I’m after 

boot floor 

rear valance 

sills-and floor pans, both sides

I’m hoping someone has some tucked away surplus to requirements  

The stupid thing is there’s NO short of fuel 

A local independent, they’ve got 13 garages,, say they have got plenty of fuel it’s just the panic buyers are emptying the tanks as fast as they can fill them 

Now the indicators are functioning the car will be going for a run on Saturday,, first time in 7 years 

I’m sure we’ll have  a small list to do after 

Things left to do

Sort indicators 

horn

finish refitting interior including dash and carpets 

front valance

busy day tomorrow 

As it stands we just need to finish refitting the interior, mot it and fettle

Thanks for that 

took a bit of swiping on the I phone but found it 👍

I lent my workshop manual out . 
I need to double check the wiring to the ignition switch on a mk2 gt6

Hi Jason 

can you change the car for our entry,164, to mk2 gt6. Blue 

Ta muchly

we've still got  a a few hundred to collect 

whilst ,in some ways i would agree. that a sweeper/recovery [call it what you like] car could be seen as going against the spirit of of the event..are we forgetting that the origin of the event was , for the triumph motor company to prove how reliable  their NEW cars were

these cars are no longer new and a bit of a helping hand shouldn't be dismissed..whether it's from a fellow participant or a couple of nerfherders in a modern ,sometimes a pair of fresh eyes can spot an easy solution to what seems an unfixable one

a couple of things i did notice though...one car carrying way too many tools..more than they could hope to use ..and one car was def lacking a bit or pre event prep [  i know mine wasn't there due to a failing new part]

i think..out of the 9 or 10 cars we helped 3 or 4 ended up being recovered  

as for the route ...the sunday pm def needs tidying as long as the cake fest stays

we only had a few spares with us...i just grabbed a couple of boxes out of the saloon and slung them in the back of the truck...these were 6 spot spares

full set of ignition inc distributor

alternator

belts

wheel bearings

leccy bits

leccy fuel pump

fuel  .well petrol ..not diesel

i know there is the reliability aspect to it but we are dealing with cars, in some cases . that are older than the owners so not expecting to have to change something on a long trip could be classed as unrealistic..and that's where the spares list comes in ..who's carrying what.and a fresh pair of eyes can oft see a problem previously overlooked 

It was a case of making best of a bad situation, as a new part failed on my saloon, on the way to the start, we arrived in katies modern triuck.not the done thing to do a triumph event in a toyota, so they prety much invented the job of course closing/ rescue truck.it was hard, but an enjoyable task

Greta .you were in little danger of the sweepers overtaking you ..at one point, friday night we were running 2hrs behind latest arrival time...by gledrig we'd managed to claw it back to arrive 10 mins after the last car had left 

some people prefer the face to face put it on a bot of paper method 

this will be the first choice   completely bog standard car...apart from the wheels,diff,engine,exhaust ,seats

just had a look A

apart from actually sending the entry form off...as it stands ...nowt ..but i'm sure that will change

my humour is normally far too advanced for your ilk ...

bloomin typical ..whenever anyone shows a spark of interest they wanna shut it down

17.4 AF  18.9 AL  It is an old dizzy ,.... 25D

water pump housing-head gasket missing as well

did it have overdrive before then?

we did do that with everyone getting a morrison's card ....i only stopped at two morrisons all the way round
