The best help I can give is to point you to the Herald mailing list at
<triumph_herald@yahoogroups.com>. Whilst there are plenty of people on
this list who have a great deal of experience with Heralds/Vitesses,
you'll do even better going to the "correct" group. To subscribe,
simply send a blank e-mail to:

I am given to understand that you should not need to uprate the chassis
for a convertible - after all, Triumph didn't bother! No doubt the
real experts out there will fill you in on possible
options/benefits/drawbacks.

Sorry, I don't understand the question. I don't have a Vitesse
Convertible, and wasn't aware that they had extra door catches. Why
would they need them? I'd be interested to know.
