I’ve just got one so I missed out and yes mine was very rough and blocked 

Hi Glang . Thanks for the info I did see the that explains why I’ve seen the chassis plates for sale on flebay. 

Hi. I’m just being nosy but I didn’t know that the body comes off when I brought my car as I nether had a triumph herald before and not long brought mine. I was so amazed so I had a look at my car and could see the bolts then when looking for parts I’ve seen all the parts on sale including roof to chassis. It’s very interesting to see and read that people actually taking them apart but if I was going to replace my chassis would I have to get a logbook with it or can I just transfer the chassis number over as I mentioned I’ve never done or heard of this before. 

Yes I know what you mean Wendy. It’s just working out what to do next as there is so much to do. I still have the sunroof to finish off the rubbers on the side windows the dashboard carpet and so on. 

Thanks Clive. I did wonder what the bolt was for at the back when I had the manifold off near the pipe I will give it a good flush. I was surprised that water got through the pipe that begin with. A little job getting bigger. 

I have done it now I was going to put it on today went to replace the pipe behind the manifold then I see this I thought it was oil at first head gasket but the water is clear then when it dried out it looks like cork so I’m hoping that it is rad weld . Just need to get the nuts and olive as the pip  didn’t come with them

Heat and a stud extractor.

I’ve already drilled them out just waiting for the tap as I have a set but sods law I can’t find a tap I need.

I did try welding the nut but just rounded it off. Didn’t try diesel don’t like the smell. So I just cut it level and drilled them out. And taped a new thread in. Thanks again for your advice got some new ideas that I’ve not heard of before

Spark erosion? 

Not heard of spark erosion. ? 

Hi Clive. I have tried to hit it with a hammer but no go. I have a welder but it seems very rusted in so I think it would just snap off again I was hoping for something else on the market that might work but have to resort to the old fashioned way drilling it out. I’ll let you know how it goes. Thanks again. 

Hi not reply to this for a little while working on other parts of the car. I’ve got the sunroof off. And will attempt to put the spare one on that come with the car I haven’t looked at it yet but will post pictures up soon when I go round to the garage again.

I would have said heat is the only way left now. A beefy blow torch to heat the flange to expand it and then try turning the remains of the studs...

Hi glamg. I have tried to heat it up but I only have a hand held one it won’t glow red. I may have to drill it out and hope for the best. 

Hi I’m having trouble with the studs on my triumph herald 1964 . 2of the studs have broken off and well rusted in. What is the best way to get them out 

Hi. I have just seen this and I am going to strip down and clean my carb it’s the same as the one here it looks like it hasn’t been cleaned for a long time what is the best way of going about it and what to look for. At the moment it seems to be not very responsive. And how do I go about setting it up once I have cleaned it all. Any suggestions would help me a lot as I’ve not worked on this type of carb before.

Hi. Thank you both for your information I have now got it on my iPhone. I am now trying to get the studs out of the manifold they are so rusted in 

I tried to put it on my iPhone but not having much luck

That’s bad luck I had the core plug behind the manifold leak  on Mabel  I fitted a new stainless water return pipe on her too 

Where did you get the pipe from I’m trying to find the place that sells the pipe with the flange they say fit and forget that is what I want to do.

It looks a lot better. I do like the pipe nice job 

I did try to remove the pip without removing the manifold first but no go and I did what to see if the cor plug is ok. Getting the down pipe off is a pain in the harry then 2 nuts broke off now I have to get the studs out. Next step is the carb stop down and clean then find out where all the oil come from.

Oh dear now I do feel bad but I thought you could get the pipe out to inspect it first without removing the manifolds☹️

Don’t feel bad all advance is welcome 

Hi. All I have taken off the manifold not a straightforward job as I thought I had to undo the exhaust and broke two studs to get the pipe at the back which I have now removed and it is the pipe which is leaking as in photos now I’ve just got removed the broken Studs And replace with a new pipe, clean the carburettor And put it back together. 

Hi I was wondering if you had sorted out the problem as I was reading this but didn’t say if sorted out. It’s just in case someone had the same problem or someone like me would like to see if did find and fix it.
