is there any more fine tuning, if you read a topic in the recent list you have to return to the browse to repopulate the recent list and is there a way to show last posters name so we have a lead to know reply has added currently just shows a date and time , or is that something we need to set up of our own settings ??? i can see there's a 'go to topic listing' tab but its right at the end of scroll down , not very visilble thanks Pete

Poor quality Column bushes
Pete Lewis replied to Valherald's topic in Chassis, Suspension & Steering
It late now but many leave the old bush in the tube drill off the lugs and get it pressed down with the new one When you have a tube full you have world record Pete -
Nick did they explain what failed on the gearbox ?? Pete
-
Like microsoft every upgrade reinvents the wheel If they designed a car the pedalswould now be in the boot Was Simple seems to now be changed to ....confusion Sorry I dont find this appealing Pete
-
from my years in gearbox reliability i would expect thats the case it may be around the intro of 4sync but thats a guess but theres little info about this subject , my last box in the VIt6 i went to mike papworth to get a 18mm spigot (like yours) but 10 spline input shaft he recognised the change, quoted you have the latest profile !! but ....sorry im unclear Pete

Flooding often due to small wear marks on the float needle contact platform which will jam , look very closely they can lead you on a right song and dance contiually flooding, the only way to adjust these orrible floats is to add washers under the needle .or fine file material off the float I have a avid hate of these carbs and now have a 2000 with hs4 on pah ! there are coments around about fuel heights front to rear being diferent but I have never found any clies to back these ideas up, the manuals give same fuel/float heights on front and rears to be the same burlen do sel stay up floats supposed to be more reliable with modern fuels having said that I have never come across a car yet with any ethanol degradation it took a pair of new floats to stop su flooding on my 2000 the only visible change was the wear from needle contact, of you lightly fettle the pad you change the height a lot ,finding a sealing washer thin enough to reset the heights is unlikley ... new float was the only compromise

Cant say when but to add to the plot there was a tooth profile change 3rd gears have 3 part numbers across the range of boxes Both use the same synchro rings and 3/4hub
-
Do count the teeth the shallow 3rd cone may be single rail not compatible with spit 3 rail .4 sync. dolly 3 rail has another 3rd gear , as you have dolly input this may be what you have so there, s 3 to choose...... which one ??? pete

im surrounded by open top cars with winkers winking full time because they either dont cancel or cant hear the clicker silly problem but can cause a awful noise if someone pulls out expecting a turn in. big buzzers are the solution Pete

once the prop is unbolted and dropped down a bit you can release the tail mount lift it high enough to remove the nut and coupling should push off ok , oik the old seal out and tap in replacement, get ready to catch any oil and top up when finished this all depends on how much floor was cut back to fit the unit, you may need to extend the cut off prop tunnel a bit more if you do jack the box up watch the exhaust and fan/hoses etc. Pete

Even the genuine Triumph wsm have a few odd misprints if you got the orig dawings/blueprints there will be odd parts that never got corrected On Trucks we had a TSA temporary substitution authority tied in to the engineering design signed off by all parties to allow deviations without altering the base drawings or design if needs must . used to correct simple errors or supply problems , keeping the lines running and solving quality problems all logged and recorded but often did not change the base engineering drawings or data which would need a part number suffix adding.
