"Captain Slow`s" Amphibian? Pete

Look close at first pic;. Small discoloured "notch" at the bottom of the thread?. Probably from where the failure propagated?. Unusual for rolled threads, not uncommon on Cut one`s though. Over-torquing would not help. Uncle Pete`s "Gorrilla Paws".😁 Pete

I guess Anything "like" that would be personal taste specific?. My thoughs where towords the "minilite". They where Fairly "period". and definitely looked the "business" on our (one time) Capri 2000S (which was in a rather strident orange, Black trim and "brightwork"). Pete

I was looking at Mohair in both cases?. As Said, Just curiosity, really. Don`t see a New hood being, high priority for some time yet. Unless I factor in a possible (Inevitable?) forward price rise?.

Yes I was just curious. but the VAT was included in both cases? Pete

For those of us old enough to remember the "Cheeky Seaside Post Cards". There where many with reference to the "Po". One such, even cheekier, Man Talking to Girl. Dog sat on pavement looking up. "speech" balloon. dog saying "and he thinks she`s a real blonde". P.S. Locally Diesel has finally dropped below £1-80. it got to £1-81 for a few days Pete

Someone will correct me if I am wrong. But I think, the barrel size (Dia) is pretty consistant amongst ALL locks of that era?, not just Triumph. Find one with the right Ward grooves and file the levers flush with the Existing key in place?. Pete.

Strangely. looking at Don Hoods Site, they are 80quid cheaper than Club Shop. Direct?. Pete.

I`ve seen good sized "lumps" come up for sale at Autojumbles/Steam Fairs where the S/H Tool Retailers set up? Pete

I`m not going to be "popular" then. My 13/60, already has PAS, will get MX5 Seats, and Non Standard Reel belts. As well as a "home brew" Tow bar. And if anyone can point me at a decent set of Alloys??. Pete

Respect, for all "electricity" increases, after you have survived a H-V "belt. The Doc who treated the burn said I was lucky and opined that the only reason I survived was because I was completely wet with sweat.? The Generator Flat was 120degF and 90%+ humidity. NOT to be repeated. Pete

On the "subject" of covers? Anyone ever considered or even actually replaced, the daft slot/screw system of fasteners, with DZUS fasteners?. Pete

Ahh! BUT, it is any good?. I favoured Samuel Adams?. Pete

Can Can?. Carry the can? My Gran, saw two world wars, and always refered to her "underbed facility" as the "jerry"! Pete

Ahh? Yes Serpentine Belts?. Chevy V8 6.4 Turbo Diesel in "pusher" configuration. Pete

Is that considered Racist?. In to-days P-C world?.

I wish, Oh how I wish, The Microsoft, media/computer techs would learn from that. EVERY update, F**k`s up another piece of Heritage software, needing hours of Ar**ng about to get functioning again.😡😡 Pete

I`ve got a O/E Set off E-bay. yet to fit it, but its still boxed and labeled BL?. It was on offer for 12 quid so I grabbed it. Pete

Colin, Your Humour is more warped than mine is. 🤣 Pete

Not quite a joke, didnt they put miniture ones on some space exploration ROV`s? before they sent them off into deep space to look for signs of life or whatever?. Pete

Yessssssss?. I thought the same back in 2015, Still a work in progress!. I sometimes think it`s a race, between me and Satan!. Pete

It`s very pretty. But not 29grand "pretty". Pete

Hi. This is from the Triumph Owners Handbook. if of any use.?

Some "confusion" here. My 1970 (Build) 13/60 Has Vin Prefix GE, (no legible Suffix, but Reg as Convertible from new) and Engine (1296cc) Prefix GK (suffix HE, so presumably a low compression?). Arn`t. GF prefixed Engines fitted to Spitfires? as O/E.?. And HE the high compression engines?. My understanding is the earlier cars where 1147cc?. (Model 1200?). Which would match the Figures given in the 1st Edition Herald 1200 owner handbook. So arn`t we seening an engine swap at least here?. Pete

Not really, the Petrol fumes evaporate quite quickly?.😁 Pete
