Ken, the TR2/3 has a "fly off" handbrake. You push the button down to lock the handle. To release it, you pull on the handle and then let go without pushing the button. I really like it, but it is e

<snip> Chris, my TR4A SPC also lists 504948 /I & /O for the LHS non-OD application. Does yours list something different ? And again, my TR6 SPC lists 516545 for the LHS non-OD application. Here's so

Sounds like there must be something wrong inside the handle : My guess would be the pawl pivot has fallen out (or been removed and replaced improperly). Could be the ratchet is broken or missing too

I believe it was a common feature of British sports cars at the time, useful for "LeMans style" starts where one had to jump in the car, release the brake and take off. I do miss it in my Stag, I ha

Are you by any chance using DOT 5 brake fluid ? I've seen it gel and form what appears to be grease, when a wheel cylinder leaks. Randall /// triumphs@autox.team.net mailing list /// or try http://w

Also FWIW, I do it much the same way, except I fit both shoes into the cylinder first, then both ends into the adjuster. Probably makes no difference on your TR4A with it's single-acting cylinders,

Ed, I believe someone has not only assembled your gearbox from parts, but they've chosen inconsistent ones ! Before TS50000, the dipstick in the top cover was the only fill hole, there was no plug on

No, and I don't believe I will be, either. First, it's only applicable to disc brakes on the drive wheels which AFAIK lets out 99.99% of all Triumphs, certainly all of mine. Second, it's only a sing

The danger for either location is that the associated shaft will somehow move while you're adding oil. Fairly unlikely I would think, provided you don't turn the drivetrain at all. BTW, I was wrong

Take a look under the car, at the bottom of the transmission just before it goes over the rear crossmember. If there's an OD there, you'll see the rather large (roughly 3")brass drain plug for the O

I'm reasonably certain the answer is 'no', you cannot insert a dipstick here. The lockout switch rides on the top of a shifter shaft, the shaft is larger than the hole diameter and thus blocks it pr
