4 Apr 2013, 7:49pm








New alloy light and indicator stalks. They are designed to replace the tired boring black triumph stalks.

Easy fit , polished alloy sold as a pair.

miglia ,sammio , ribble . £10.50 including postage.


Ps does anyone know if triumph spitfire use the same controls. :doh:

Also new Gear nobs , plus gadge surrounds will be added once finished. They are made to fit the smith style gadges. So will give your kits a fresh look.
I will update costs soon .

Damn you Mike. You keep coming up with new things!

I will have to have a set of these as well!
Very nice.

How do they fit, Mike?

Do you cut down the originals to stumps and bond the alloy ones over the top?

They look very nice and I also like the sound of the new gauge bezels. Keep us posted with updates :)

Interesting grille on the German customer's car, my first thought was Ford Corsair but I can see the Maserati style too. Will it have a trident badge added?

Hi yes you cut the original stalk , leaving an inch. The new ones have been bored out the right diameter so just bond on. As for the grill i get them laser cut and they are stainless steel so no corrosion. I have Miglia badges made already . they are stainless and the Miglia logo added and finally clear coated over.

when the dial surrounds are made ill stick some pics up.

Hi Mike
Canleys classics shows the following for Spitfires across the range , Vitesse and Herald, subtle differences.
