Hello, I need to press new rear bushes into my diff casing, it looks like they will be an incredibly tight fit! I have a press at work nut we have all been sent home for the forseeable, I was contem using treaded bar to pull the bush in but if anyone has any suggestions that would be great, I presume heating the flange and popping the bush in freezer might also help? Tom.

Hello Fellas, I've out the Triumph loop for a good few years with my 1200 convertible gathering dust in the garage. I've decided to use the time I have at the moment and the next few months by the look of it to really make a dent on the work required. I know parts quality and price can vary massively, I was shocked to see a body mount kit from Canley classics is £29 but from Rimmers is close to £100!!! But is there a big difference in quality? I don't want anyone to explicitly rubbish a company more of a guide as to where might be the best place to source certain items. I dont mind spending a bit more for a quality item, I really find it annoying spending any amount on junk! This is my list at the moment. Rear outrigger Bodymounting kit Rear crank seal Timing cover gasket and seal Fan and Pulley clutch reservoir cap seal Clutch and brake pedal return springs rear flexi brake hosesGearboc front seal clutch kit Obviousy a one stop shop would be great and reduce postage!!! Tom.

Thanks for the welcome chaps, my list growing daily but with current events I do have a bit more time on my hands!!

Hello, I bought my first Triumph in 1995 a very ropey MK3 Spit, I had just graduated and it was all I could afford!!! Can't imagine what it might be worth now? Then in 1997 I bought a tatty but solid 1500, I did many miles in that car and only sold her when my 1st child came along, I wish I had kept her though, many memories of driving all over the UK and Europe with the camping gear in the boot on the bootlid carrier and stuffed behind the seats!! The only car that brought a lump to my throat as she disappeared up the road with the new owner at the wheel! After a little while without a Triumph I then treated myself to a very cheap 1200 Herald convertible in 2011, I knew the chassis was a bit ropey, I drove it for a season then started attacking the list of jobs I'd drawn up. The chassis turned out to be worse than I first feared....always the case I know! I removed the rear tub, the scale of the work boggled me a bit and I bottled it and didn't do much on it for many years. It was in danger of becoming a unfinished project sale but I got stuck back in about 3 months ago. I was a member of the TSSC for a good few years, I intend to join again soon. I'm hopimg to get a little help to some of the questions I have to help me get the old girl back on back on the road asap! Tom.
