  1. The question is whether the fork end is wide enough to ensure the push rod operates in a direct axis with the cylinder piston. I know on my car I had Glen at Protek widen the fork ends to ensure the push rod were on axis with the pistons.
  2. Sealing front and rear of crank case involving shim steel sheet, odd shaped punch, bits of cork and felt, tube of Well-Seal.
  3. This is a PPS file. It may not load. Works fine on my ancient iMac with MS Office. Motorrad_Oldies_1_-_DF6JL_ lv.pps
  4. Does your engine currently have the snorkel type breather pipe fitted in the side of the block? If not be prepared for a bit of a game in removing the core plug that is in the hole that you want to place the breather in.
  5. Off the shelf. Is this ready made adjustable one any use? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133581638897?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110018%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.COMPLISTINGS%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20231016072133%26meid%3D8ea459227d6d4ed9ad3160102ade03a8%26pid%3D101878%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D25%26sd%3D133581638185%26itm%3D133581638897%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D4536401%26algv%3DPromotedCompV5WithHighAdFeeWithKnnRecallV1PostRankerMode1PBoosterV3a%26fpg%3D0&_trksid=p4536401.c101878.m1851&itmprp=cksum%3A1335816388978ea459227d6d4ed9ad3160102ade03a8|enc%3AAQAJAAABICDPpW%2B6jo56SpbdyywYaBqD%2Bi3VZzH5U
  6. You say the clip is useless. I suspect you are struggling with repro arms as the genuine l(Lucas?) ones I have feature a good spring clip that retains the arm to the wheel box once the clip engages in the unsplined part of the wheel box stem. We used to get Tex arms that had a screw fitting that when tightened moved a crescent shaped lock into the unsplined groove. Those arms could only be removed if the screw was loosened. This could become a ‘show and tell’ article if I go digging in the garage. One thing I do recall is that the collet fit arms on TR2/A30 etc were continuall
  7. No 10 unf with 32 tpi. AKA. 10-32 UNF
  8. Just one addition to the assessment tests. Check there is end float on the armature in the casing. You should be able to move the armature axially by a small amount (upto 1mm or 0.040”). This is adjusted by a screw and lock nut on some motors and by a screw only on others. If in doubt slacken it half a turn and recheck. If it is tight the armature will not rotate easily if at all. I test by shaking the motor. You can hear the armature moving and being stopped by the limit screw.
  9. How about photographing the thing you want to use crop to size and inserting that?
  10. Have you bought a TARDIS Hoges and gone back to being a teenager? WTF are they supposed to signify? I just spotted the smiley face at the top rh of the options bar. I have also pressed all the other symbols and cannot work out what some of them actually do. Is this an age thing?
  11. The alternator looks like a Lucas ACR type. As Rob has said use a bulb and wire for simple continuity test. The ohmmeter is probably too sensitive Get one of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256441484251?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110018%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.COMPLISTINGS%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D260662%26meid%3D84c8720c0db54f43ad0164c32a06c2ee%26pid%3D101196%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D192846063407%26itm%3D256441484251%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D4429486%26algv%3DCompVIDesktopATF2V4WithDefaultIMAFeature&_trksid=p4429486.c101196.m2219&itmprp=cksum%3A25644148425184c8720c0db
  12. Remove the motor from the mounting bracket, remove the drive rack. Turn the motor over and remove the C clip holding the driven gear into the gearbox housing. Lift out the gear. Try to rotate the worm drive of the armature end with your fingers. Not easy but it should rotate. Apply power to the two terminals, plus have the earth connected if you want. The motor should work. If not loosen 1/2 turn each the slotted screws on the brush end cover. Re apply power. Still no go? Take the cover off that is over the brushes by undoing the two slotted screws completely . Smell
  13. That wiring diagram in the big red book is not completely correct for your car Richard. The notable problem is that there are only two wires going to the wiper motor. That is a non self parking wiper motor as used on TR2-3. You have a self parking wiper motor with 3 wires. The wiring diagram for your car can be found in the glove box sized booklet Handy Hints. Aka drivers hand book. online here. http://www.advanceautowire.com/tr24a.pdf
  14. No Adwest Engineering at Woolley, Did use Dowty for a few items but they had a greedy tooling ownership policy, that RR got really caught out by.
