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 think I'm correct in saying the original material in which the P1 dashboards were covered is now unobtainable. Has anyone discovered a suitable alternative? Failing so, I'm considering (heresy, I know) having the dash vinyl wrapped. I've seen some rather tasty leather effect vinyls along with o...

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...

Hope that got your attention Having now got the rad back in, I'm in the process of selecting an electric fan. So, as per the question, suck or blow. I know the same fan can be used depending on polarity but for the purposes of mounting once and (hopefully) once only, front or back of rad? My own inclinatio...

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...

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.

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.

Well, I did say somewhere else that I was going to start asking a lot of questions. Here are todays for the enlightened.

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?
