Here in sunny Las Vegas we are in 70's and what a nice day to be driving TR6.
Hooked up with some other members in the club and cruised around the Red Rock
area of Las Vegas. Sorry your weather hasn't been as nice as ours.
See you down the road...Ibsen

Subject: [TR] Who went driving this weekend? And also: Another Broken TR4
Vacuum Advance Line
Who went driving in a Triumph this weekend?
Inquiring minds want to know. Here in Milwaukee I was able to finally get
out to the garage without stepping through any snow banks. Sure there's a
bit of snow left in the heavily shaded areas, but winter is just about
over,
and I found a path.
It's almost time to get out and drive! It broke 50 degrees today, but at
no
point was there even a hint of warmth in the air, as it there was just a
penetrating chill off Lake Michigan.
Onto the topic, I was checking out my car, and noticed the vacuum advance
line was broken again, right where it mounts under the SU carburetor. Hey,
I just replaced it two years ago. It's broken already? I'm sure it's
caused
by the engine vibration, where the metal fatigues right next to the
connection point.
Anyway, is there anyway to repair this and avoid the gouge? Do I need a
two-fisted bubble flaring tool?
