Which also only needs to be done once. I would suggest just doing those things as a pre-emptive strike; rather than waiting for a failure. I thought I had done exactly that with my recently resurrected "barn find" TR3; but discovered a few days ago that I overlooked one soft fuel line ... the line from the filler to the tank. It has turned to mush and now allows fuel to slop out into the boot on hard turns with a nearly full tank. -- Randall ** triumphs@autox.team.net ** Archive: http://www.team.net/archive |
