Subject: [TR] Speedo conversion and GPS signal loss 

In 2009, I was somewhere in Iowa. Large town, might have been Des Moines but my 
TomTom gps thing lost all satellite signals - probably because of very high 
buildings in the immediate vicinity? 
Anyway, when the signal returned, I was given the instruction to take the very 
next right turn, which I did. The turn itself was through a gap in a wall and 
then on to a very neat and narrow blacktopped road, surrounded by immaculate 
lawns and two cars in front of me who were both halted. The cars then went 
elsewhere, one by one, and the blue Stag and I were brought to a halt by a sign 
saying STOP HERE alongside a box on post. 
Then the box spoke to me. 
I couldn?t understand what the woman on the other end was saying, and she 
couldn?t understand me, so everything started off swimmingly. The voice in the 
box insisted on knowing who I had come to see and simply couldn?t get her head 
round the fact I knew no one at this location and I was only there because of a 
GPS malfunction. The whole process was like pulling teeth and the woman 
continually asking who I had come to see. Perhaps both tempers were getting 
frayed until I asked her why she kept asking who it was I had come to see? 
Long silence. 
?As you?re here sir, you must know what happens here?? 
?I don?t. Enlighten me?. 
Another long silence. 
When she replied, she seemed utterly amazed I had never heard of the Seven 
Steps to Heaven drive thru funeral home (or whatever it called itself) ?now who 
do you want to see?? 
It seemed the only way out required me to pass someone, so I paused very 
briefly alongside a Mrs Jones - but I?m sure that the concept of drive thru 
funeral homes were later copied by others such as McDonalds and Starbucks and 
that?s why I refuse to patronise either, unless I walk into them - providing 
I?ve found a parking place.

With all this talk of selling cars and divesting spares it is good to see 
someone still growing their fleet! Good luck with the acquisition Jonas.

As a rule of thumb, I try to use the better brand gaskets when they are 
available. I cannot speak to TR3 gaskets, but I find that the cheaper gaskets 
sometimes need "fettling" to fit properly. I see this all the time with the 
manifold gaskets for TR6 and there have been times when there was no choice 
available - just available. I chose "available" so I could drive the car. The 
cheaper gasket ate 2 hours of my labor to fit. The stud holes were off by 1 / 8 
inch, plus or minus. Ans one or two holes were not the correct diameter. 

That said, if you're like me, you buy the cheap one AND the expensive one and 
one winds up either as a spare or in the bin... 

Good luck!

Greetings everyone ~ 

Opinion time: 

Subject: Oil pan gaskets. 

Without disparaging Moss, I note their 692-000 Payen gasket is $26.99 
while their stock gasket (695-000) is just $4.99. Is the Payen gasket TR3 
that much better?? Worth the $$ difference?

I buy the cheaper gaskets and use Ultra Black RTV. They do NOT leak that way 
and the thick gasket allows for relatively easy removal (race EMG in a come 
apart a lot).

The go-fast Triumph fraternity lost an important member last Sunday, JK 
Jackson had died. 

I was lucky enough to meet JK very early in my racing exploits, and he 
took pity on my attempts to field a TR4 that was in a pitiful state. His 
guidance some twenty years ago was key to my climbing the curve from 
neophyte to racer. He was always willing to offer advice, and if you 
followed his advice to the letter the outcome was usually positive. If 
it didn't turn out as expected, I know I screwed something up! It was JK 
who explained to me how to build a big chassis Triumph gearbox that goes 
the distance, his techniques worked back then and I still use his 
formula on every gearbox I build. 

As I stand in front of my parts washer working the dirty parts, I still 
think is this clean, or is it JK clean... 

RIP, my friend.
