Greetings list Good news . The 12 months negotiations have been finalised . Won't have any pre - war American cars ( or parts ... or books etc ) in my stable any more , but a 1935 Triumph Southern Cross ( six cylinder ) restoration project . Should have it by April / May 2003 if all goes well . Can't wait ! Fingers and toes crossed at this stage . Time to look for parts I guess . I know I'll be in need of the following pre - war ( 1930 - 1939 ) British / Triumph parts as listed below : * 4 spoke steering wheel . Both a Brooklands style steering wheel ( with 4 sets of 1/8" wires extending radially from the center ) and a flat 4 metal spoke style wheel , was originally used on the Triumph models . ( Same as those used on most British cars of the 1930's and 1940's , i.e. Riley , MG , Jaguar , Rover , Morris etc. ) . * Instruments / gauges . Jeager for the main ones ( 5" speedometer and 5" tachometer / rev counter ) and Smiths for the 2 smaller ones ( 3" dual gauge for oil pressure / amperage and 3" dual gauge for temperature / fuel ) . Two small dash mounted gauges indicated the front and rear pressure for the Luvax shock absorbers , which could be adjusted from a knob between the seats . I don't know who made these gauges or what diameter they are supposed to be . ( I believe most of it should be the same as what was used on most British cars of the 1930's and 1940's , i.e. Riley , MG , Jaguar , Rover , Morris etc. ) . * Lucas P90 or similar headlights and rear lights .( Same as those used on most British cars of the 1930's and 1940's ) . * Southern Cross / Gloria / Vitesse badges , radiator cap ornament / mascot , and any chrome trim etc. * Any electrical switches , windscreen wiper motor , chromed horns / hooters etc. ( Same as those used on most British cars of the 1930's and 1940's ) . * Triumph / Coventry Climax six cylinder engine rebuild information . * Southern Cross / Gloria / Vitesse workshop manual and owner's manual . Any assistance or information would really be highly appreciated . Wishing everyone a merry Christmas and a prosperous 2003 . Chris de Wet . PO Box 472 , Ifafi , 0260 , South Africa .
