Message-ID: <1144ec65-5318-531c-2ccd-e1c1272e30d0@blakedischer.com>

Listers,

I've been on the list many years, learned a ton, envy the experts both 
here and those who have passed on.? I'm putting some of my parts on 
eBay.? I thought I'd first offer up a J-Type OD unit here in case anyone 
is looking for one.? The first two digits of the serial number are 27 
which from my research indicates it is from a Volvo and provides 27-28% 
overdrive.? (I'm seeing that in a post on triumphexp.com that discusses 
Laycock overdrive serial numbers.)

I do have the mainshaft and the adapter plate. Purchased off of eBay 
from a guy in Canada, I never installed it on my TR6, it's sat in my 
basement for at least 10 years.? All I can say is that the unit spins 
freely by hand, I can't speak to any other performance.

I don't want to break up the trio, Rimmer has the adapter plate at $265 
and the mainshaft at $269.? I'm thinking I'd like to get somewhere in 
the neighborhood of $1,200 as-is.? I did check eBay, there is one 
rebuilt unit, overdrive only (no plate or shaft) at starting bid $800, 
buy it now $1,200.? That's how I'm coming up with my asking price.

Thanks,
Blake Discher

I remember the late Randall Young converting one from a Volvo for Stag. I
can't recall  the details. But it seemed a bit of work for a lay person.
The Stag uses  basically the same used on most Triumphs.  There are a
couple of gears for speedo which are unique for speedo calibration.  The
shaft is difficult to source at a reasonable price here in USA.

Since you switch mainshafts you have to take the transmission all the way
apart.  I did it, the transmission worked for about a year then stopped
going into second gear.  A lot more to the story, but ultimately decided I
had found that my level of incompetence with auto repair and will farm out
transmissions in the future (you can still save about half the cost by
pulling and installing yourself).

I am hoping this is an easy question.  Is it possible to pull the dizzy drive gear out and reposition it?  Say one tooth over?  It was really easy to do this when setting up the GT6 motor to get it right. Just wonder if there a similar, 'undo this', 'pull that', 'lift gear out and move one tooth', 'reverse steps'

Thanks
David Templeton

 I did the same thing about 30 years ago and no regrets.? I've rebuilt the transmission a couple times since, once because the main shaft was compromised ( a new one fixed that problem) and once due to layshaft bearing issues.? But it does leak and I have yet to figure out from where.

However. my paint and bodywork skills are abysmal.? I leave that to those with the right mental aptitude and experience.?

I recently purchased a used gearbox w/a J-type OD, only to find that the 
chassis mounting did not match. Another pit fall to consider if you 
aren't handy... Driveshaft must be shortened as well.. Having said 
that..70MPH at 2600

RPM is pretty sweet.? I also installed a 3.45:1 ring and pinion..? 
dp????????? We drive too fast in NM? LOL

 I never found a need to shorten the driveshaft.? 

Fitting the J-type to a pre-'73 frame takes a little McGuiver-ing.? I did it.? Another member of our local club did it, too.
Hint: rubber washers are your friend.

   Since you switch mainshafts you have to take the transmission all the way apart.? I did it, the transmission worked for about a year then stopped going into second gear.? A lot more to the story, but ultimately decided I had found that my level of incompetence with auto repair and will farm out transmissions in the future (you can still save about half the cost by pulling and installing yourself).

Remember that ?Uncle Jack?, the 1973 Triumph Stag restored by ISOA and used for the 2009 Triumph Trans AmeriCAN Charity Drive had a Laycock d? Normanville ?Volvo? J Type OD installed.

 

I know because the J OD came from my personal stores.  I donated that to the Uncle Jack build to convert a rapidly sourced and donated transmission after the original sourced J OD 4 speed transmission disintegrated on its maiden test drive.  

 

The only issue was the Volvo uses a different output flange on the output shaft which needs to be changed to a Triumph flange to allow the Triumph (Prop) drive shaft to be bolted up.

 

The standard drive (prop) shaft for a 4 speed then is a direct bolt up without modification.  The only drive (prop) shafts modifications I have seen are going from an automatic to a manual, the automatic drive (prop) shaft needs to be replaced with a manual style, which are indeed rare in the US, but can be fabricated.

