My car has a 6v Robbins and Myers heater blower. I am wonder if that is original since 6v might move twice(?) as fast and burn out as 12v. Is that original? What was original if not? Pictures would be welcome. Thanks.

I saw an earlier thread with an picture of an example of an interior light for a Peerless GT. Where did it go in the car? Any idea of where to find a replacement?

Hi All We are looking to replace the silent block bushes on the diff A frame on our phase 2 as there is wear. Does anyone know who we could contact as a possible supplier for the bushes or if they were used on other cars at the time etc? Many thanks Will Ingleton

My son and I are seriously looking at purchasing a Phase 1 Peerless GT. The body is presently perched on a TR6 chassis, while the original chassis comes seperately. The problem enters in transporting both of the units. We need to know how much of a trailer to take over 600 miles to pick the two units......

Help. Engine block colour on P1. Everything seems to suggest block should be black; mine is red! Seems original. Any thoughts?

I'm looking to swap out the rear bearings, from which i detected a slight rumble. Hopefully I can get the hub off, as I know Dean struggled. Assuming that I can, is there anything special to watch out for upon disassembly? I'm even thinking that it might be easier to remove the brake plates and pull t...

Can anyone help me find a door frame for a phase 2 please or can you advise where I can get one made ? I'm also looking for a dashboard, the one I have is not a good fit

A very helpful reader has been in touch with a source for replacement original steering wheel countersunk bolts. Is anyone else interested in a set if they come good? All the best, Gary

Can anyone supply Peerless front windshield glass number, Argic Code number ? Does anyone in Canada or the U.S.A. have a spare windshield ? Has anyone come up with a replacement idea for the front windshields? MURF #203 in Canada.

What is the argic code number for a front windshield for a 1959 Peerless? Has anyone in Canada or the U.S. got a spare for sale or know how to get one soon. Thanks in advance. MURF

I noticed after my first shake-down run that the speedo cable is hanging loose next to the overdrive. Attached to the end is an angled adapter, plus what appears to be the sealing sleeve from around the speedo drive pinion (brass with a rubber seal) I assume from this that the pinion is either still in...

Hello all, please remind which Austin Healey's boot lid hinges are most suitable for a Phase 1? I can't find the Wotsitoff list I copied off the old forum. Any chance of re-posting that list Jon, Nigel, anyone? Tom mentioned a way of retrieving it via an archive site, but I've had no luck so far. Much appr...

I have found a UK company willing to make alloy radiators based on my original reconditioned Peerless Phase 1 version. I've asked them to include a radiator fan thermo switch hole, to be sited on the top left of the rad, and suitable for most radiator fan switches. I'll post pics in due course. I've aske...

As I get my arms around (literally in some situations) the Peerless, a number of questions arise. Here is the first. What solutions have people found for routing the crankcase breather pipe to a convenient location? Specifically, the car came with hodge-podge of hoses leading from the bottom o...

Hi All, We are going to the bash next Saturday organised by our noble leader, if any of you have ordered or would like one of the axle tubes we have made please speak up now and we will bring them with us. These are just tubes, they have no flanges on them but we will not be making any more. So quick before they a...

Hello all, I'm in discussion with a company interested in the possibility of creating a bespoke system for our cars. As we all know, ground clearance and heat are enemies one and two to a PW. My personal preference is for a twin pipe system using smaller bore pipes underneath (ground clearance), avoid...
