    I'll be there, but with Joe as nav rather than AJ.

    Easiest? Keep it completely standard...

    Sorry, as far as I know our wedding is still on. One day I'll manage to do more events than just Mike's at the end of the year - and even so, I'll have Joe as a nav rather than AJ. I expect to just scrape into last place haha.

    You may need to be a member of facebook to see this, but here's a link to the page; https://www.facebook.com/triumphvaluations/

    There's a guy who's having them reproduced out of brass I think too. Not 100% sure on the quality of them, but I assume like Lloyd with his panels, he's going for the best quality possible.

    I've half an idea that the longer peaks were from early Heralds, and the shorter are later, or maybe the other way round?

    It's all to do with sound waves, in quarter, half, 3/4 and full form in terms of the volume. Some of the attenuation works by the exhaust pipe expanding into a larger volume causing the gas flow, and sound waves to 'stall' upon entry, other designs use baffles to reflect the sounds, but these are usually more restrictive. As a general rule an oversized pipe from optimum will give the sounds more 'bellow' and an undersized pipe will tend to cut out the lower frequencies... Exhaust design isn't witchcraft, it's just a case of fluid dynamics (treat air as a fluid and that may help the thinking a bit)... At the very top end of the exhaust spectrum, it's good to weld a high temperature resistant spike in the middle of the collector as this get's very hot, and then heats the gas as it passes through the collector, thus accelerating it and helping scavenge the cylinders even more.

    Trim removal

    Jonny-Jimbo replied to El Tel's topic in Body

    The two little end pieces should be held in with a small screw underneath, but the main long trim is just pushed on with clips - it will take some persuasion to come off though - either use a proper trim lever or a flat screwdriver with masking tape wrapped round it to help protect the paint / trim.

    I wouldn't recommend sanding an engine - it should be done properly really and skim the engine. Check piston protrusion, and if needs be, deck the pistons down a touch too.

    AJ and I have now changed our entry - the MX5 needed too much work to prepare for the event, so I decided I could only do one thing... and buy another car!! Nothing fancy in the slightest, but a nice(? little Citroen AX GT that's been used for road rallying, and is only one step away from being a stage rally car (just needs log booking really).

    I'll get the stickers made up for you Steve

    I've got some saloon shafts knocking around Jim if you want to save the fuss of rebuilding...
  14. Jonny-Jimbo
    But the actual designs, technology, manufacturing etc have all changed.

    Why do I need regulations for my wedding??? 😀

    Comparing a Triumph to a modern car is a bit like chalk and cheese, or apples and oranges etc. If you're going to fit an oil cooler, the normal position is in front of the radiator - just have a look at where you can install it easily. Maybe mount it vertically on the passenger side of the radiator, through the metal plate that supports said radiator? Consider fitting an oil thermostat too, so it only cools the oil when needed. Maybe check the oil is actually getting hot too?

    If you're stuck, I have spare shafts knocking about... but I'm in Coventry, not Hull...

    The wedding is in London too - we have no reason to get married there.
  19. Jonny-Jimbo
    Yes - it's ours and for some reason Alex has changed her name to Hazel and I've changed my name to Dejan 😀

    Hahhahahahahahhaaaaaaa......aaaa.....aaaaa...aa....a.... No. I said A wedding. 'A' wedding... not OUR wedding... I wonder if she'd be up for running a 12 car rally as our wedding, and the finish point is the church... Hmm...

    Unfortinately AJ and I are at a wedding that weekend, so we won't be able to take part.
  22. Jonny-Jimbo
    Gurty being pressed into service?
  23. Jonny-Jimbo
    There is a special test thing, which I hear will be run on an airfield / runway, but I don't know any ore than that.
  24. Jonny-Jimbo
    Entry now submitted for me and AJ in the MX5... Just need to do a lot of prep work before hand!
  25. Jonny-Jimbo
    Yes John, that is lifted directly from the EBC website on bedding in procedure for their pads.
