[More Gear Box oddities]

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.

[Regound TR4 Crankshaft - Maximum?]

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.

[Fuel gauge not reading TR3]

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

So, Hamish, you have an electric fuel pump.    Did you consider wiring it’s relay via the oil pressure switch so if the oil pressure fails the pump cuts off?    I had a Metro Turbo with that arrangement as fitted standard.

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 ?

[Spare wheel or not?]

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

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

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.

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

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

Bob

[Exhaust manifold recurrent leak]

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.

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)

[I cannot seem to be able to change my signature photos.]

Great, thanks now done 

Bob

[I cannot seem to be able to change my signature photos.]

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  ???

I would agree with your diagnosis.

[clutch adjustment 4a]

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.

[Which coil]

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