Taken some time to strip out the final bits, a good clean and new seals to fit.
The shaft and bushes have no detectable wear . There does not appear to be a spigot bush in place! Tomorrow i will be collecting the bits to complete. Should i take back the shaft and bushes or keep as spare?
Fit the new pin, and the new shaft bearings in addition to existing ones. Also replace fork end square bearings.
take shaft back.
Spigot bush is in flywheel, not crank. Did it fall on floor as flywheel came off?

Do you know the part number? Thought i had a parts manual but as usual cant find it when you need it, where abouts are you if needed?
I am Colchester, and Ipswich for work during the day.

I might have a spare 2.5 flywheel about.

Not so sure of the holes in the flywheel and if you look carefully is that a crack at the bottom on the face?
I am not sure about the extra holes either.
most odd.

Apart from the fire damaged one, they all look like they could live another day

I get my W7 DTC from green spark plug co. Seem very good to deal with.
much harder to foul in a PI, but I have managed it, hopefully not with the rebuilt engine.

Hmm!. that`s interesting, not just because I could not log on, which prompted me to do some checking. My Membership lapsed during the the last lockdown!. So now I have to chase up and re-new. Dohh!. Are H O working normal hours currently?. Or on short time?.

Angie seems to be working all hours from what I can tell, I am sure she said she is back in the office regularly now as well.

Nigel, if you have fitted all single rail internals into a 3-rail case you use the single rail OD adaptor plate.
the original 3-rail adaptor is smaller so won't work with the longer large tip mainshaft. It is also f***ing expensive when you can find one. Seen them for £200 recently.
you do need to shave a tiny bit off top edge so the reverse light switch fits.
I had a thread on the subject recently, will try and find it.
I have 2 gearboxes built up in garage, one an original 3-rail 1850 small tip OD box and a single into 3-rail with large tip OD box.
Can get you photos

Look on the bright side, you could own a GT40, you could get a complete GT6 conversion for the price of 1 coupling, and have change, almost enough for a GT6 coupling in fact.

If you choose the right colour, silver or silvery metallic, it won't ever look really dirty won't need washing.
you could always go for a post purchase paint treatment (not from dealer unless it is free I am sure I read as they grossly overcharge) which would make it easier to wash.

That is really sad, hopefully the club will be able to find a way to pass on the thoughts of the members that Mark and Jo helped over the years.

Thanks pete, looks very detailed
Local member Pete (BFG) has just done his TR clutch, and snapped cross pin. Lots of pictures and photos. And a shopping list.

I added up my Triumphs a while back, about 50, but less than half were drivable, Andy less than that on the road
had about 20 "moderns" as well

Ah, but how do you get them into Europe in the first place.
We pay a fixer to take them across in a inflatable dingy?

It may well be a throw back to an older model, or perhaps they contemplated an under floor fuel tank originally?
not good for PI, so I suspect that is what it was.

You don't mention what car the starter is fitted to.
is it a 1500 perchance?

This looks interesting... does it pull more amps / watts than the standard motor?
Not really apparently. I have one ready to fit to my Mk3 Spitfire. Much better motor design.

Never seen one rusted in that badly.
looks like you sacrificed a few sockets as well.

Do you read this as saying effectivley Vehicles used before 1st April 1986 are not to be failed, even with LED lights?
Pete
I read it that everybody has been worrying unnecessarily for the past few weeks.
If it had been correct then it would have meant changing the C&U regs of which the vehicle lighting regs are part, and you can't do that in the way it was being proposed.
-
Very little shared I think.
doors are same shape,
Toledo rear end very similar to 1300fwd.
Front if 1300fwd is unique
Some lights are same.

Big saloons have earth on holders, GT6 and Spitfire don't
big saloons don't have earthing problems, spitfires and GT6 do.
You need big saloon ones.

Might be worth checking the seal on the cabin side is intact.
probably a split in the diaphragm

DVLA will not tell you anything, citing data protection, unless of course you are a extortionist posing as a parking control company.
