On the front m
  3. Im lucky that mine came from Dave Gleed. Stuart.
  4. Not be a lot of call for that these days I suppose Stuart.
  5. Then your going to have to do what I do which is the same chassis up on stands and level front to back and side to side then you need to start with the nominal amount of shims starting from the front and working back. What car is it on? Depending on model then I can tell you what you need. Stuart.
  6. Im not sure if there isnt something else in the Evans stuff as it doesnt seem to mix that well with water which is possibly why they say you have to get rid of all the water in the system before filling with it. Its a bit like an oily feel to it. Stuart.
  7. John Sykes son Adam was driving one of the CanAm cars. Stuart.
  8. I do have the right Churchill tool to pull the hubs but even with that theyre a struggle. Stuart.

    TR5 Gearbox

    Definitely a later replacement box. "A" types continued through TR6 production until introduction of the CR model late 72. Stuart.
  10. I would go with over enthusiastic greasing too, seen it a few times, remove linings and clean everything up wash linings off in petrol and allow to dry off in the sun then refit and do a few miles and then check again. If you again have grease then yes the seal will need replacing as described by Peter above. Stuart.
  11. If the body has been restored correctly using the chassis as a jig then you should already know the amount and location of the body shims. Get the chassis up on stands and level front to back and side to side, glue the shims to the chassis mounts and the rubbing strips along the chassis legs and then drop the body on loose fit all the body bolts and then pull them down like you would a cylinder head. However if you havent already worked out shim numbers and position then good luck getting anything to fit. Stuart.
  12. I have loads of the lift the dot fasteners for hoods and tonneaus if you need any. Stuart.

    TR5 Gearbox

    That sounds a typical Healey owners driving style and explains why when I used to restore them back more than 30 years ago every single overdrive unit need rebuilding. When changing up into overdrive keep your foot down on the throttle and do not touch the clutch. Same when changing down out of overdrive. Obviously when changing up you need more throttle to cope with higher gear and when changing down you need more revs to maintain the same speed in a lower gear. Stuart.
  14. Yes it does push in, you do need to make sure all three pieces are well home and then fit the two outer poppers. You may find the front lip needs a bit of gentle easing upwards to get the it in properly. Youve also got the frame up too high, do the nuts up on the rear bars right in to the end of the thread so the frame sinks down also if its the first time its been fitted then a fan heater facing up between the seats to warm it up will help. You also dont seem to have the rear bar in the soft section either. Stuart..
  15. Take the cover plate off the front of the box underneath and see if you can see anything under the flywheel. Stuart.
  16. Possibly dry input shaft where it goes through the driven plate. Stuart.

    Brake Shoes

    No you need the right pads for those pins. Stuart.

    Brake Shoes

    You need the correct pads with the right size holes to suit the smaller pins. Stuart.
  19. It will need a good flush Im afraid as its very slippery and you do need to get it out of the heater. Stuart.
  20. Your parts price will now have to support all these peoples salaries too https://www.radialequity.com/team Stuart.
  21. Interesting, I was talking to Jeff Marks from Moss last week and he had to cut the call short as he was expected in a meeting, I suspect this is what it was all about. Sadly a lot of the suppliers that have been noted as being independent buy a lot of their parts from Moss already, I suspect Loukas at TR Shop wont be too happy about this. As to the new conglomerate investing in new products I suspect it`ll mean the opposite as they wont be interested in slow moving specialist parts and the prices will definitely rise. Not quite the same but the big conglomerates have moved into
  22. You are correct. Obviously translation differs. Stuart.