  15. Take your pick! https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_dkr=1&iconV2Request=true&_blrs=recall_filtering&_ssn=advancedautomotives&store_cat=0&store_name=advancedautoperformanceparts&_oac=1&_nkw=tap
  16. Could be rubbish wiper arms of course…….Roger has had this problem I think and proposed pink ribbon to tie the things on. I went for stainless steel wire locking. A more engineering based solution.
  17. That is correct about the tooling BMH used. A lot of parts were genuine old stock from Leyland, that no tooling existed for when the project was started, other parts were Cox & Buckles kirksite form tools run through a big rubber press, that press is now scrap, plus C&B drop hammer tooling, that was retooled. Heritage Pressings supplied a vast amount of odd brackets and fittings ( wiring loom tags, L brackets for trim boards etc) for the TR 6 shell. They closed down when BMH was homologated into one factory at Witney. By that time they were in discussion with SteelCraft. B
  18. That looks like an A type overdrive for a TR and should fit your 1970 CC chassis without modifications. You will need the electrical circuit, a control switch relay and cables. It looks like the isolator switched on the gearbox remote are present. Check it has a switch for the reversing lights. As Harry says get it looked at before installing. Could be tears if you get it installed only to find the lay gear bearings have worn through.
  19. Not an original feature. However….if there is not a similar earthing cable between the body/chassis and the engine that one will do. It is the electrical return for the starter motor power and the ignition and charging circuits. If it is not there the choke cable becomes the earth return cable causing all manner of issues.
  20. Thank you Ian and Andy. Ian = That was the type/spec of Loctite I was expecting to use too. Getting to bits was my concern without having to resort to heat and the adhesive being temperature and oil tolerant. Regarding ‘do it dry’ as Andy has mentioned I think I agree but as i am dispensing with the lock tabs and am using original plain bolts i want to have a sensation of it ‘not falling out’. I have read the TR250/5/6 spec and that has no mention of thread locking, just that they are stretch type bolts which must be renewed and tightened to a specific torque. I understand t
  21. Before you remove the starter assembly……. Remove the solenoid cover plate, take out the contact disc and clean it and the terminals inside that it makes contact with. Here is a blow by blow ‘how to’ after the sales pics. You can clean it on the car. I have done this job of cleaning the contacts on the car a couple of times and it has fixed a non working starter without the need to remove from car. https://www.sherco-auto.com/starter-solenoid-contacts.html
  22. Here is a petrol tap described as for 10 mm hose. I would check that is the bore of the hose to fit the barbed ends of the tap. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/354423350547?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-153316-527457-8&mkcid=2&itemid=354423350547&targetid=4585032215660919&device=c&mktype=&googleloc=&poi=&campaignid=554648192&mkgroupid=1302922387078119&rlsatarget=pla-4585032215660919&abcId=9323209&merchantid=87779&msclkid=0b28fe44f83c1e93b62b9bb0ce0dc427 All you will need is a screw in adaptor with 1/2" unf threa
  23. Which Loctite for big ends? As the title says. My Loctite bottle is run out and I need to replace it. I cannot read the spec on the bottle. What is the recommendation for securing the big end bolts in TR con rods as I have thrown the lock tabs in the bin. My red bottle has run out. I have never tested this stuff for ease of undoing. I have a bottle of blue non branded and am nervous I have trialed it on a nut and bolt and it does hold and creates a resistance to unscrewing once the locking torque is broken. I have looked at the Loctite web pages and they
  24. The pipe is 5/16 external diameter. It has an double sided olive to seal it gripped by the olive nut into a counterbore in the tank fitting The primary bore Ii to the tank through the fitting is 5/16” clearance so a 5/16 pipe can pass through. The olive nut is 1/2” unf thread. view is of NOS original Triumph samples.
  25. Sale Top Inner Wishbone Bushes 102228 I have a small stock of NOS original Triumph top inner front suspension rubber bushes. - Probably 10 car sets - £1.00 each plus postage. There are 8 on a car unless you have a TR2 then they you might choose to fit them at the lower inner wishbone fixing as original, therefore needing an additional 8 PM if interested.
