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.

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

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

As the title suggests, can anyone advise on the correct part number or, better still, the correct polybush? I got a full set of 16 (8 sets of 2) polybushes from Rimmers and whilst the top bushes fit the upper fulcrum pin with no problem, the same bushes will not fit the lower fulcrums. The diameter of the l...

I read with interest Gary's latest installment of his Peerless restoration in the February (?) edition of Practical Classics and noticed that he had used a set of Automec TR3 pipes. I'm not sure if other owners are aware but Automec actually do a full set of pipes specifically for the Peerless. They'...

For those interested, Holden now have Peerless rear lights back in stock at a slightly eye watering £230.00 plus VAT and carriage. I've just bought 2 so needless to say, I'm feeling a little weak at the knees right now.

Well, here we are again. Was running the car up the drive at the weekend (under it's own power!) and it was obvious that something was moving around rather more than it's supposed to. Lo and behold, an engine mount has come apart. Now this is a "heavy duty" part from one of our suppliers of thi...

Having been lucky enough to get my hands on a pair of nos leaf springs for the Peerless, I'm planning on refurbishing them before starting the long awaited re-build. Has anyone undertaken this task in the past and, if so, did you grease between the leafs? I know that some springs are assembled dry and...

What are correct hubs for Peerless to convert to wire wheels?

Help!! For the life of me I can't figure this handbrake out. I have a cable with cover which goes from the left wheel cylinder to the right one. Cover stops bolt to the DeDion tube each side, but the cable turns in a u shape, then has a frayed end about 6" from the right wheel cylinder. I also have a pair o...

The stop-start resto of Peerless is about to take another small step forward with the rebuild of the front suspension and in doing so, I wondered about the benefits of an adjustable upper fulcrum kit to provide a degree or two of negative camber. Has anyone any experience of the kits provided by Reving...

Does anyone have experience of fitting a Hi-torque starter to a Peerless? I'd like to put one in but given it's a bit tighter in a Peerless than a TR3, I thought I'd ask before dropping the money. dave

Hi Folks, Can anyone tell me what the rear prop shaft UJ (the big metal one with rubber buffers between the plates) is from where to find one? Many thanks, Nick

Does Woolies carry the original door seal? I couldn't match the trashed ones on Phase 1 #00123 with their web page. Nothing similar from Moss or Roadster Factory here in the US either. My car had same seals on doors as rear window. Car should be ready for the road this month (I hope). Will send pics.

I think I tried this before but met with no sucess so I'll give it a go again. Basically, I need to re-manufacture the diff carrier frame as mine was lost some time ago. I'm referring to the triangular frame that sits below the diff and connects to the chassis at 3 points. I did have a technical drawing with...

I've been reliably informed by a reader about the origins of the PW door glass runners. Having made a pair from scratch as featured in the mag recently, he got in touch with the info. Furthermore, the specialist involved should have a stall at Beaulieu Autojumble this weekend. Fingers crossed I can c...

Hi Folks, Looking for help - can anyone tell me the part numbers to order windscreen seal and the matching silver filler strip from Woolies? Our seals seem OK, but the trim strips have gone black, so I want to replace those and may get some seal material at the same time, just in case... Thank you! Nick

I am starting to hook up gauges and do final wiring on #216. I don't seem able to find a reverse lamp in loom. I assume one just wires separately back to it? -- Edited by Steve on Thursday 10th of July 2014 03:27:56 AM
