DB8-TypeR Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Love seeing this progress, my brother has a 13/60 estate which is sadly off the road waiting for some attention that no doubt he will get around to when his kids are a little older. His old thread is here: //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/28568-triumph-wagon/?hl=herald 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triumph...tristan Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 Thanks man, Yeah awesome thread, i remember checking it out while back. How wide were his wheels banded too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB8-TypeR Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 No idea sorry, he got them really cheap from some guy near waihi who listed a spare radiator on trademe along with a variety of other parts included so im guessing they were widened a long time ago. Test fitted some tyres but they were to wide at standard height then kids came along and thats as far as he got I think, he may read this and chime in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Bit late to the party, but man this looks sweet! Got a soft spot for heralds, and this looks on point. Will look amazing on wide standard steels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locost_bryan Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 That's a pretty sweet ride. If I was to keep I would keep as is lower it and get the steel wheels widened Formula Fords used the Herald uprights and kept Triumph's oddball 3&3/4" (95.75mm) PCD, so they are a potential source of widened wheels. Kilroy, the Marina dude from Chch (think he's a member here?), found a set of 7" banded Spitfire steelies ex a FF. iirc the main problem fitting a 2.5 is squeezing in the "big" Triumph gearbox. The Vitesse and GT6 used an uprated Herald box (iirc the first of the single-rail type), but it's pretty marginal with the 2 litre (it's also the weak link in the Marina TC). You'd definitely want to uprate the rear suspension to the late Vitesse/GT6 type. Uprating the engine to Spitfire 1500/Toledo 1500 TC spec would be a cool option, especially since it keeps it all original looking and no cert required. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
