2long Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 So in order to remove my transmission, I had to take the floor pans out, and then the transmission tunnel. It sure left the car looking like a shell! Cheers Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

doretti Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 What is the purpose of the 70mm hole in the right foot-well? Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iain Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 Cricky ...how do you know from that photos it’s 70mm? :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
2long Posted July 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Well, here is stage 2: And that 70mm hole is on the driver side too, with a lever and a butterfly-type vent that can open and close via a lever in the engine bay, below the m/c. I was hoping it was a factory innovation in cockpit ventilation but it seeems to be a one-off. cheers Dan ps. Alec Pringle would attribute the 70mm precise identification as being aided by his “Mark II eyeballs” Quote Link to post Share on other sites
2long Posted July 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) And if you are an astute viewer you will see that my aggressive use of the accelerator pedal has melted the rubberized pad. Brake, not so much. Edited July 19, 2020 by 2long Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can get replacement brake and clutch pedal pads without the 'T' - I do not know where the accel pedal pad is from. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRIUMPH-TR2-TR3-TO-TS13045-ACCELERATOR-OR-CLUTCH-PEDAL-RUBBER-PAD-105159/371428142442?fits=Car+Make%3ATriumph&hash=item567ad7ad6a:g:ohIAAOSw~gRV5tjl Cheers Peter W Quote Link to post Share on other sites
2long Posted July 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 Thanks Peter! I obviously get my pedals mixed up now and then. It takes all kinds to keep the hobby interesting. i got the triple whammy on my mind right now - Covid, my tranny job, and now a Hurricane barreling down on us. What the hack is going on?! cheers Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) How does it drive now? Still needs a pedal rubber though. TRF - Triumph 105159 http://trf.zeni.net/TR2-TR3GB/180.php?s_wt=1440&s_ht=900 $4.75 or Moss Motors (Calif) 680-220 https://mossmotors.com/pad-clutch-brake-pedals $4.89 Cheers Peter W PS what does fit in the big hole behind the pedal? If the hole is 75 mm (3 inches) the TR2 jack hole plugs will do a good job of filling. Edited September 27, 2020 by BlueTR3A-5EKT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
2long Posted September 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) Hi Peter! Well, the rebuilt transmission and clutch/flywheel job have really transformed the car. I can actually pull hard off a stop and go up and down the volcano shifting around as I like. I am so happy! Now that I can get the Doretti up the steep drive in my TR2’s storage garage, I can play with one machine for a week or two and then switch them out. I am fixing to do an article comparing the two cars, now that both are bog standard and actually running how they should! Thank you for asking. Aloha Dan PS Don't mind the bird poo on the Doretti - I parked under a tree and didn't notice 'till I saw my picture. Edited September 29, 2020 by 2long Quote Link to post Share on other sites
