I have found these recently amongst some old tools. Photographed on a piece of A4 paper. I wonder what they are.

Do you have a photo of the fob?

I write a blog about Standard Triumph car dealers. http://vitessesteve.blogspot.com I would appreciate a copy.

Assuming you are running with a standard radiator I agree with previous comments. If you are running an aluminium radiator you may need to reconsider. Generally the colour corresponds to the type of corrosion inhibitors added. Modern antifreeze chemistry also extends the working life of the coolant. With a used engine like our cars have I think it's good practice to change the coolant more often to flush out the rubbish that tends to collect in the system.

You need to contact our V765 official who can help club members with DLVA stuff. @hurricane36

I am in. This morning I tipped the unit towards me and slapped it's back. First time still not able to open up. But second time after a bigger tip and vicorus shake I was able to open up. Now for a celebration tunnock biscuit and cuppa.

John No lid just drawers. Howard it's got a lot of heavy tools in it. Had to use engine crane to right it. Wil have another go at trying to rock it about to shake the contents back into the draws and away from the locking mechanism.

I have had a stack of Clarkes tool storage cabinets for many years. Unfortunately during a move into my workshop the base unit fell over. I now can not open the drawers which had been locked shut to keep them safely closed whilst I moved the unit. I guess something must have moved into the way of the lock mechanism. The cabinet is double skinned and I can not see any way into the lock mechanism. Other than taking an angle grinder to the back how can I get the thing open and get at my tools again?

2 nice estates Retro mod style. Anybody know what has been done to them.

What are you looking for? Do you want the part that connects the engine to the torque converter on an automatic gearbox? Canley Classics have a lot of Triumph clutch items and may be able to help with auto box stuff too.

Excellent biscuit and coffee stop at the club stand.

The club could do some beer mats?

I am surprised that a oil pressure relief valve don't blow first. Maybe the relief valve was stuck.

Just seen this elsewhere.

Looks pretty sorry for itself

These are available new

Please tell us approximately where you are?

I have run 205/50 r15 all round. Never had any rubbing maybe O am not driving hard enough. Avon zv5 tyres.

What size are they? I think all factory fitted wheels were 13 inch. I have a set of 15 inch on my car. Too wet to go out to check just now. These are ex mastro so I have been told.

Are you asking how to fit the bracket or do you need a bracket for your car. What car are you talking about?

Short answer you can convert to electric pump. Long answer I think later cars used a variation of the switch which includes electric pump. Check out Spitfire 1500. Also you can convert a push activated switch by taking the push pump out and using the plunger to act on a switch. Bear in mind an electric pump will move more water so you may want to fit a bigger reservoir. Have you got a no return valve in your existing system. It is a good idea to include a valve the ensures that the water does not drop back to the reservoir. Put one on the reservoir end of the pickup and another after the pump.

I saw these at a show https://www.classicdrivingdevelopment.co.uk/cat.asp?carID=15&page=VITESSE have not tried them myself. The business owner did seem to understand classic car engineering.
