My 13/60 convertible has the reel mounted on the wheel arch. They work. Make sure they are a model designed to work in any position though.

I forgot to say there are threads on the subject somewhere on the forum.🤔 Brain isn't functioning well as it is past my bed time, I'm usually in bed by October . . . .💤

Oops! I typed a more detailed reply after the yes but somehow lost it 😒 I have them in my 13/60 and they work fine. A bit of a pain to initially set up though. The most important point is to make sure you get a version where the reel is designed to be fitted in any direction. I don't have the details to hand but I think they are Securon 500/30

Yes

You should not have said that!

Many years ago we went into the casino in Monaco. Wife borrowed a franc played a machine and won ten. She decided to leave while ahead. Did I get my franc back, like heck! 🤬

I have them fitted to the wheel arches on my 13/60 convertible and they work fine. You need to get a version that is designed to be fitted at any angle. They were a bit of a bind to set correctly to start with though.

Pneu is French for tyre. Just as the 'p' is pronounced in 'taking the p!## the 'p' is pronounced in pneu, short for pneumatique. Pardon my French 😏🇨🇵

I saw her on stage in London in a performance of 'Follies' in the West End. She wasn't the reason I went. Acting and singing she could do but they 'amended' her role so she didn't have to dance. This was several life times ago when we still lived in England

I nearly said that but I'M too polite 😇

Yes, very slow this morning. Not my internet connection, it is as fast (slow) as usual.

Are you turning the key the correct way? I know it sounds daft but mine can be locked by turning the key in either direction but only unlocks if it has been turned in the correct direction to lock it. It is probably due to old lock, recut key etc

I also have the 'T' shirt for this 🤫

I can revert to being a grumpy old git, plus being embarrassed. So that is what the dot and star are for! The star also points out that I have been following that thread. 🙄

Me again. Just to say I really do miss the option of going straight to the first unread comment on a thread. This is a very useful option. On this thread, for example, this morning I had the options of either going to the start of the subject or going to the last posted message. Going to the last posted message meant I had to backtrack to last nights and this mornings postings to get to where I was the last time I logged on, it even needed me to go back a page. If the 'first unread' option can be reintroduced I'll be a happy chappie. No I won't I'll still be a grumpy old git but at least on this forum I'll pretend not to be 😁

After the initial shock of the changes I'm getting the hang of it. It is impossible to have something that everyone likes. Think about it, we don't all have the same model of Triumph because we are different and want different things from our cars. I take my hat off, well I would if I wore one, to all those who put the time in to keep things working 👏

I flushed my Heralds heater out with mains pressure water and the garden hose, the hose was a perfect fit to the inlet on the valve. Pressure in the house is limited to 3 bars, I think.

In the case of the "27th..." post, after the text there is a small clock and "18 minutes ago" this is what you click on to go to the last posting. You have the "expanded" option selected hence the text and clock/time on the left. If you had the compressed version you don't get the text and the clock/time is on the right

I use google Chrome and I see the clock icone, it is on the right of the first part of the comment

Round out how to go directly to the latest post on a thread. Click on the clock logo and time

And a couple of options when you look at the "unread" heading. No longer the option of going to top of page of last read comments or going to the first non read post - the one I use.

The magazine mailing list would have all countries for all members

I don't have a garage 😤 but do have an insulated mug, my wife's really, it is Mexican - Day of the Dead !

I rarely drink & work on the Triumph at the same time, the tea either gets cold or spilled. If I did I suppose I ought to use my bright red 'Force Ouvrier' union mug with their logo on 'FO' to warn people away and not interupt.

OK, so probably best to go gently on the hinges then rather than striker. Although if moving the striker is simple then I might move it first all the same to see how it turns out, I can always back track. Humm... Now just need a dry day so I can get out there
