trchris Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 Hi all Is there suppose to be a rubber gasket/ seal that goes beneath the wiper box bezel and windscreen scuttle on a 4a ? Seems a bit odd that there isn’t as most others have (stags,mgb,spitfire etc) Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 Hi Chris, nothing shown on the Moss WebCat https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/shop-by-model/triumph/tr2-4a/electrical-system/wipers-washers/windscreen-wiper-system-tr2-4a-1953-67.html Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trchris Posted February 12 Author Report Share Posted February 12 Hi Roger thanks for looking l couldn’t find anything either l do find it odd there’s nothing l would also thought there would be a washer between the retaining nut and bezel perhaps Triumph couldn’t afford it at the time Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 Keep it simple. If it is not there it will not go wrong Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seems a bit odd that there isn’t as most others have (stags,mgb,spitfire etc) Chris Unlike the chromed bezels on the sidescreen cars (they have a gasket between them and the body) The 4/4a/5/6 arrangement relies on the plinth being soft and providing the cushion between, a washer would spread the load and spread the plinth.

BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 A small squirt of this non setting mastic? https://www.sealsdirect.co.uk/shop/s5200-39528 I have used similar to seal the bonnet hinges to the scuttle on my car to stop water drips. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trchris Posted February 12 Author Report Share Posted February 12 Thanks Peter will do that will come in handy elsewhere going to hunt for some stainless shim washers for the nuts I’m sure back in the seventies when we stripped wheel boxes on jaguars and such like there was a thin chrome washer unless my memory is playing tricks!! no comments please Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
