The center rear capping goes on the bottom, the two curved pieces go on top of it. Sorry, don't have any pictures or a reference handy. Probably different between the early and late 3A body. ISTR th

When you say "spindle", do you mean the vertical link or the horizontal pin that extends through the lower A-arms (which is actually the trunnion proper) ? The horizontal pin should be a tight fit i

Putting them back together might help ? Sorry, couldn't resist. There should be a short tube protruding from the back of the control head, that fits over the stator tube. The short tube has dimples

Indeed, I had a rear brake hose fail (causing the rear brakes to drag all the time) right after I started wearing a black leather cap ! But new hoses are clearly made of sterner stuff, since it's ne

Yes indeed ! I didn't believe that when I first started owning Triumphs, but proved it beyond doubt on my TR3A back in 1978. Replaced every seal in the system, flushed & filled with an American DOT

Only a little. Silicone actually boils at a higher temperature than DOT 3/4; but it does become more compressible before it boils. If you are running past the point where you would have already lost

Oh, is that all. Easy to solve : just take a break any time you add to the MC, to give it time to "breathe". The bubbles will rise to the top. Randall == This list supported in part by The Vintage T

Unlikely, IMO, since the carb bowls are fairly high. Since you are already having trouble with crud in the fuel, my first suspect would be the check valves in the top cover. My experience with faile

So in other words, if you have air bubbles in the brake lines, the brakes don't work so good. Someone should tell Tom Birch that is true whether or not you have DOT 5 ... Randall - Waiting for the A

That much is true. However, I've found that, rather than worrying about all that special handling; all you need do is take a short break immediately after adding to the MC and before continuing to b

Definitely not required. OTOH, it certainly wouldn't hurt anything. I've used Valvoline full synthetic in my TRactor motors for many years. Works great for me. Randall == This list supported in part

My suggestion would be to go ahead and remove the pump from the engine, so you can be sure it's assembled correctly. With the top off the pump, you should be able to blow into the inlet past the che

There you have it, then. Type R is made from castor beans, and biodegrades readily. Just don't leave it in your engine too long; or it will biodegrade right in the crankcase ! Randall == This list s

Very common, IMO. The cage will only take so much force, and then deform so the nut spins uselessly. If the cage itself isn't too rusty or weak from bending, then you can bend the 'ears' back in to
