daverclasper Posted November 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Cheers Pete. Surprised myself, getting that done. Paul. It was an assorted size box from Maplins of compression and extending springs I picked up off someones wall (folk do that around here with stuff they don't want. It's great). The different sizes have been useful on a few occasions. I used the hooked, extending type to give the throttle a much lighter action, as it apparently causes much less wear on the spindles than the factory one.

daverclasper Posted November 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) That's where I found mine. Paul. Just looked. Screwfix, do something very similar/same for £8. They show the sizes. Or a model shop may sell single ones?. Edited November 14, 2017 by daverclasper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul H Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Set of 200 springs sourced from Ebay £6.25 deld - Arrived today .

jamesdennison Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Big thanks for the pic - I'll give it a go. The noise reminds me of the crickets you get in the Mediterranean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 You can eat crickets. There was a piece on the tele about a guy in UK farming them. Don't know about Cockatiels, but if Pete's fattening some up for Christmas I'll give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougbgt6 Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 I thought it wasn't very good, but then I realized, particularly around the eyes, it looks like, Leonid Brezhnev, one time Russian supremo. All is revealed and understood! Very funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave.vitesse Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 The noise is a long term feature of the Vitesse. Yes caused by the clutch plate fingers touching the release bearing. Probably present on other cars but the combination of an aluminium bell-housing and the configuration of release mechanism used appear to amplify the noise, not dampen it.

Pete Lewis Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 we did a lot of work on trucks to stop the skidding , its pretty endemic over many a year and many a vehicle finger design and finger flatness have a lot to do with it you can see diaphragm fingers curved, flatend, , burnished , ground, didly squat and so on over a range of clutches there's less noise from an old worn and nicely loose thrust and the continued alignment as the thrust is operated is essential. most lever geometry is pretty hopeless , pitching the bearing even when on a sleeve . concentric throwouts is the best answer, but thats a very expensive solution on a Triumph. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
