1. Re: TR6 trailing arm stud that I can helicoil? (score: 1): Author: spamiam@comcast.net; Date: Tue, 07 Feb 2006 20:09:16 +0000; My impression was that they just jump out on their own! I helicoiled a few of mine (stripped by a DPO!) and everything worked fine. I used studs that were coarse on one side and fine on the other. I; /html/triumphs/2006-02/msg00758.html (9,394 bytes)
2. re:Speedometer needle (score: 1): Author: spamiam@comcast.net; Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2006 15:22:34 +0000; Well, it is a little hard to get the pointer off sometimes. I had found that I can sometimes pull hard on the pointer's hub while twisting (and holding the drag cup stationary) and it will come off.; /html/triumphs/2006-02/msg00840.html (8,986 bytes)
3. AC fuel pump part 2 (score: 1): Author: "Anthony Rhodes" <spamiam@comcast.net>; Date: Sun, 15 Jan 2006 11:53:43 -0500; Well, that sure is a nice job. I like the special tools you made. Unfortunately for people like me, I have no lathe to turn those things. You should produce a few and sell them. I buggered up one oth; /html/triumphs/2006-01/msg00972.html (7,119 bytes)
4. re:larger master cylinder and hydraulic pressures? (score: 1): Author: "Anthony Rhodes" <spamiam@comcast.net>; Date: Sun, 15 Jan 2006 12:14:55 -0500; I would think that that ALL the system is pressurized to the same 167PSI when your foot is on the pedal, is this not correct? It seems to me that when I brake normally, I am using no more than the a; /html/triumphs/2006-01/msg00974.html (9,231 bytes)
5. Re: larger master cylinder and hydraulic pressures? (score: 1): Author: "Anthony Rhodes" <spamiam@comcast.net>; Date: Sun, 15 Jan 2006 23:08:23 -0500; Ah, there it is 10.5:1.5!!!! That explains it. This makes the tensile stress in the caliper something like 3600 pounds (not PSI). Even so, this is very low compared to the strength of those 4 big bo; /html/triumphs/2006-01/msg00981.html (8,125 bytes)

What you need is a little variable depending on exactly what you mean by "rallying" .

8. Calipers (was gearbox mount) (score: 1): Author: spamiam@comcast.net; Date: Thu, 29 Dec 2005 21:31:43 +0000; And what? 3 square inches for the caliper's piston = 15,000 lb tension on the bolts? I have eard here that the bolts are tensioned to create a certain degree of elongation of the bolt itself. Re-usi; /html/triumphs/2005-12/msg01508.html (8,242 bytes)
9. RE: Alternator Kit (score: 1): Author: spamiam@comcast.net; Date: Thu, 29 Dec 2005 21:46:32 +0000; Well, I believe that Triumph Rescue sells them (www.triumphrescue.com). It is not all that hard to do. You need a Delco 10SI alternator, 3:00 plug position. The VTR website tells the electrical conne; /html/triumphs/2005-12/msg01510.html (6,823 bytes)

I completely understand the logic of these bolt fasteners, and I completely understand the idea of never re-using them.

11. Re: Brake Caliper Conspiracy (score: 1): Author: spamiam@comcast.net; Date: Fri, 30 Dec 2005 18:14:51 +0000; I agree completely. All we need to know is the required clamping force, and what degree of pre-load on a particular bolt will give us that amount of force. I think these are the only issues.

But even one of these bolts is more than capable of holding 15,000 pounds with little elongation. I do not know the exa; /html/triumphs/2005-12/msg01549.html (10,704 bytes)

Re: thermostats (score: 1): Author: "Anthony Rhodes" <spamiam@comcast.net>; Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2005 18:27:59 -0400; I was not aware that there was a factory approved thermostat interchange with a non-sleeved type. For what it is worth, my 4A (CTC73336) was supplied with a sleeved thermostat from the factory. Smith; /html/triumphs/2005-10/msg01636.html (8,346 bytes)

Your charging system will be happy to dump MANY amps into the battery very happily. The Optima company does not say any; /html/triumphs/2005-09/msg01915.html (8,462 bytes)

I am coming to think that wither the battery got very discharged somehow, or it has a shorted cell.
