Triumph 2000 boxed did not have a dipstick, or O/D on 2nd gear. I think the top cover is from an early 3 synchro box, but with 4 synchro selectors. Bob

Well, the 1st question is can you get 40thou under bearing shells ? 2nd would be is the crank case hardened, & if so how deep. If yes to 1, & no to 2 then I guess it should be OK. Bob

It does not explain the lack of resistance variation of the sender, when float is raised ? Bob

Starting would be delayed if float bowls were not full, as the pump would not start until pressure had built up. maybe that's a good thing ? Bob

They are the same size, & fit well on 4" (TR2-4A) 4½" (TR5) & 5½" (TR6) wheels Bob

Or, heat the whole thing up & quench a couple of times, then hacksaw a slot across the exposed end (inside the fork, & try using a screwdriver to remove it Bob

Happy Birthday Bob. Another Bob

When I re-built my 4 synchro box I replaced all the synchro rings with new from Moss. 3000 miles in they are working fine. Bob

You should be able to buy piano wire at any good model shop. It's commonly used for Radio controled aircraft landing gear. Bob

Hope you had a good one Alan Bob

Great footage Hamish, engine sounds great. Any idea what BHP it's pushing out now ? Bob

I would have thought that adding a gasket (of the right material) would definately help, & if needed "Firegum" or equivalent is intended for high temperatures.

Any photos of it ? Bob

Happy birthday Rod Bob

This one is good too Bob

Why not fit a modern "blinker box" - much more reliable. They can be altered to fit inside an original metal can (I have done a few) Bob

Great, thanks now done Bob

As said above, having sold one of my cars, I wanted to alter the photos shown in my signature area. I can't see how to do it anymore ??? Bob

I would agree with your diagnosis. Bob

I like the way he checked the liner protrusion !

Can most highly recommend classiccarleds.co.uk Bob

If you add a spring you will most probably have to adjust the length of the push rod to give a small ammount of free movement. Bob

I carry a spare Pertronix unit, will be much easier to change to in the event of a problem that reverting to points etc. Bob

That makes perfect sense. Bob
