41. Q/X Minilite Identification? (score: 1): Author: Greg Meboe <meboe@wsunix.wsu.edu>; Date: Mon, 5 Jun 1995 11:03:06 -0700 (PDT); Fellow Lovers of English cars, I have the opportunity to purchase two sets of wheels, 6x13 Panasports and 6x13 Minilites. I want to put some period wheels on the Spit-6, so I thought the Minilites wo; /html/triumphs/1995-06/msg00047.html (7,821 bytes)

Re: TR O/D Gearbox Oil (score: 1): Author: Greg Meboe <meboe@wsunix.wsu.edu>; Date: Wed, 7 Jun 1995 10:26:45 -0700 (PDT); Chris, I would imagine that is your problem, probably in conjunction with the weight of your right foot. Hypoid gears needd EP type lubricants due to the high contact pressures and inherent 'wiping'; /html/triumphs/1995-06/msg00107.html (9,455 bytes)

R&R'ing the trunnion does not change the alignment one bit. The trunnion should never be screwed to any tightness, as it requires free rotation.

44. Re: Spit lube update. (score: 1): Author: Greg Meboe <meboe@wsunix.wsu.edu>; Date: Fri, 9 Jun 1995 11:19:09 -0700 (PDT); Jeremy, Go for it. You really can't screw anything up, and you'll have fun in the process. Plus, you care about your car, so you will do a thorough job. If you clean and paint the things while you're; /html/triumphs/1995-06/msg00157.html (7,742 bytes)

They should sound loudly. The purpose of the relay is to allow the switch wire which runs up through the steering column to be a ground switched wi; /html/triumphs/1995-06/msg00188.html (8,351 bytes)
46. Re: TR6 Excessive toe in drivers side rear (score: 1): Author: Greg Meboe <meboe@wsunix.wsu.edu>; Date: Thu, 15 Jun 1995 09:55:06 -0700 (PDT); By excessive toe I imagine you mean a large amount of TOE-IN. From your description, I would first suspect that the rear coil spring is tired. Since this is the driver's side, this is a very common; /html/triumphs/1995-06/msg00244.html (8,219 bytes)
47. Re: Clonks (score: 1): Author: Greg Meboe <meboe@wsunix.wsu.edu>; Date: Thu, 15 Jun 1995 10:21:50 -0700 (PDT); I'd check carefully the front ball-joints, trunnions and mounting points for both the A-arms and the shock towers. Also make sure your shock mount plates (on the top of the shocks) are solid and tigh; /html/triumphs/1995-06/msg00245.html (7,766 bytes)
48. Re: Sagging Spitfire (score: 1): Author: Greg Meboe <meboe@wsunix.wsu.edu>; Date: Thu, 15 Jun 1995 19:35:05 -0700 (PDT); One thing to try which shouldn't take more than 20 minutes is to exchange the front damper and spring assemblies. This only requires that you jack up the car, undo the three 7/16 head nuts on the sho; /html/triumphs/1995-06/msg00250.html (7,854 bytes)
49. Re: Old fuel tank (score: 1): Author: Greg Meboe <meboe@wsunix.wsu.edu>; Date: Mon, 19 Jun 1995 10:29:34 -0700 (PDT); Greg, Buy yourself a new tank. If you have that much rust, you may be wearing thin in some spots. Call a wrecking yard on the West coast and have them ship you a good used one. They're not too heavy; /html/triumphs/1995-06/msg00286.html (7,628 bytes)
50. Re: Light quiz (score: 1): Author: Greg Meboe <meboe@wsunix.wsu.edu>; Date: Tue, 20 Jun 1995 11:44:33 -0700 (PDT); Ok, I'll bite. The area of the reflector for the 70 tail lens was less, since the car sported separate rear tail reflectors. Or I may have it backwards, it's been awhile since I sold my '70.

51. Re: Cam Locking Plate on Spitfire (score: 1): Author: Greg Meboe <meboe@wsunix.wsu.edu>; Date: Tue, 20 Jun 1995 12:18:58 -0700 (PDT); That's my suspicion. I think the right way to fix this problem is to remove the front cover, seal a new gasket with Hylomar (instead of Silicone), then torque the cover and cam plate right away.

My idle oil pressure occasionally goes down to 10 if it's really hot out and I've been beating my car, but I'm never worried about it. If the light were to come on at idle, then I'd be; /html/triumphs/1995-06/msg00367.html (7,820 bytes)

Re: Insuring all them cars (score: 1): Author: Greg Meboe <meboe@wsunix.wsu.edu>; Date: Tue, 27 Jun 1995 10:21:04 -0700 (PDT); Sorry if this isn't appropriate subject manner, but I pay $315 per 6 months to insure the Jag (6000mi/yr) and the Spit (2000mi/yr). The Jag has full coverage, the Spit has liability. The company is G; /html/triumphs/1995-06/msg00503.html (7,546 bytes)
54. Tyres for the fun of it (score: 1): Author: Greg Meboe <meboe@wsunix.wsu.edu>; Date: Wed, 28 Jun 1995 09:23:26 -0700 (PDT); I've got 6" rims on my Spitty, shod with 195 55 VR 13 Pirelli P7's. The tyres did rub a tiny bit when I first fitted them, but after I got new springs for the front, that went away. It's pretty easy; /html/triumphs/1995-06/msg00518.html (7,469 bytes)

However, there are certain things that should be done on any rebuild, just to make sure that it will turn out well. Havi; /html/triumphs/1995-07/msg00264.html (8,078 bytes)

57. Headers, to wrap or not to wrap? (score: 1): Author: Greg Meboe <meboe@wsunix.wsu.edu>; Date: Fri, 28 Jul 1995 11:24:00 -0700 (PDT); I don't believe that this is true. Solid metal is crystalline to begin with. It does not crystallize before it breaks. Header wrap, if it is to be effective, should be applied liberally.
