My GT Mk3 overlooking the A1(M).

Hi and welcome. Love your TR !

My GT6 usually goes to a couple of Boxing Day meets and for a quick spin during the winter months if the roads are dry and salt free.

Great to know you are pleased with the engine re-build. Now you have got me checking my piggy-bank ....... !

Hi and welcome SP - the respray looks great !

Hi and welcome Brooky. Good luck with the GT6 project.

That is great news for the owners !

Thanks for posting Paul, but I have enough carbs in my collection already ........ ?

My 1980 Built MGB was first registered in 1996, hence the registration:

Hi and welcome !

In this area we have many similar informal meets for "classics" but in country pub car parks. All marques and ages of cars turn up and (usually) open their bonnets while the owners are happy to discuss their cars attributes. Definitely not a rug or flask in sight !

Hi and welcome, Will. Good luck with the search. Nick

Hi and welcome. Good luck with the search.

Buntingford closed it's High Street yesterday and put on it's annual classic car show. A number of Triumphs were being displayed: :

Following this with great interest .......

That was what I bought recently at £18 each, carriage is a bit cheaper for multiple buys.

Hi Nick and welcome ! Nick

Hi Dave, just love your toys ....

After finding the offside rear hub nut loose decided to replace both nyloc nuts and flat washers on each side with new ones. The offside hub nut was easily replaced but the thread on the nearside shaft appeared too large to accept the new nut or even the old offside nut so the original nut had to be replaced. Visually both the old left and right hand nuts look identical and take a 15/16 socket to remove. Unfortunately once installed little is visible of the troublesome threaded end of the shaft which does appear to have been rather butchered in the past.

I now have a replacement non-leaking radiator fitted to the car and the original leaky radiator has been repaired and joins my ever increasing store of GT6 spare parts.

My replacement radiator with the new cap is now showing no signs of leakage and a scalded hand proves it is pressurising. Very strange ! Now on to the next problem - new hub nuts that fit the thread on the offside shaft but not the nearside shaft .....

The ongoing saga of my GT6 radiator: Bought a used, but tested good, replacement radiator and had it fitted yesterday. As soon as system was hot and pressurised, coolant appeared at exactly the same spot near the filler neck as on the original radiator. Many rude words later and much checking and rechecking of hoses for pinholes, clips for tightness I decided in desperation to try a new radiator cap, courtesy of my local MG specialist. Mirabile dictu - I no longer appear to have a leaky radiator. Has anyone got a logical explanation as to how the old filler cap was able to create a convincing impression of a leak ? I now wonder if the repair to the filler neck on my original radiator had actually been effective but disguised by the radiator cap creating a problem.
