[WPTA] WPTA Isolation activities

[Kevin Dadey]

Hi Larry,
Did you replace them with the stock fiberboard ones, which are oddly expensive for the engine bay valences, or did you find a better alternative.Mine are bad too.
Thanks,
Kevin

 The week before, I replaced the "valances" in the engine bay of the Spitfire.

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’ll start it off.   
   - Converted my TR 4A braking system to the Toyota front calipers and larger rear wheel cylinders. Can’t wait to try them out later this week. Essential 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. located here in Cleveland. Highly recommend these guys.
   - And for my good friend Bruce I did check the cylinder head torque values 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 interior if it warms up some.
That’s my list, who’s next? JVV _______________________________________________
