  1. Same as spitfire ones?
    If so, I have only had one repro LHS in my hands (a few years ago), but had the chance to compare with a NOS RHS; didn't look too bad. But you could spot the differences; the original (stanpart sticker) one had a more lose curve at the lower edge. Didn't have the two "ears" that help fixing them and missing the small "dot" next to the recess (gt6 reinforcement location?)

    Anyway - had the feeling, they would fit without to much trouble, but as stated, I haven't had the opportunity to do so my self.

    EDIT: Just had a look at Rimmers page - they seems to have improved - it has the 'ears' on now!

  2. From my parts-manual covering up to 1970-spit mk 3, I have:

    Fitted from comm.no: FD/FDU29587 approx.

    713036 Retainer, centre, header rail sealing strip
    713038 Retainer, outer, header rail sealing strip - R.H
    713037 Retainer, outer, header rail sealing strip - L.H

    Lower commission numbers seems to have been without retainer as only rubber is listed? Or might have been different due to the earlier type of hood leavers?

    I bought a 713038 (or might have been a LH-one!) from Paddock a few years ago

    Rimmer use the same partno for mk 3 and mk 4/1500. I believe they are identical.

  3. http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/ImagePopUp.aspx?i=GRID005963

    3 small holes each side - see left side of Rimmer-picture. Use cup-washers for good finish.

    As I took the picture above, I had not fasten mine.

  4. Tap it from below (i.e. upwards!) They sometimes brake though  :B
    When you remount, make sure the "=-mark" is going 90 deg. i.e. the hole for the oil gallery is next to the oil pressure switch.

    See http://thetriumphanimal.blogspot.dk/2009/08/engine-ii.html

    The plug at the oil gallery - you brake one off and rest is for the floor  8)

    Didn't know they were made of alloy though??

  5. Ideally you should have the complete crank, flywheel and clutch balanced. On my last rebuild (FD-engine) I was surprised how much the engine shop had to take off the flywheel to get it right. Don't know if you are changing only the flywheel though.

  6. IMHO much easier to take out the complete steering column - but I have only worked on the earlier type.

    Would recommend you use the uprated (nylon?) bush, as I have seen the new original ones fallen apart within a very short period.
    Don't know the quality of the ones Rimmer can supply - but they listen an 'uprated' one as http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-209423UR

  7. Basic:
    Relays for main/dipped beam...
    One for the ignition switch too.
    Fuses: Two brown wires (originally connected to same spade connector at the control box used for dynamo) - going to ignition switcy and to light switch. They are without fuses pr. original (free from memory :-)
