WIMPUS

hello,

I've bought a twin silencer exhaust a few month's back .. now here it the problem ,

How to fit the 2 silencer's at the back ??

Does anyone has some photo's where i can see where you mounted to?  :)
I've just test fitted it yesterday  ;)

kind regards Wim

I have don it  ;)

but i needed the take the spring back off .. that was the easy way is think ..

Now it was difficult to get the bolt in and we had a vice but no.. after 30 min  it was in !  ;D

I'm glad it's ok now , i think it is a little bit lower  ;)

Thanks for the great help !  ;)

Kind regards Wim

yeah i think that is the best to do ..  ;)

does anyone now the answer to my question ?  :)

ok thanks for the info , they are the same as mine  ;)

my master cilinder has rebuild by a mate his father .. so .. i don't know about it  :-/
the english had single line but round about 1980 it was tandem ( i read it somewhere)
Al the export (i think ) was tandem, i know al belgium cars where tandem line so ..
The european tandem and american tandem are not the same i have seen .. but the same pdwa :P

just on the pwda there is a different diameter .. at the master cilinder there is 2 3/8 and at the pwda there is a 3/8 for the back and a bigger one for the front ..

I can bend the new pipes into the 2 places at the master cilinder ,not so tidy then but it works maybe then  :P

i hope you  understaind it  :o

and american friends ??  mine is not american  :P ;)

here is my problem .. no 1 (pwda valve) goes to no 1 at the master cilinder (original at my spit)

But at the haynes it says otherwise .. and at the way my canley's kit is made its also like the haynes ..

Is it a problem if you mix there ? like 1(pwda) to no 2 (master cilinder) ??  :-/

i hope to get an answer  :P

Kind regards Wim

Anyone??  :-/

In my haynes manual ( also a photo of earlier in the tread) it shows that the brake line for the front brakes must run from the pwda valve to the master cilinder and must me at the front connection , but as i take my old brake line's the pipe that runs from the valve is original conectet at the back connection( close to the window)  :-/

the pipe's in the kit are also make like the drawing in haynes .. :o

Kind regards Wim

hi shaun,

I have not been busy the last two weeks on my spit , yesterday i was going to take a look at it after a week or two .. (Spit stands at my uncle's place  :P there we have a garage for two cars for the restoration).

At home my brothers Pilgrim Sumo ( AC Cobra replica) stand in the garage (unfinised)  :-/ , and outside an orange Raw Striker (Lotus Super seven replica) With toyota 1600 20 Valve (170pk)  ;D

will do !  ;)

Wim

OK .. i will look at i this weekend ..
I can neerly put the bolt in it .. but just not .. :o
So i best do not take the studs off .. just loosen them a bit ?

The studs was also a great job to put them in .. after an hour !  :o and then a seen that i was missing a bolt ..  :(

but yeah, i will tray it .. otherwise , the spring must go out again .. it's actually not a great job to do .. but on my own .; :-/ :P

Kind regards, thanks for the help already and i will be posting photo's when the bolt is in place  ;D !

Wim

You see the 4 studs from the bottom , to hold the leaf spring ..

But than the bolt across .. on the side , thats go's inbetween the leaf and true a spacer .. that bolt i don't get it in :o ...
Is it possible to get it in when the spring is already installed  :-/

Ps. the photo is from the old leaf spring ..
Kind regards Wim

I just got 1 problem .. the top mounting plate , there is a hole at the side  for a bolt ( inbetween the leaf's, true a spacer ..)

spacer sits there , but i can't get the bolt in place  :o

Do i need to take the leaf spring back of the car ?  :-/ (I hope not!)

kind regards Wim

thanks !! ;)

Thanks for the advice already !

i'm new to triumph's and to car's actually (restoring it)
i have this from june 2011 and i'm restoring it ever since  :o ;)

Ok , i didn't do anything to it for months   :)
Now i need to get the play of the front wheels next week or so and all he mechanic's are done , just for the exhaust  ;D and some other bits   ;)

Kind regards Wim , Belgium

ok thanks for the advice :d my uncle (70kg) sat in the boot today to simulate the fuel tank  ;D
I have a new leaf spring and spax shock's

hello ,

I've ordert recently a brake pipe kit from canley's ..

On the pwda valve you have a 3/8  and a bigger hole .. , but the bigger is for the front brakes (normally)..

Now when i want to connect the pwda to the brake master there is a problem ..

on the brake master the front brake pipe should be the closets to you and for the back the further's away .. is that correct ??  :o :-/

hello ,

i've just rebuild the whole suspension on my spit.. but now when it's on the ground it sits so high ..
I pushed the car back and forwards for 20 times ..  :o

Do i need a lowering block ?

kind regards Wim
