Congrats on the Herald- they are a fun and easy car to work on. Rimmer
Brothers have a lot of stuff for them, in case you're seeking a source-
everyone else seems to be Spitfire/TR oriented, and Herald stuff is a little
harder, but not too bad.
I don't know if you've checked out my website
http://www.homestead.com/herald1200/ which is a "Work In Progress"
Herald/Sports 1200 restoration. Might give some information...One of the
nicest things about the Heralds is that they disassemble wonderfully-
currently, my car is in several large but easy to move and work on pieces.
I'm getting ready to bead blast the body once I've zip-stripped it(the rear
section is going to a chemical stripper) so it will be ready to paint
shortly. And, I have decided to add the fun of repainting the frame for no
apparent reason, so all looks original...
