Feed me!

Not sure what's happened to the Blog feed into Club Triumph as it's misbehaving - the Blo updates appear but you can't read tehm from within the CT site. I've been through my settings and all looks fine. I'll have to sort it out with Keith when I'm back home.

I'm stuck in Norwich all week then off up to Manchester Friday, hope to drop in at Canley's on the way home for a beer with Dave and one last chat about Lucas PI before next week.

The plan is that I'll take the car up at the crack of dawn to get to Dave before the traffic builds up - might be a 5 am start for me. Anyway, once up there I'll srtip ff the SUs and start assembling the PI kit onto the car - I've allowed a couple of days to get it on and sorted. I need to gather up the rest of my PI kit in the garage on the weekend, over the years I've accumulated loads of stuff but it never really got put in one place!
anyway, I will take my camera and take plenty of photos, watch the blog for a progress and watch the roads for the monster.

I am looking forward to this, work's been manic and I could do with a bit of spannering to cleanse my mind of my current work project, which is still automotive based but with an unhealthy does of IT!

Well I popped the hood on the Blog, twiddled with a few settings and fired it up again. Waddaya know, it worked, we're back on the CT site. I have also put an "aton" link on the sidebar, this apparently allows syndication of the blog - apparently that's a good thing :-)

Blogtastic! Right, now back to the day job and crafting a presentation of 6 months work to be covered in 3 slides and 10 minutes.

More Lucas PI info - some pearls of wisdom here :-)

Over the years I've collected loads of info and books about the PI system, some better than others. I have always meant to scan and post up some of the more interesting stuff. I had my scanner working recently (but not on my spanking new Vista equipped PC - incompatible!) so I thought I'd scan a few things when I came across an old trio of A4 sheets held together with a rusty staple. They appear to be pages from a magazine article but from where I don't know. The last page has a few small adds on it but no clue as to where it first appeared. The opening paragraph suggests and owners club and the adverts are 1990 vintage - if you know where this came from please let me know and I'll give them the credit. Anyway, I scanned it and OCR'd it and here it is. I've been through it to correct the OCR errors but if anything doesn't make sense shout up and I'll check the original.

Worried about your trunnions? Relief is to hand!

Image
This is an bit of an infomercial for my mate Dave and his company Canley Classics. I know Dave well, I get most of my Triumph stuff from him. I sometimes work on the Canley Classics stand at shows, I own a Canley Classics T shirt and I have spent many hours driving Triumphs with him. Other Triumph parts suppliers are available, your mileage may vary and this may contain nuts. If you don't like what I say, ignore it :-) - It's a well know fact that the small chassis Triumphs have some design frailties. One of the more spectacular failures you can suffer stems from the front trunnions. When you get a failure here you can loose a front wheel - this isn't a good thing. Often incorrectly known as "trunnion failure" what actually happens is that the vertical link that sits in the trunnion snaps - it does this for a number of reasons, lack of maintenance, fatigue, corrosion, previous trauma, bad luck. Most often it's the nearside that goes, it's the side that ...

TR6 Clutch investigation (and interior replacement)

Image
Blimey, it's been a long time since I did anything serious in the garage. Having found myself with some time on my hands - I'm currently looking for paid work again - I decided it was high time I sorted out the TR6 interior. When I got the car it was the interior that let it down, a bit of a mix of old and repro trim, mostly past it's best, carpets stick directly to the floor and sagging seats. I did the seats immediately and then gathered the parts to do the rest - new carpets, underlay, a trim kit, H frame cover, clips and fastenings, glue, etc, etc. So it seemed like a "cheap" job as I had all of the big cost items. It was just time - and now I have that. So I stripped it all out and there it sat earlier this week, looking all empty and then I thought what a pig of a job it would be to have to take it all out again to fix the clutch! You see I've always had a tricky clutch in the car, not awful but occasionally when warm it gets quite "off/on...
