Agreed

Its a one off I'm afraid Colin. See you Saturday at the meal ? 2.148 VED: classic vehicle exemption – The Government will extend the cut off date from which classic vehicles are exempt from VED by one year. From 1 April 2014 a vehicle manufactured before 1 January 1974 will be exempt from paying VED...

I was told that MkI rear hub flange is thinner and weaker than the MkII flange.

AFAIK the hub asembly is interchangeable between the two version of trailing arms.

Any one got one or a pair of MkI front wheel arch repair panels for sale.

My PI is in need of some attention....

That was fitted as standard to a MkIV Spitire; bloody awkward to get to if you had put your seatbelt on in a Spitfire

I think it became law post 1970 to have a steering lock fitted to a car as standard. Courtesy of the insurance companies complaining to the government.

Thanks Ted that explains the situation a bit better.

There was a process where 'short lived' molds could be made from existing panels. I recall that up to a 100 pressings could be made before the die had to be melted and recreated.

Is this what you are looking into?

There must be some large pressing facilities somewhere? Where do the GT6 bonnets come from?

Ted I sent you a pm via the Club Triumph forum.

I do have some NOS wings that could be used (non-destructively) as templates.

Not for sale before anybody asks as they are earmarked for projects.


Who do TD Fitchett use to press their panels?

Youch,

They did'nt stock one when I phoned them on Monday.

Paddocks do the Stag one for £76 which is far more reasonable, but....

I agree with Andy, mine has the integral aluminium resevoir and I think that is OE.
