Isn't Chic Doig up that way? https://www.chicdoig.co.uk/

I've added this to our Events Calendar Kind regards Mike

You can get black silicone now that does not detract much from the original

Yep I have one identical. Some sumps, gearboxes, diffs etc have fill/drain plugs that have a square recess in them, needing a square peg key to undo etc. The draper one fits a variety of sizes. If you were very lucky and had a half inch or 3/8 one, a ratchet/extension would do the same job!

Sorry to hear that, hope she gets well soon!

Cracking day out was had by all, 1st Triumph - Lewis Wake (Scrapman's nephew), 2nd Ellis Stokes, 3rd Mike Bishop

11 CT entrants, see you tomorrow!

Excellent! I will consult the calendar....

Not many Roadsters in CT (if any), that I know of, although they would be most welcome! Maybe try the Pre-1940's Triumph owners club and the Triumph Roadster Club? Kind regards Mike

27 entries now, still mostly from other Clubs though. 😶

22 entries so far for what should prove to be a cracking event. Not very many from CT though 😒 Come on guys, this is an easy event, non damaging and suitable for unmodified and road cars. The Club needs your support if we are to continue to run such events into the future!

RESULTS

From Annie: Hi all - thank so much for taking part, and I’m so glad you all enjoyed the event. Like Ellis, we’ve had a few hours’ sleep and feel more human now. We’ve been back through the results slowly and manually to triple check, and I’m afraid tired Annie brain made an error on the first totting up - which is quite dramatic for one team (Team 8, don’t worry, you’re still fine!). I apologise now for this kerfuffle - it is entirely my tired eyes fault - I missed out a minus sign on the final time penalty for Team 5! So: 1st - Team 8 (49.5 points) 2nd - Team 11 (37.5 points) 3rd - Team 4 (37 points) (4th - would be Team 2, but they were in a Mini so excluded (35 points)) 4th - Team 7 (34 points) 5th - Team 5 (32.5 points) 6th - Team 9 (29 points) 7th - Team 6 (28 points) 8th - Team 1 (27 points) 9th - Team 12 (14.5 points - an impressive base score before the time penalties, given the wheel was changed too!) All really close scores, and massive apologies to Team 5 who were demoted 3 places as they drove home. Next time, organise well, and remember all minus signs! 😳

I wondered where you were! Are you doing the Hurdlemakers tonight?

Ah, I'm aiming specifically at HCR entrants in case someone could pack one in their boot! After the HCR I have other possible options but none which could help me out for this weekend 🙂

Not good at the last minute, but the Stag is playing up and I have no backup car. It has a misfire when the engine bay is hot that eventually results in the engine cutting out. I have changed the coil, this didnt cure the fault. I niow suspect the Lumenition eye in the distributor. Any chance of anyone having a spare?

Thanks Crow. It's in our events calendar. https://www.clubtriumph.co.uk/events/event/155-qracken-scatter-rally-cmc/ I've updated it to include the links!

Entries are now open for this long anticipated event. For more details and links, see here: https://www.clubtriumph.co.uk/autosolos/ct-and-cmc-spring-autosolo/

Rather different beasts! Plusses and minuses to both. Quite a few kicking a around of faceboox recently. Do you prefer manual or auto? What's your location and budget?

Great rescue, well done! maybe you should have posted these photos in your old thread to link the before and after?

Entry up to 8 cars now, would be nice to see a few more....
