I'm intending to re-use as many of the original internal panels as possible and am in the process of restoring them. The following pictures show the passenger side flitch panel as it was originally attached to the front wing closure panel. Instead of running at right angles to each other, the wing clo...

Can anyone recommend a source or a profile for the rear windscreen seal? The glass seems a fair bit smaller than the lip on the body - probably 1/4 inch clearance all around. Hopefully this is correct, as the glass is original, and no bodywork was done in this area. Does the seal have a chrome or alumin...

Can anyone advise on the correct layout for the wiring harness from front to rear of the P1 cars? I'm assuming it would run up the drivers sill (R/H). If this is the case, does the wiring for the L/H fuel tank and fuel pumps run across the chassis from the R/H side or up the L/H sill? As always, any guidance is...

Need a bit of advise please. Working on the front of the car now to sort a rotten front chassis member and a completely loose front nose section. I can lift the complete nose section an inch from the chassis as is it in no way connected/mounted to the chassis. It's only partially supported by the inner win...

Hi all Has anyone come up with a successful way of securing the instrument and switch panel to the dashboard without relying on a couple of screws through a thin bit of GRP into a slightly thicker bit of GRP? The regular pushing, pulling and flicking of switches and knobs obviously had a detrimental ef...

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...

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 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...

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.

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...
