    I will apply for a holiday for the 6th, though this is a pain in the butt and can take up to a week, and then it can be refused   I will keep my fingers crossed

    Did 291miles on the 3 Counties Rally (it was supposed to be 75miles approximately  ) We like to get our monies worth out of these events 😀 Now I have some more jobs to do before the RBRR 🤔 Quill shaft Where's my long list

    Just as well I am doing the 3 counties rally as a pre-pep of 'Poo' for the RBRR cause I found this 1hr ago   Now the strange thing is it was driving 🤔 I just knew old 'Poo' was economical 😀 So instead of my usual quick fix I went to the trouble of fitting new and longer 'expensive' fuel line 🙂
  8. Ridgetone Triumph
    Please add to the spare parts list, one 6 pack 😀

    I have never taken any spares with me whenever 'Poo' has been on any event, nor tools...................hope this isn't going to be a bad omen   Don't worry folks, 'Poo' will be doing the 3 Counties this weekend as a pre run 😉 May even pop into TRGB for their hog roast (on the way to the hotel so not up too early on Sunday) and to show these TR drivers a TR in full dress 😀

    Mark will be alright his legs wont reach the back of the front seat  
  12. Ridgetone Triumph
    Well, so close to being ready and yet so far.................Need 2 new rear tyres, oil change and filter, and looks like I will have to swap the front passenger seat to accommodate a rear seat passenger. Just looked and the BMW seats have 2 inches spare for back seat persons legs to squeeze in

    A couple more jobs to do after the gearbox change The extension on the short tail pipe will hopefully reduce fumes entering through the after market tailgate rubber when the windows are open The cross member mounts were long over due.....Like 6 years 😀

    I have fitted an SD1 servo to my TR7 V8 taken from my SD1 Vitesse in actual fact I have used the entire SD1 Vitesse brake system through out. I had to modified the connecting rod to the brake pedal and make all new lines but the pedal feels really good and the brakes sharp. 😉
  17. Ridgetone Triumph
    I have this to do...............Soon 🙂
  18. Ridgetone Triumph
    Arrr Ted always a master 😉

  20. Ridgetone Triumph
    Thank goodness for the toolbox in a can 😀
  21. Ridgetone Triumph
    I have had one jammed before (well a few actually), there a pain in the butt, but easily sorted if the lock is unlocked. Press the button in super hard and with your other hand (providing you have some type of long thin fingers) pull the door open. It is the tongue on the lock that doesn't push down enough to clear the catch. Then once open you can adjust it with 4lb hammer cold chisel 🙂

    Tappets

    Ridgetone Triumph replied to Davemate's topic in Engine

    Oh just another thought......Over revving!!!!!! This happened on my Mercedes when I was racing it over a 3 year period, it had slowly ground the tops off the lobes 😀

    During the war.............No, but when my Mum was running her 2000 (a few years ago 😀) it went through a stage of regular tappet adjustment phase, after further investigation it was discovered that the oil feed to the rocker pedestal was completely blocked. Just a thought, though I know you have a reconditioned engine, it mostly wont be that 🙂
