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...

I have found a UK company willing to make alloy fuel tanks based on my original Peerless Phase 1 versions. I'll post pics in due course. I've asked they consider the prevention of fuel sloshing back up the filler neck. They will include baffles and cell foam in the construction. Would you prefer thread...

Have been sorting my new bespoke Autosparks loom in my Phase 1 but can't for the life of me remember where the reverse light switch goes or what it should look like. The old loom which came with the car (already removed) has an odd squarish switch fed by two wires (same colours as the reverse light switch a...

This post is a slightly modified version of one that I originally made to Dean's Fuel Sender(s)? inquiry a few days ago. Good day again to everyone. In the way of a very brief introduction, I'm the guy who is having the aluminum repro tanks fabricated for Dean. I'm acquainted with him through the Lot...

I expect to have at least one tank tack welded for approval next week; maybe both of them. Will post pictures as soon as they are available. Regards, Steve in Ohio

The good news is that the tooling created by Auto Windscreens is now safe and sound. Thanks to Paul and Chris at AW and the administrators, I was able to collect the front and rear screen bucks before they became possibly lost forever. I will let everyone know once we are in a position to use the bucks agai...

Hello to the experts,apparently the front wheels on my car need adjusting the front right tyre is wearing too quickly on its inner side. Professional measurement shows that both camber and toe-in are different on each wheel, and the measurement indicates that at least the camber on the front right o...

Celia/Ian et all The racing Warwick uses a Land Rover discovery radiator. This is a wondrous component, it fits under a Warwick bonnet a real treat and seems to handle the heat of a well-thrashed V8 without any problems. It's lots cheaper than a TR3 one as well. All good reasons to fit one, so I have....

I am coming to the end of chassis my repairs. Most of the front and mid sections have been repaired or replaced. I have turned my attention to the rear. One shock mount is completely severed off. Looks like it cracked near the folds of the mounting bracket and propogated across both bolts. I was g...
