What colour is the pipe? Not a green powder coated finish is it? Nothing metric on the TR hydraulic pipes. 3/16” external pipe size is correct. Some models used a 1/4” clutch pipe but that is 6.4 mm external.

0.004”-0.006” is the range of end float I always aim for on an axle that has been run. New bearings may need to be tighter tolerance to allow for any wearing in or bearing settlement. Then recheck after 250-500 miles if new bearings were fitted. The end float is the entire movement of both axle shafts across the car with both rear wheels off the ground. You must fit ALL 6 bolts and tighten correctly to be sure to get the right clearance measurement. Last one I did took me an hour. I have gone over to reduced hexagon sized bolts with built in washers so I can get a

It’s cheaper than a replacement or repaired capillary gauge. You can get a steel one from the Morris Minor spares people for about a fiver. 11K2846

Best of luck. As stated it fades. Think railway locomotive buffer beams and of course post office vans of our youth. There is a RAL code of 3001 plus this BS reference. https://paintman.co.uk/shop/signal-red-bs537-standard-colour/

Well described Brian. Setting the correct axle shaft end float is important to limit the chance of seal leakage, even after fitting new seals the thing may leak if the shafts are ‘wobbling’ up and down on the taper bearings due to excessive end float.

Works as described and faultlessly on my sidescreen car with original 3A switch that I have modified to suit.

I have a small amount of spare double lip seals to do this job if you can’t find what you want. I bought ten when I found the correct imperial items a year ago. £20.00 including postage to you for two seals. PM your details if you want them.

Seal. These suppliers claim quality. https://triumphspecialtuning.com/product/rear-axle-tube-seal-triumph-tr3a-4/ Instructions from the maker. Be sure the surface the sleeve fits over is smooth seems priority. https://cdn.skfmediahub.skf.com/api/public/0901d1968028ef33/pdf_preview_medium/0901d1968028ef33_pdf_preview_medium.pdf As James has written, I too have had them running on shafts for many years without issue. I have a length of aluminium tube that I use to fit the sleeves with on half shafts. I hold the tube in the vice and drop the shaft into it.

This is all too confusing for us bears with little brains. What is going to happen on the 9 th of November? Or 11th of September? (9-11) Bring back the name of the month as we used to have….or is this more sheep based functions? POSTED. 22 nd January 2025. So if this gets quoted we all have a fighting chance of knowing when it was created. Rather than relying on the gibberish all number date format.

Soak in kettle descaled to get rid of some of the white stuff. Plus the soak in penetrating fluid as suggested above. Whatever happens you are in for a rebuild replacement temp sender if yours was not working. Given some ether you can restore your own. See MGA Guru for how to do it. When you get the replacement fit one of these between the housing and adaptor nut. It will save you destroying the bulb next time round. https://www.revingtontr.com/product/rtr8155/name/adaptor-male-female-brass

NAS TR6 had a light strip below the switches/controls that came on with the gauge lights to identify what control did what.

Plastic bag over the starter motor. Socket on a stick to undo a 1/2” unf screwed plug on my car. I got fed up with the drain tap being too tight for me to open.
