Jeffds1360 Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 The bar that holds the carb. end of the cable nipple is a touch "loose" and I cannot tighten the nut attaching it to the bottom of the exhaust manifold. Should I try harder or is there some trick to this operation? Otherwise the car (now christened Plumb) is coming on well.

Pete Lewis Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 i would tighten a little more , but exhaust nuts studs can be firmly stuck it should be a brass type nut which prevents seizure it should be tight but not gorilla hands pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffds1360 Posted July 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Thanks Pete, does the stud that this nut screws onto do anything else? I find it hard to see down there, or is it only to hold the bar that the cable goes to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 off hand without one to look at i dont know , i sort of guessed it used a exh flange stud. part 16 https://www.canleyclassics.com/?diagram=triumph-herald-13/60-acceleration-control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffds1360 Posted July 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 16 is the bar but it is bolted horizontally to the center of the manifold. (all alone I think) Not to worry, I was going to have a day off today but think I'll get my overalls on and have a better look at it (wife moans about grease on my jeans and jumpers... I don't know... wimin!!). The rear end is up on ramps now, I'm going to clean up all the drive shaft attachment bolts ready for removal and UJ replacement! Edited to say, Had a closer look and of course it bolts the exhaust manifold to the inlet manifold. I wonder if, even though it is very tight, it is actually slack as the bar can rotate, could there be an air leak ther!!!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 no air leak ther its just a support . its quite easy to strip or shear the stud pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
