As a owner of a '67 Triumph 1300 for some 26 years now, i know they sometimes have a habit of misbehaving( Having just read Andy cook's blog ), dropping their crankshaft nut is just one of their party tricks, this MUST be loctite'd in place or she'll only drop it again ;)But she will be a lot of fun around all those twisty passes. Enjoy !GordonI did explain that to Team T and also told them that they will have to get a decent socket on it after we managed to get it back on with just a pipe wrench, so hopefully it will stay in place fro the duration.strangely with all the 1300's I have owned I have never lost a crank nut although I know plenty that have.

Tim Bancroft Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 All cars visited Moordale Motors on the way to Dover and I know that Dale and his team torqued the crank nut up as well as using Loctite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great album, one of my favourite TPH offerings. Interesting one, in that TP basically went to court with his own record company in order to make the album he wanted. And he won :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