Message-ID: <CAO=iLWbq9a-XG6N_vjnVWME9_Gb_kMDFckV-gWDZgS1jm3089A@mail.gmail.com>

Folks,

Spring is here, and the mind wanders to working on our cars, so I figured
this is a good time to sell off some items I'm no longer able to use
(getting old sucks, but it beats the hell out of the alternative).

I have a kit of Bilstein shocks which were designed to be a replacement for
the NLA Traction Master "traction bars" which prevent rear spring wind up
on solid axle cars.  This kit was designed by a Bilstein shock engineer for
Healeys and solid axle TRs.  Since spring wind up is all but eliminated,
acceleration is much faster.  And axle "hop" or "tramp" is eliminated under
hard braking, so the car is more stable when you jump on the binders.

For pix and more details please have a look here

Message-ID: <SJ0PR14MB4613931F2C655E427034FE52FAE69@SJ0PR14MB4613.namprd14.prod.outlook.com>

Has anyone engineered a way to avoid using a sleeve and tube nut at the fuel pump inlet? I would prefer to install a one-piece fitting on the fuel pump inlet and run a length of rubber line to the hard line on the frame, because I keep moving the curved hardline when changing the oil filter and causing the ferrule to leak. I realize I can make up a very short length of tube with a nut and ferrule; wondering if there?s an easier solution.

This is for my TR-4A, by the way.

Thanks,

Cliff

I rinse before painting.  Evapo-Rust leaves a film on the surface.  That
can help prevent flash rusting if you're not going to paint for a while,
but I don't want that easily-soluble film between the paint and piece.

Spill a few drops of Evapo-Rust on the floor or bench and let it dry, and
you'll see what I mean.

After treatment with one of those rust converters, I have been rinsing with warm water and immediately putting the part in front of a halogen lamp to dry it. Wiping with alcohol is a good idea (thanks Frank!) If I understand correctly, many of the rust converters contains some organic solvents which may not be removed with only a water wash, and alcohol would help with that. After the rinse I usually wipe with DX-330 (degreaser and wax remover) because I bought a gallon of it years ago.

Because if any of the phosphoric acid remains on the part, it can mess up the new paint.
Rinsing, and washing with soap and water, should be OK for metal parts - just make sure they are dried quickly and thoroughly (e.g. compressed air to blow moisture out of crevices).

I use this and am wondering why the instructions say to rinse off
afterwards. Won't that cause the item to start rusting again? I
typically wipe dry and apply paint.

+1 on the wiping off with alcohol

After treatment with one of those rust converters, I have been rinsing with warm water and immediately putting the part in front of a halogen lamp to dry it. Wiping with alcohol is a good idea (thanks Frank!) If I understand correctly, many of the rust converters contains some organic solvents which may not be removed with only a water wash, and alcohol would help with that. After the rinse I usually wipe with DX-330 (degreaser and wax remover) because I bought a gallon of it years ago.

I rinse before painting.  Evapo-Rust leaves a film on the surface.  That can help prevent flash rusting if you're not going to paint for a while, but I don't want that easily-soluble film between the paint and piece.

Spill a few drops of Evapo-Rust on the floor or bench and let it dry, and you'll see what I mean.

Is there enough meat there to change the thread over to 1/8" pipe thread and
then install a hose barb? Just don't let any "swarf" get into the pump.

Subject: [TR] Replace compression fittings on fuel pump

 

Has anyone engineered a way to avoid using a sleeve and tube nut at the fuel
pump inlet? I would prefer to install a one-piece fitting on the fuel pump
inlet and run a length of rubber line to the hard line on the frame, because
I keep moving the curved hardline when changing the oil filter and causing
the ferrule to leak. I realize I can make up a very short length of tube
with a nut and ferrule; wondering if there's an easier solution.

 

This is for my TR-4A, by the way.

 

Thanks,

 

Cliff

On hard left turns it feels like, just for an instant, the gas stops flowing, then its right back in the groove.  Doesn't happen on right hand turns

Any ideas?  Like maybe the baffle is missing from the gas tank?

Dave,

Stock fuel pump or electric? Maybe some sludge in the tank that moves?

This sounds weird to me.

Does it do this regardless of fuel level in the tank, or is it worse at 1/2 tank or less?

Most TR250s do this on LH turns with 1/2 tank or less. Has something to do with fuel surge in the unbaffled fuel tank. Is your tank original?

That is the classic Stromberg left turn cut-out.  I think it has to do with slosh in the carb float bowls.  I tried lots of things but never entirely got rid of it.  I never could figure out if it was starving or flooding.

