<div>OK WPTA Nation I have an idea for those of us in Isolation.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>A Virtual Tune Up Clinic. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Why not your post Triumph activities while in isolation. I’ll start it
off.</div>
<ul>
<li>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.
</li><li>Drain and fill Transmission and Overdrive.
</li><li>Oil and filter change.
</li><li>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.
</li><li>Adjusted the Valves and check the spark plug gap. I run Pertronix so no
points to check.
</li><li>General nut and bolt check for tightness.
</li><li>Adjusted rear brake shoes. Will install new E brake cables soon.
</li><li>Greased zerk fittings.
</li><li>Had the Tach and Speedo checked and lubricated by John Wolf & Co.
located here in Cleveland. Highly recommend these guys.
</li><li>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.
</li><li>I may even wash and wax the exterior and do a deep clean of the interior
if it warms up some.</li></ul>
<div>That’s my list, who’s next?</div>
