Just what do the washers do since the joint is floating at all times? At least it better be. Dave == This list supported in part by The Vintage Triumph Register == http://www.vtr.org

I'm sending all of mine to you. New U-joints installed WITH balance cost me close to $100. And I thought it was worth that - especially since pulling the driveshaft from my TR6 involves dropping the

Perhaps it's the combilation of the '73 frame and the single pipe exhaust but I couldn't even get a wrench on the output flange. Before I replaced my frame (it is a 71 TR6 with a 73 frame) I pulled t

I don't see how since all the access is to the rear of the output flange which is in the same location in either case. When you pulled the shaft did you remove the rear mount first? Dave == This list

If you can get the throttle and choke linkages from the TR4A from whence they came you will be miles ahead. I fabricated my own and it was a fair bit of fiddly work with some resources I had availabl

The quick and dirty test is to turn the key to ON and pull the wire from the sender and touch it to the engine block. Under normal circumstances the gauge will go full scale. If yours goes full scale

Certainly worth a try but I've seen Ujoints that were so dry that the dry side wouldn't take grease. The little passage was clogged. So even if you grease them and the noise remains you may still hav

It's not a question of being contrary. Fuse rating systems are arbitrary. Do you rate them for the current they will carry or do you rate them for the current at which they will open? We arbitrarily
