His is an early 4 with similar setup to TR3. Any ideas on what to do. I heard I’d have to take valve cover to chrome plater to have hem strip a bit off the surface. Another though was a muffler shop that has a pipe expanding that fits he 1 1/2 inch diameter opening of the push on cap. Any help much appreciated Jim Henningsen Ocala FL

> Subject: [TR] Drive Your Triumph Day plus a BONUS
>
> Dear Fellow Triumph Owner,
>
>
>
> I’m sending this reminder to Triumph Car Clubs and Standard Motor Car
> Clubs around the world, along with those who have submitted photos from
> past Drive Your Triumph Day activities.
>
>
>
> Drive Your Triumph Day is next weekend, Sunday, February 10th. I’ve heard
> from many of you about group drives you have organized, which is great. If
> you haven’t planned anything there’s still time, or be sure and go for a
> drive by yourself.
>
>
>
> The concept is straightforward. On February 10th, go for a drive in your
> Triumph or Standard. Take a scenic drive on a country road or out to lunch,
> to the market, to work, where ever. Go for a drive alone or in a big group
> from your local Triumph or Standard car club. Take your spouse, buddy,
> child, grandchild or your dog; then take a photo. The photo is mainly of
> the car, and the owner if possible, ideally in front a cool spot, landmark,
> scenic view, in your driveway or in your garage.
>
>
> If it’s the middle of the winter where you live and your car is in
> hibernation, or in the middle of a restoration, take a photo of it anyway.
> Send a hi-res photo to driveyourtriumphday at gmail.com, along with some
> basic information: owner’s name, year and model of car, and place photo was
> taken (city, state, country).
>
>
>
> Now the bonus info, which I’m very excited to share. In early January I
> was able to get in touch with Nick Black, Sir John Black’s son. We’ve
> exchanged over 20 emails covering several topics, of course including Drive
> Your Triumph Day. He’s very pleased about the event, and had read about it
> in the Standard Car Review. He shipped me a DVD with some home videos, and
> most importantly, he sent me a PDF of his book, Triumph & Tragedy,
> instructing me that it’s OK to post on our website and distribute freely.
> I’ve loaded it on my Kindle, which works but the text is kind of small.
> I’ve also loaded it on my iPad, which is better, and of course very easy to
> read on my computer.
>
>
>
> This is the link to the Triumph Travelers Sports Car Club, in our 61st
> year, the longest running active Triumph Club in the world.
> www.triumphtravelers.org There is a box on the right side of the window
> labeled Quick Links, and the bottom one is the link to Triumph & Tragedy.
>
>
> Be sure to contact me with any questions you may have, and thank you in
> advance for getting the message out to your members and friends to drive
> their Triumphs and Standard cars on February 10th.
