Hi Dave
easy enough to repair your hinges.
The new pins are 0.004" oversize so you can run a drill down the holes to clean them up.
when knocking the pins out have a good look to see if they go in and out in one direction.
When I had mine apart I drilled a hole to allow a grease nipple to be fitted and annual greasing. The nipple caqn be removed when in use.
I fitted it to the central lug.

Hi Steve,
we are at Hayes. We head West for beer and food most weeks.
The Chequers changed hands about two years ago. Previously it was very good, we shall find out what is going on this coming Tuesday.

Hi Steve,
Sue and myself go there quite a lot but we haven't put a plaque on the wall yet. We'll be there on Tuesday.
Have you tried down the road in Turvil at the Bull & Butcher LoveJoy, more recent ones
The Cobstone Windmill is privately owned but was used in the television series Jonathan Creek. The picturesque church is the Vicar of Dibley's, with her house next door. The house was also in the film Goodnight, Mister Tom. The Bull & Butcher pub appeared as The Chalk & Gun in Midsomer Murders.
The widmill was also in Chitty chitty bang bang and previously owned by Hayley Mills.
Did you see the BlueBells beyond Turvil

Hi Tony
welcome to the forum,
any puddles (leaks) under the car or in the engine bay near the master cylinder.

+1 for Hardy engineering.
They have worked on Healey, Jags MG TRiumph
They have done my OD and GB and all is well.

Hi Clem,
if you can keep the wiring straight then use Rob's circuit
If the wiring is a bit wrinkled then use Pete's circuit.

My understanding of TRiumph's action of not fusing the lights (apart from cost saving) is that installing the wires in a safe
fashion was more reliable than using the fuses of the time. - you didn't want the lights going out just at the wrong time.
How often did under-dash fires start in the 'old' days. It seems daily at present.

Hi Clem,
if it is of any use the BHA4578 (pull switch) is also available as a toggle switch BHA4786 (MGB wiper swiych)

Be aware.... The dash pads that I bought from Rimmers were moulded plastic
There two types of material that can be used.
One is a black spongy material that also forms the outer surface. It is the cheaper of the two but looks ****
The second material is a white foam sponge that has a separate moulded vinyl outer layer. Is more expensive but similar to the original construction.

The slow speed is achieved by adding a 10 Ohm resistance wire in series with the field winding.
If this wire burns out (and they do, quite easily) then the slow will die.
Should the wire change its resistance then the speed may well change.
With the back plate off you should be able to see the wire - with a test meter check the value of the resistance.
A fixed 10 Ohm 5Watt resistor can be put in place.
PS - this resistance reduces the torque of the motor. It really is quite useless.

Perhaps the price shown is the Incl VAT sum.
Unless they have gone for Bastuk then they are the ones. Bastuk will have their name cast in them somewhere.
So, I believe they are them.

These motors are useless at the best of time. Send it back and get your money back
Consider fitting a 14W TR6 motor - they actually work.
To see your colours Remove the back plate and look inside - you should be able to so sheathing that is not sun bleached.

Hi James,
I will certainly help install it but as a demo I think that is asking murphies law to come into operation.

Hi James,
I don't know how other boxes do it but on mine to come out of OD a simple touch of the switch.
When I was in Germany, Blackforest - the straights on the hills were in 3rdOD and the hairpins in 3rd - no clutch just a simple tap of the switch IN & OUT

A question from someone who hates anything electrical on cars. What are they like to wire in?
Hi Phil,
on first sight all the wires ( 7 ) look daunting. But they are colour coded and fit direct into the the car.
On the 'A' type two wires are switched over on the 6RA OD Relay.
Wires for the operating switch and Indicator LED need to be laced through the steering column loom
About 1 hours work
Forget that they are 'electric' wires - imagine they are brake pipes and it becomes easy.

They've just had a whip round for more beer
Sorry.

I think you should be able to as it should be to the new original size.
However I have not done that.

Hi John,
are you referring to the grab handle?
If so most DIY type members can recover it. I've done a couple. I believe TRGB also undertake this service.
The TRShop sell there NEW grab handle and Moss also have a new grab handle. Not sure what Rimmer has.
The TRShop item looks very good.
If you recover your own do consider that the extra layer will make fitting the back plate a bit difficult.
The new ones do not have the back plate.

Cost of gearbox change to overdrive

Hi Rich
it may be worth talking to whoever you think will do the fitting.
It would be north of £2K
You could get an unknown GB&OD for £500+ then spend £500 to overhaul each item = +£1500
Fitting £500+
Speak to Tom Cox - this is what he does
