The Triumph 2000/2500/2.5 Register Forum

Yes 2lb club hammer. Shifted a bit then stopped, possibly the wear point on the pin has caught as the hinge is stiff now, whereas it was flippy-floppy

Been playing welding today and Bradley has been making & using a Servo dismantling tool for his MkII 2.5.

Hi Alec, I will give the blowtorch a try. The car needs a respray, so not too concerned about the paintwork. I have had to use the grinder before in the case of broken pins. If you cut through the washers and pin, you can separate the pin into three pieces. The two on the car then drift out easily a...

What is peoples preferred method of removing stubborn door pins?

Hit with hammer
Heat with torch & hit with hammer
Drill out pin
Angle grinder through brasss washers to spilt into three, then hit with hammer

What areas do you want?

Does anyone have a MkI front valance repair or full panel for sale?

If anyone has one of Lloyds repair sections they don't need yet, I could order one to replace it.

Just that his lead time is 5 months at present, and I would like to get on with my Saloon.

Thought I should give an update. The spacers were incorrect.1.3" Auto, rather than the 1-9/16" J Type. I made a rookie error. I measured them in situ, but did not take into account the height of the insulating top-hat bush. Although the gearstick is still over (but maybe correct), at least the rubbe...

There are two engine spacers on the O/S, none on the N/S. This car has a 2500S engine in it with HS6's. I think that the engine cross-member should have the holes off-set, but doesn't as its an early one. The gearbox cross-member spacers are 1-1/2" long. I have a nagging suspicion they should be 1-7...

Thanks for that Tony. Did not realize they were handed. I did look at this in situ and could not see anything obvious. Well I've swapped the mount around and it seems a bit better, although this mount seems almost symmetrical. It is still not far enough over to the O/S to get the gaiter on to the su...

Working on a 2500 in a '71 car with a J'Type O/D. The gearbox is to close to the N/S edge of the gear-stick hole. So bad that the mechanism is touching the surround and the gaiter cannot be fitted. This is a pre-existing problem as some foam rubber had been stuffed in there to seal/quieten it. The f...

With a little bit of fabrication you can convert a standard engine crossmember to an anti-rollbar one. The mounting brackets are just three sides of a box with two captive nuts welded in. Re: The actual mounts, Chris Witor used to provide a two-piece aluminium machined version to replace the pressed...
