...

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...

Anyone know the sizes of the bolts that mount the diff to the A frame and the ones that hold the brackets to the top?

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

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 +...
