Thanks for all of the suggestions, I actually got it out before my message even went out, for some reason I didn?t see it back until today, when I sent it yesterday. Anyway, what I ended up doing was using a screwdriver in the gap between the housing and the cable nut, moving around to get new fulcrums as it started moving out. It was really stuck, it was almost all of the way out before I was able to get it to move the last little bit by hand. The only downside was that I munged the cable nut up pretty good doing this, so I?ll be putting a new cable in as well. One I got it out, the next mystery was how to replace the seal inside. It turns out the exposed end is really a cap that is threaded into the body. After a bit of persuasion, I was able to get that removed, and can now replace the inner seal as well as the o-ring. But first I need to make sure the housing can be put back with a reasonable amount of forces, as I will need to line up the bolt that holds it in place. I did get one suggestion with pictures of custom puller, which would have done the trick and probably not required the sacrifice of the cable.

Richard and I went through the final full travel suspension measurements which required Richard to change the initial length of the solid shaft piece of the axle, which meant a couple of iterations shipping axles until the fit was perfect for full suspension travel of the swing arm, that we setup without a shock damper in place to allow for the most travel and movement of the CV under any circumstance of suspension combinations. 99% of users would never know that for standard and fast road driving, but it makes a difference for autocross Now the CV axles can be properly ordered for and installed on a Stag ( or other TR with IRS, which means those are the last half shaft axles you will ever need for your Triumph.

Jerry Kaidor and I worked together and he treated me to a lunch gathering of local Triumph and LBC enthusiasts in Santa Clara County somewhere. Pretty much for the same reason that late 60's and early 70's Porsche 911s's aren't driven - not that our lowly TR's will ever reach this level of status. They simply became so valuable that they're now largely collector items spending most of their time in climate controlled storage or on trailers being towed to to and from meets. We've joked about this before on this list and it was meant tongue-in-cheek. Nice to hear from you, David -----Original Message----- From: TeriAnn J.

Perhaps Hagerty?s published a value guide online for collectible cars. I?ve never checked out the Hagerty?s site but I?d bet the values change on a regular basis. Seems to me that TR2?s and 3?s ought to bring good money if they?re in good condition. There are fewer of them surviving on the road today that TR6?s and their lines are pretty classic (similar to XK 120 or 150?s and others).

There was a writeup in the Stag Newsletter at the time. I have installed them in almost every Stag I have owned or worked on in my Garage, got a pile of old UJ axles shafts to show for it.. Another feature built into these CV axles is if you upgrade to rear disk brake calipers, there is a clip on the solid shaft that allows the axle to compensate for a caliper mounting bracket spacing. That is the same for the Stag or the TR series CV axles. And the CV half shaft axles are designed for 300bhp which is more than a standard TR/Stag diff will handle which is supposedly 250bhp Glenn aka StagByTriumph Garage From: Triumphs On Behalf Of Patrick Baize Sent: Monday, August 8, 2022 6:03 PM To: triumphs at autox.team.net Subject: Re: [TR] Goodparts endorsement Seriously!

So I have an electric fan in my TR3 and have a thermostatic switch probe in the top inlet to the radiator that leaks slowly while driving. I made a little saddle out of a piece of radiator hose that tapers off to a feather edge and has a hole drilled through it and then a slice down to the hole. I inserted the bourdon tube into the slot, taped that around the inlet and then tried to slide the top hose over it and tighten it up. The hose would push the little saddle out of position and? cause a leak. I attached a jpeg and hope that it comes through. ???? Anyone else have these problems? Years again I asked Randall (remember him?) and he told me that he just put a switch on his dash and turned it on manually. ???? The switch said that it could be mounted externally by just squeezing it on between the radiator tubes. Seems inaccurate and hazardous to the radiator for me. I was thinking of mounting it on the top backside of the radiator using some high temperature aluminum tape. ???? TIA ???? -Bill Brewer ????

Machine had rollers like a speed tune shop and thus balanced the entire tire/ wheel/ axles 'System'.The 'Old Timers' told me in the 1920s, when wooden spoke wheels and tires (not made to contemporary standards) didn't balance on/with 'static balancers'; the Solution was to put sand in the tube or the tire ( if no tube).As the wheel spins.

The spinners are left and right handed and as such are are self tightening. You should check the owners manual but my memory is to snug the wheels with the supplied mallet and let them do the rest themselves. Please note that regardless of how tight you make the spinners if there is slack in the splines the wheels will move every time you cycle a braking event with an acceleration.? Extra horsepower and hard usage will cause the wheels/splines to wear more quickly.? Don't forget they were designed back when 100 HP was considered a lot.? Jag wheels have larger diameter splines which also have a larger spline area. Knock off steel wheels with locating dowels rather than splines were developed for racing for just these reason.? It is also why they stopped trying to use wire wheels on Cobras.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Did you replace the hubs along with the rear wheels? Hubs can wear too, so even if you put new wheels on you will get the back and forth motion (especially at the rear, driven wheels) that slowly hammers out the tolerances over time. I have read all the theory on self tightening spinners, but I have always put them on good and tight plus a few knocks more for good measure. When young I had lots of cars with worn splines, and a good tightening would stop them from knocking (for a while anyway, then they would start again, I believe the self tightening thing may work, but maybe not so much for well worn wheels and hubs?).

Your ignition system shares a ground with your 12 system.? No problems. The longer answer is "it depends."? It depends on your step-down "transformer," whatever that is.? But I suspect it is just a buck voltage regulator and it is non-isolated and there will be no issues there.

Consider your house. It has possibly 480VAC 3 phase, or 220/240VAC two phase and then each leg of that makes 120VAC and all that goes to a single ground point. Having different grounds for different voltages causes problems on the same machine. For maintaining power for the instruments, first verify that they actually operate on 6.25VDC or if there might be a bimetal regulator for a constant 5 vdc which is possible. Next you should look for a 12 DCV to 6 DCV voltage "regulator", rated at couple of amps DC and input / outputs protected by properly sized fuses, not a "transformer". Transformers are typically for Alternating current, and voltage dropping power resistors are used to reduce DC volts to ~6 volts to power the instruments. The problem with voltage dropping resistors is that they create heat if there is any load so locating it is sensitive so you don't burn up anything, and they consume power on anything that is unswitched. A power converter will work far better. For everything else like lights, ignition components, starter, generator to an alternator, make sure your wiring is properly sized so it can handle the amps needed for your new stuff.
