[TR] what is the most stressful thing to do on a Triumph?

[Andrew Uprichard]

Oh - I did.  Fitted the panels so many times I was sick of it.  But they
still "move"...

 

And I tapped or replaced every captive nut.  Then one of the three on the
lower door hinge gave out.  Murphy's law. But at least there the repair will
not be visible.

 

And I agree with all the replies, too !

Andrew-

 

Next time you can cut your anxiety by fitting the panels first and also
running the captive nut threads with a tap.  Then all you'll have to worry
about is scratching the paint.

I just had a car painted and am putting the fenders and panels back on.  I
think this is probably the most stressful thing I have done, for various
reasons:
-  Worried about scratching the new paint
-  Worried that the panels won't fit
-  Worried that the captured nuts will fail  this one time

Driving a restored car for the first time comes close, but I think this
takes the prize.  What thinks the list ?
