    Unusual for a UJ to make a noise, that is usually a wheel bearing :(

    Which period kit? camber compensator? (being nosey!)

     

    Sounds like a thorough inspection needed to find the problem, unless the case broke and lost all the oil. Not always easy to spot.

    Hi Clive I took the UJ apart and there was a roll pin broken into 3 pieces some going given the short length of them. There is also a problem in the diff it is noisy and notchy when you spin it over by hand so I will be looking for a replacement. Luckily I have 2 days off at the end of the week so all being well I can get it back on the road.

     

    Thanks to everyone for the advice I will let you know how I get on.

    To rebuild existing or supply/fit a reconditioned unit?

    Mooredale motors, picton sports cars are a couple of Triumph specialists who spring to mind.

     

    If you are prepared to travel then Mike Papworth has an enviable reputation.

    Thanks Clive I will look into them

    It is making some horrible noises. Coming out of Enfield show last bank holiday weekend the diff bottomed out on a speed hump due to an aftermarket period handling kit. Then I dropped of my girlfriend when to put the car beck in the garage and the very same handling kit hit one of the security metal posts that was in the dropped position!

     

    If I could figure out how to add a video I would I have posted in on the Facebook Vitesse page and I have had some useful advice a couple suggesting it might be UJ'S rather than diff. One of the UJ'S is grunchy but the diff is also making noise.

     

    Sorry Pete I won't be able to make this evenings meeting.

  9. Fuel Pipe Around the Engine

    Hi all

     

    I have been having problems with the fuel getting to the carbs in my Vitesse Estate (many thanks to Peter Lewis for help and advise so far). I went to buy some replacement hose from the fuel pump to carbs today and I was told these should be in copper and not rubber as they are on my car does this really matter and what are the pros & cons of each rubber and copper?

     

    If it matters it is Stromberg CD150 carbs and the fuel pump is the screw in type rather then the push on pipe if it has any relevance.

     

    Many thanks

     

    Jason
