With
spring now upon us many people are starting to get their Triumphs out
of hibernation and on the road for this year’s activities. We have
just completed an engine rebuild on a Mk1 2000 with upgrades to fast
road spec to the owners requirements and two unleaded cylinder head
conversions, one for a Spitfire 1500 and one for a Vitesse Mk2. We
have also had a few gearbox rebuilds this winter with extra work on
one running to an overdrive rebuild and clutch replacement,
crankshaft seal renewal and clutch crosshaft modifications on two
others.
Those
few jobs along with a few suspension rebuilds, a couple of brake
overhauls and the usual running repairs, tuning and servicing work
for those who continue to use their Triumphs over the winter period
have kept us busy during the winter months. Now we seem to be
encountering a glut of water sealing problems, either trying to stop
coolant leaking out or rain water leaking in! I can only hope that as
the year progresses and the weather improves, we don’t get too much
of the latter and that we get to see the sun a bit more this year. Oh
yes and did I mention that we had recently fitted new hoods to a TR5
and a Herald?
We
are preparing ourselves for the rush of annual servicing, tuning and
MoTing which inevitably starts during March (it already has) and will
probably reach torrent proportions next month, though hopefully not
full ‘flash flood’ status. More next time.
