Rear axle dimensions and seals
(Preview)
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...

Accelerator pedal question
(Preview)
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...

Clutch question
(Preview)
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...

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...

Wiring questions and instrument panel switches.
(Preview)
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...

Gearbox cover help
(Preview)
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

Peerless Handbrake
(Preview)
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...

Wiring Diagram
(Preview)
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...

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.
