  1. Hi Steve,

    the new cappings look very good. That was the good news.

    The bad news - they take a fair bit of effort to fit properly.

    They sit too low, so you need to put pads under it to give a reasonable gap. This may not be straight forward.

    The front edge needs to be raised slightly and the back needs to sit on the rear edge of the screen frame.

    The outer ends just about work but as Stuart mentions they are a little on the short side

    This would be an ideal part to have made from Stainless steel.

  2. Hi Jerry,

    Without seeing the circuit a little guess work would suggest that if the amplifier section is a big(ish) IC then with one channel having problems the internal safety system may shut it down (on all channels).  

    So the answer is Yes.

    Replace the speaker

  3. Hi Ernest,

     SuperPro bushes had no effect on the stance of my 4A and the driving/control appeared to be improved slightly.

    The main benefit  is the longevity. The standard rubber bushes have a question m,ark over them.

  4. Hi Frank,

    four or five years ago Pete Wigglesworth put a post on showing a source for something very similar.

    The channel will work but it will take some fettling.  I think I have 4 in my todo box. They were about £5 each.

    I'll have a look for Pete Forum handle and posy it here.  BlueTR3A-5EKT

    If the original source is dead then You can have one of mine.

    I'll look in the garage to see what needs doing.

    I thinkl it came from a BL salon car !!

  5. Hi Chris,

    The pink Ribbon was something of a joke.

    Out of interest, having used Gorilla glue on the splines how will you remove the wipers in future ?????

    The problem with the Phillips screw and wedge is that the vibration of operation causes the screw to slacken off until the blade shoots off

    Re-tightening every 1, 2 or 3 months keeps them secure. And off course upon checking they are always tight.

    I do like the Pink Ribbon bodge tho'

  6. Hi Gordon,

     there is somebody on the USA forum 'TRiumph Experience'  that is making NEW Rostyle covers. 

    You would need to log on and ask who, what, where tyype questions.

    They are a good bunch of chaps.

  7. Hi Dave,

    did the armature move freely when turned by finger.

    Did the brushes look good and sit firm.

    The replacement wipers are too rich and still work badly (IMHO).

    Have you considered the TR6 14W motor. It looks different but should fit. It is two speed but you only need one of them.

    As single speed I think it only needs a simple change over  switch.