 ???? So I have an AC Delco 10si alternator in my 1953 Morgan +4 
(similar engine block as a TR3) that I bought from Triumph Rescue. It 
only mounts at one point at the front of the engine and it shakes a lot. 
I have tried tightening the mounts and tightening and loosening the belt 
to see if that helps. It is also a pain to put in or remove from the 
cramped engine compartment of the Morgan. Previously I had had a DynoAlt 
(alternator in a Lucas generator case), but it kept burning out so I 
went with Triumph Rescue in a clinch. In the old days of about 10 years 
ago I used a Bosch alternator from a 1980 Ford Fiesta in my other 
Triumphs. Those are pretty much unicorns these days. I have been 
thinking of trying a REMY 13107 from RockAuto or my local auto parts 
store. It has mounting ears front and rear like a Lucas generator or the 
old Bosch alternators so it should be a better mount. Has anyone fitted 
one of these? Any issues? Does it fit the TR3 generator mount?

Hello all,

I just received my carbs (Stromberg?s) back from a rebuild. While I had them off, I took the time to clean and repaint the throttle linkage. Now I am getting ready to put it all back together and wanted to see if anyone had any insights to adjusting/making sure (the throttle linkage) are set up correctly as I am sure they are different from when I took them apart.?

Thanks in advance for any input.

reassemble as per the manual.? Check that you throttle plates close all 
the way with no pressure on the throttle pedal and then with the 
throttle pedal fully depressed make sure that the carbs open all the way.


Start the car and make your initial richness adjustments.? Loosen the 
center link of the carb and balance the carbs and set the desired idle 
speed.? Tighten the center throttle link.


Drive the car a bit and make final carb adjustments.? If the carbs are 
unbalance loosen the center link again and readjust the idle speed 
adjustment screws.? Tighten the center link after desire idle is set.

Remember that carburetor is a French word for ignition needs repairs.

I have an extra TR250 steering wheel that I would like to offer here before
e-baying it.  The spoke cover is in very good shape but needs a vinyl paint
spray, the leather cover on the wheel is toast.  If interested let me know,
will send pics.

Message-ID: <98A6937E-0353-4EC7-819B-796491BFD526@gmail.com>

I have a 140 mph speedometer from my 1975 TR6.  Speedometer shows 38,922 miles but I don?t have any history beyond that.  When I bought the car a couple years back, the speedometer didn?t work.  After some investigation, it appears there is a problem at the rear of the transmission (Toyota Supra 5 speed) preventing the speedometer cable from spinning.  Rather than troubleshoot the transmission, I installed a GPS speedometer, bypassing all the cables and problems.  On this speedometer, I have been able to spin the dial using a drill and the unit has the trip reset cable.

Selling for 110.00.  I can sent photos to anyone interested.  Just a note - the GPS speedometer was FAR more expensive than $110.00.

What is the best and cheapest way to ship them?

Box it up and weigh it, then check around the usual carriers.   From what I have shipped recently, there is no cheap method.

are they new?  If New you are stuck with shipping them in a box similar as used with CV axles, you are going to pay $70-$100 for the pair.

 

If they can be disassembled, they each will fit in a 12?x12? flat rate ?large box? but caveat you will need more internal reinforcement like 1/8? compressed board  and a LOT of stabilization packing because otherwise the boxes will not withstand a coast-t0-coast shipping.

Sujit,

 

I didn?t think you might be thinking prop drive shafts and not axle half  shafts?

 

If in the event you are thinking prop drive shaft, it is not worth shipping vs a driveshaft service & manufacturing shop.  

 

For a prop shaft all you need are the complete flange ends that are welded into the tube  ask the seller to Sawzall .  A good driveshaft shop will select a correct length of steel tube, weld on the ends, balance and rebuild the universal joints for less cost than shipping from Florida.

 

Half shaft axles, shipping those is different as I noted in my previous email.  So is it axles or prop drive shafts?

Hi Glenn,
It is the half shafts from a TR6. I found a local chap who can rebuild
them. I want them for my Stag, I have stake shafts. The part no. are shared
between the two Triumphs.
I actually only need part no. UKC643. This part can use replaceable UJ's.
The hubs don't fit in a flat rate box flat.

I have heard that Grayhound is pretty reasonable for odd shaped parts. Bad news is that the terminals are in dicey parts of town.
