Can anyone recommend which blades are suitable for the Peerless. I bought a pair of TR3 ones but they're no use as they're ridged along their length. Amazingly, I managed to find one of the originals (rubber long gone) and it's the 3 section type that flexes to suit the curvature of the screen as it swee...

My seats both front and back are in a horrible condition and the leather is way beyond repair or salvage. Has anyone had theirs recovered and could recommend an upholsterer? Needs to be around either London or Oxford ideally. Thanks.

Now at the stage of getting the doors on and the latches working properly. I have the driver door fitting nicely with the upper part of the latch (the fat round pin) engaging with the plate on the B pillar. However, I can't seem to get the spur wheel at the bottom of the latch to engage properly with the lock...

Got the bonnet (hood) strut location sorted but I have no idea where the plate with the support rod attaches to the boot lid. Anyone help?

Does anyone have any idea what the original P1 bonnet locks came off? I did have mine but they seem to have disappeared into a black hole. I bought a replacement pair from Holden but the part that turns under the scuttle is too short to engage with it. I can also see from the original mounting holes that th...

Hi all Can anyone provide a pic of where the rear side window catch fixes to the body. I'm using the two aluminium U shaped trims that go around the roof edge from A to C pillar and, on these, the two holes for the catch screws are very close to the edge. I was under the impression, perhaps wrongly, that this U...

Can anyone advise if the P1 came with fold down Perspex sun visors as standard? My car had a pair of green tinted ones but I'm uncertain if they were original or after market. I've seen online pics of cars both with and without visors so not sure whether to fit them or not. I can get the Holden ones at a rathe...

Are the front and rear flex hoses on a Peerless the same as a TR3A? If not what is the total length of the front left and right hoses and the rear hose. Helping a friend that is repairing one and there are no hoses on it. Thanks much Dean

I have researched for some time to determine the source for the interior door handle (door pulls). They are Sunbeam Talbot II circa 1951. The Triumph TR4 units work, but are not the correct shape. Thought this would be helpful to the group. Keith (USA- Kansas)

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

Yes, another door related question. I just bought window channel from Woolies and, yes it will fit the frame but the glass would need to be about 1mm thick to go up and down in it. Can anyone point me in the right direction of the correct channel please? Their Part No. 51 is the one I bought but it's way too ti...

As per the title, can anyone advise the size and type of the screws/nuts/bolts used to secure the latch plate to the door (specifically the one that goes through the spur wheel) and the catches to the B post.
