Hi !

Yeah.. its really depressing that they have done it like this.

No other Triumph forum does it like this.

 

Drain plug I made/drilled.

Only takes 5min 😅

Cheers is it magnetic ?  I was thinking of doing the same, I presume its a BSP thread ?

And another friend his diff was leaking.. but then very big oil leaks started.. 

Opened up the diff.. ffs this had a bad day.

But he was oh so lucky it seems, can be fixed.

A crown wheel bolt washer fell apart.

Got between the pinion and crown.. a small piece of the pinion broke off..

That piece and pieces of the washer went behind the inner pinion bearing and got stuck.. and worned out the bearing.

Need a few new parts and bearings and its all good to go.

 

Oh and it has a 6 stud case with 2 closed off as its in a late Spitfire.

And typical on 1500 diffs, fibre washers.. gone.

Time to upgrade to the earlier style.

NTN bearings now ordered and waiting for them to arrive to crack on.😅😅

Hi Wimpus, glad you are still posting (TSSC have got it very wrong on their forum).  Was that drain plug your addition ?
