  1. If that whats bothering you DO NOT GO OUT ! Failing that DO NOT HIT ANYTHING ! You know the risks its your decision alone. Do really you think those who run expensive to priceless cars on track at race speeds are not aware ?
  2. You forgot the Glasgow kiss and the Glasgow smile. Us Bog Trotters have our own versions of the same Ballymena screwdrivers or knocking out of gear going down big hills Ballymena overdrive. The Sandy row special. A Monk by the neck. (Monk Export ale).
  3. I am 63 as well. Drop on floor hit with BFH Big----ing Hammer. WELL KNOWN EFFECTIVE PRESISION ENGINEERING TECHNIQUES. !
  4. Good job. My laptop buggered up BLUE SCREEN While trying and failing to fix it, it fell on the floor and instantly worked again. Happened a few times after. Drop on floor again allways sorted it. #The blue screen thing eventually went away STILL USING IT.
  5. As Nick says NOTHING FITS, MX5 seats are too high a seat base at 6ft 5 I have no chance Gt Spit seats work. I had a pair of Kirkey aluminium race seats in my EFI Gt very thin high density foam padding near the floor but the seat width to acomodate my lard arse created fitting issues had to cut the alloy in the seat corners and beat the rear inner corners of the floor pans to get them in the Gt. Getting in and out of those high sided seats another issue NOT A PRETTY SIGHT. ( Crawl in, Park arse, Roll out. ) Having a buggered back not helpful either.
  6. Who watches the speedo at 160 ? WATCH THE DAM ROAD ! Things happen really fast at 160. Even bends turn into corners.

    Best adhesive...

    Those plughole of doom badges were stuck on Jaguars with water soluable glue so they fell off first wash.
  8. Probably. Ones I have chopped up to modify have been splines. Not of use to me
  9. I had a mate who was completly insistant centre bearing could not be changed on a Sprint shaft. Till he was presented with an old one at a club meeting
  10. Big hammer ! BTW No woodruff key. it's splined.
  11. i have done this job on my 3 cars There is not a lot of clearance for these. If your column slider is siezed you can have problems.
  12. The magnetic drain plug for the gearbox fits, worth doing. AND IT IS 3/4 Hex head
  13. 1/4 UNF Any motor factors ANYWHERE should have them. UNF PRETTY MUCH STANDARD FOR GREASE NIPPLES. Failing motor factors any hydraulic shop.
  14. Koni are REALLY GOOD ! Sounds like siezed trunnion bush's. Have you renewed those lately ?
  15. Nothing wrong with splined yoke shown Just a little beat up JUST USE THE SUCKER. Changing these is a propper SOB !
  16. Triumph 2000 you will need a Rover SD1 2300 2600 bell housing, a TR7 clutch. Might need to make a 1/4 inch spacer plate from another backplate. I know I did for Gt6 conversion . Snag uses the same 2300 2600 bell housing too. Clutch and other details for the Snag NO IDEA.
  17. Ordering a Quaife is taking the plunge. A Blackline is half the price.
  18. I have 2 REAL Quaifes and a Blackline not yet fitted. The Blackline looks as nicely made as the Quaife. A LOT of these have been sold and I have not actually read a complaint.
  19. 2nd OD eats the shit out of the OD clutch EXPENSIVE !
  20. I had the privilige of acompanying the only existing 1923 Triumph 10/20 to the 75th at Gaydon. Unfortunatly the owner Jimmy Kinghan passed away some years back and I lost contact with the car.
  21. Bottom joint on trunnionless is NOT SEALED its an open spherical bearing
  22. Gt6s

    GT6 inner sills

    Completly correct lower welds are enclosed
  23. Gt6s

    Carburettors

    Noisy ? Tried earplugs ? Turning stereo up ?
  24. AHH I see. You might just as well drop the whole lot out the arse then. Only thing you are gaining is not removing brake pipes. Not the sump that fouls but backplate.
  25. Motor MUST be lifted completly vertically first, to get the back plate over the crossmember THIS CANNOT BE DONE WITH BOX ATTATCHED.
