Re: Triumph 1500TC Crankshaft Nut
I've got one that I cut down to fit on the end of a gun for a scrap engine whilst still in chassis. Works either way though with 3/4 to 1/2" adapter. As I don't have the car anymore, I'm happy to post it to you.

Re: New member looking for parts
I've got a new and unused front subframe in South Devon. Painted in 2k gloss black and waxoyled inside. I never got around to changing before I sold my car. Pm me if you want it. I'll throw in some spare suspension components too.

Re: 44d4 vacuum unit
Keep hold of them. They're no use to me anymore, without a dolly. People on this forum have been so very helpful to me, it's just the start of my unloading parts.

Re: Plating on Triumph parts.
Yes, yellow dye after zinc plating. I had mixed results but eventually replated the SU parts. I bought a plating kit from just down the road from me, in South Devon.

Re: INSURANCE
Unfortunately I have a criminal record (mental health issues) from 4 years ago and my insurance jumped from £88 with Peter James to £636 with Adrian Flux!

Re: White smoke mystery
White smoke tends to be steam. If you have an expansion bottle it might, due to the heat and built up pressure, relieved itself of a small amount of water directly onto the exhaust manifold . It doesn't take much to create an impressive display. It may not appear to have lost anything. Graham ...

Re: Radio wiring
As stevie says, fit one of these and wire in the four speakers, no need for an amp etc or big fat cables.

Re: door mirrors
They usually "pit" by themselves after a few years! Not a big job to fit, just put some primer or hammerite in the holes after drilling them else they'll eventually rust.

Re: Tyres
Doesn't the Tolly have 4.5J rims? Aren't 175s going to be a bit wide for them? I'm about to put hand in pocket for some Dunlop Street Response 2s (155 80 R13 79T) which should come in at under £50 each fitted.
I have these all round and they're smashing tyres. I was so happy with the fronts ...

Re: Fuel vapourisation remedies
Look on page 19 of this month's magazine. I did a similar thing with aluminium as it dissipates heat quicker. I riveted a small bit of angle onto the flat bit that folds underneath my HIF38s, then a expansion spring and it's perfect. I can't post photos here but I'll put some on Fb.

Re: Engine judder poor acceleration.
Cheap Chinese distributor? £23 ignition unit? Before I go on about my loathing for them, how was it running beforehand? What engine are you working with?

Re: Balancing and Machining Recommendation
Have you heard of Ratt Racing in Torquay? He gets all his balancing done by his mentor including lots of A series stuff. The chapter that does it is called Dave Phillips from Philspeed Engineering in Kingskerswell. As another suggestion he doesn't have a recent website and the one he does have has ...

Re: Pictures of a Saab 9-3 radiator fitment
I have a civic radiator fitted and I'm just down the road in Newton Abbot. I can't upload pictures here but can to an email or Whatsapp.
