I Hi It's actually the top ball joint nut this time and 35lbft or so my list says. There's no way I can see to get a socket on it so I guess a bit of elbow grease on a spanner. Have seen a torque spanner set but not sure how they would work Aidan
-
Hi all How do you torque up a nut when you do not have access to fit a socket and use a torque wrench? There is only access for a spanner! Aidan
-
PM'd Richard Thanks Aidan
-
Got any spare nuts? As a triple check I just tried a 5/16" ( that's the biggest I have) and its a size up on that Aidan
-
Hi Richard. Just checked on my list of torque settings and it's a 7/16 thread http://www.triumphspitfire.com/Torque.html Aidan
-
Hi Richard That's the socket size Always thought it was the same thing but hey I'm always learning new things From what I can find the tread is 7/16" would that make sense? Aidan

Hi all Replacing just rhe seals on my top ball joints as the old ones were mentioned on the last mot as in need of replacement I did not realise they were fitted with nylocs. Has anyone got a couple I could have please? Oddly on dismantling, there was a very thin now deformed washer on top of the ball joint seal. Is this usual? If so has anyone got a couple of those? Thx Aidan

I notice Kevin's user name is in red! What about another colour for members. Aidan
-
I'd be quite happy doing that although my signature is not on all my entries. Well at least shown on the mobile version Aidan

Just to add to this thread and I don't know other people's views but it would be nice to know if people on here are TSSC members or not? Aidan

I have not gone down the 4 pot route on my mk1 as I can lock up the front with decent pressure on the brake pedal. All I needed was decent pads and I did not have to go to the mintex pads which would have been my next step. Can you not send them back as they don't fit? Aidan
-
Hi and welcome Yes there's definitely something about the mk1 GT6! ? Aidan

Hi On the basis that it was fine prior to handing it over to the other owner, has he changed anything else? I just ask as I run mine with K&N pancake filters but had the carbs and needles tuned appropriately to suit. Even so, I would not have thought it would have such a major impact even without the proper carb set up. Does it start with the bonnet open? Aidan

Plus one on that Doug. We can't go back on that Aidan

Thanks for letting us know Colin. I won't be using them then! Aidan

Sorry not sure of the white material you used. When I do mine I used thick polythene sheet and gaffer tape. It's worked very well in keeping the door cards dry over the last four years Aidan

Hi Well I got my replacement pump a few months ago but from Dave Manners so I'm hoping it's good quality and will last longer than 10k!! Aidan
-
Hi Gully What was the symptom on your dad cap lip. My replacement allows the cap to completely rotate around and off again as you keep turning. I was not sure if this was an issue and if it could be resolved? Aidan
-

There does suddenly Seem to be a lot of requests for parts threads. I'm not sure they are all club members either. Another consideration for the rules?? Agree Clive we need a member or an AO to raise it. Any AO's reading this and agree? Aidan
-
Sorry.? The club shop is commercial isn't it? Aidan ?
