Paul:
By my recall, I have only seen this question one time (05/19, yesterday) and
in fact saved it so I could respond since I wrote a tech article for our
Triumph Club on this process. Since we cannot post attachments, I will send
the article directly to you. If anyone on the list would like this, send me
an email and I'll send a file to you also.

Subject: [TR] no-response/ gas linkage?
Sorry, but this is a repost. About twice a month I ask the list a question,
but, I get no response. I figure it might be because:
1. the question gets lost in cyberspace. This is substantiated by the fact
that I don't see it appear on the list (I think the digest version of the
list
may get it somehow.) Is this true?
2. nobody knows the answer, or at least dosen't care to post an answer (I'm
not condemning here).
3. my question is unclear
4. their sick of me and my assinine questions.
Oh well, is my response. I loose about 15 seconds of sleep worrying about
it.
Am I on target for my no-response responses?
Potentially I could loose alot of sleep if I don't heed a good response to
this one:
I don't know how I did it but years ago when dissassembling my TR3 I took
out
the 2' accelerator pedal and shaft without enlarging the 1 1/2" holes in the
body just above the tranny. The book shows this shaft will come apart by
drifting out two tiny mill pins (which are barely visable and I know my
alteration would definatly not be an improvement). This shaft is held solid
by 2 plastic donut-looking white bearings which allow the shaft to pass
thru.
If only I could pass thru the hole one of the metal bearing-half retainors
then I would not need to take it apart. And I am not Houdini so how did I
get
one thru that 1 1/2" hole?
Thanks,
Paul Dorsey
