JVV -
You've been a busy man my friend.
My Sunday consisted of work on the TR8:
1) Replacement of the gas struts in the trunk (what a pain)
2) Replacement of the glove box straps.
General cleaning up of the trunk...

Subject: [External] [WPTA] Isolation activities
OK WPTA Nation I have an idea for those of us in Isolation.
A Virtual Tune Up Clinic.
Why not your post Triumph activities while in isolation. I=92ll start it of=
f.
* Converted my TR 4A braking system to the Toyota front calipers and la=
rger rear wheel cylinders. Can=92t wait to try them out later this week. Es=
sential isolated trip somewhere.
* Drain and fill Transmission and Overdrive.
* Oil and filter change.
* Replaced a Valve Spring Retainer which was about to fail. I got real =
lucky that it did not fail on our New England trip last fall.
* Adjusted the Valves and check the spark plug gap. I run Pertronix so =
no points to check.
* General nut and bolt check for tightness.
* Adjusted rear brake shoes. Will install new E brake cables soon.
* Greased zerk fittings.
* Had the Tach and Speedo checked and lubricated by John Wolf & Co. loc=
ated here in Cleveland. Highly recommend these guys.
* And for my good friend Bruce I did check the cylinder head torque val=
ues and am happy to say they were in spec. I may go to a yearly only check =
from here out.
* I may even wash and wax the exterior and do a deep clean of the inter=
ior if it warms up some.
That=92s my list, who=92s next?
