[IRS rear hub assembly]

Hi Roger that’s what l thought but when l view the basket it’s reduced to£280 + delivery of course so these are the ones you recommended in other posts that are new not reconditioned?

Hi all 

After finding free play in the near side rear hub I’m in the process of buying a new unit from the usual suspects am l right in thinking moss are only selling new units part number 402347 ? It’s confusing me as the price with discount is £280 which is nearly £100 less than some are charging for exchange units or have l misread ?

[Crash Pad]

Hi Mick l supplied the dash top and crash pads they sent them down the road to the trimmers. The ‘H’ frame l did myself with a kit from eBay . The small splits and missing bits of vinyl they fill as long as it’s not too big a piece missing ,l believe they use body filler and sand back, from the conversation l had with Gary

[No Oil Pressure tr4a]

Hi Phil l always leave my oil level mid way up the dip stick just remember that the min is the lowest you should have in the sump and the max is obviously the most in between is fine the lines are just guides

I think it’s another modification that’s drifted from the competition cars onto road cars that’s not really needed but that’s only my opinion

[Another one up for auction]

I agree fair price for it, seems like prices are where they should be lately and not over inflated because of greed

[Hylomar blue]

As Andy says blue hylamor doesn’t set also once fibre washers have become soaked they really need to be replaced with new and l would fit dry

[Engine oil.]

Just checked my 20lts of westway 20/50 mineral oil it states 1500ppm Zinc 1450ppm Phosphorus and 2900ppm Sulphur if this helps anyone perfectly ok for me

Hi David

I’m running Minilite 5.5j wheels with 165/80 15 and find it fine on my 4a handling isn’t as good as 195 but low speed turning is so it’s a fair compromise overall 

[Engine oil.]

I’m with Bob Westway 20/50 although it’s their mineral oil not semi synthetic good value as well especially when you buy 20lts no need to buy a designer brand it’s all the same in the grand scheme of things if you have low psi it’s not the oil causing it

[good degreaser]

Hi Phil 

l use a product called elbow grease any supermarket has it about£2 ish for a trigger spray works wonders even on the bbq

[Windscreen wipers]

I’ve got the arms that use a Phillips screw to tighten onto the wheel box to help keep it on l used gorilla glue on the splind portion that attaches using the screw yet to use in anger but stayed attached when dry run tested

[Paintwork fettling - not for the faint hearted !]

Hi Jonny

Those fish eyes look like when the panel was painted there was some silicone present you may have to sand back a tad further and completely clean the area  prior to painting. A tip l was shown many many years ago was to use 1500 grit with a bar of soap on the top coat to flatten before compound and polish good luck with the finish however you proceed

[TR5 at forthcoming auction]

Looks like a bargain buy, prices have fallen a lot they may pick up a bit not so sure they’ll reach past values thou, but who knows

Hi Pete

I was thinking along those lines also, perhaps using stainless steel L shaped brackets to hold in situ along the radius more thought is needed of course but I’m sure something can be fabricated

[Wiper wheel box bezel]

Thanks Peter will do that will come in handy elsewhere going to hunt for some stainless shim washers for the nuts I’m sure back in the seventies when we stripped wheel boxes on jaguars and such like there was a thin chrome washer unless my memory is playing tricks!! no comments please 

Chris

[Wiper wheel box bezel]

Hi Roger

thanks for looking l couldn’t find anything either l do find it odd there’s nothing l would also thought there would be a washer between the retaining nut and bezel perhaps Triumph couldn’t afford it at the time
