Mikey, like you, I use a simple system of unique addresses for various things, including club forums. From time to time, one of these places get hacked and I get a torrent of spam purporting to be from the hacking victim - which it obviously ain't. I'm convinced that my bike club's web host was ...

Used in 2000, 2500, Stag, Spitfire, GT6, TR6 and Dolomite.

Does anyone know if any of these - or the MG ones - have longer stems? My Spit headrest always seems too low for me.

"The car may prove of strong interest as a donor vehicle ..."

To be honest I am very disappointed that the vendors, a reputable Triumph dealership, should by implication be suggesting any of these things. Lets us hope that someone buys the car who respects it for what it is.[/i]

... The external feed also has a metering hole in it so it won't 'hog' all the oil flow ...
Mike, I understood that earlier ones had no restriction and, while eking out the life of the rockers, if they or the shaft were well-worn, they would as you say "hog" the oil, accelerating wear of the ...

TLD cites Kas Kastner and claims low ...

Tony Lindsey-Dean wrote about this in the TSSC comic sometime back in the noughties. I've searched for the article but have been unable to find it. I seem to recall he said there was some obstruction in the gallery which starved the front of the crank and advocated an oil feed as you've described ...

... an alkaline cell, which will run fast at first then get gradually slower and slower and slower (what time is it, Eccles?)
Eccles: I've got it written down on this piece of paper ...

You remember, the time was correct twice a day. I was thinking that, as the alkaline cell ran down, it would ...

Yes, mercury cells have a very flat discharge voltage during their working life, so the "crude" timepiece of the day could still give reasonable accuracy. Unfortunately, mercury's pretty much banned now by legislators (they must be mad as Hatters!) so your choice is either an alkaline cell, which ...
