The Triumph 2000/2500/2.5 Register Forum

And to actually answer your question Nige(!!), yes it's simply a case of loosening the shackle bolts and removing / adding the shim(s). You only need to slacken the nylocs and knock the bolts through slightly to allow enough room to access / add the shims. You may have to use a stout flat screwdrive...

I would think that taking one shim from the outer leg of the nearside swinging arm and adding it to the outer leg of the offside swinging arm will effectly alter both from pointing to the nearside (kerb). But the thickness / number of the shims that you need to remove or add will be trial and error,...

The Lancashire Group of the Register have a stand at the 'Classic And Performance Car Spectacular' car show at Tatton Park, Knutsford, Cheshire on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd June 2024. It's located just off J19 M6. It's one of the biggest classic car shows in the North West, with a large autojumble...

I can't really give you any useful info on using the TR6 bits on your 2000 engine. I think someone such as Chris Witor would be one of the best people to ask, as he has played with performance enhancing modifications to the 2000 / 2500 range for many years.

Even though the face-lift ML engines with HS4's were never a ball of fire, they weren't as bad as you are portraying. The J type overdrive gearbox will make no difference to its performance Peter; in fact engaging overdrive in third and / or fourth will lower the engine revs and therefore will not a...

Assuming it is on HS4's, they were only fitted for a short period of time to the facelift 2000, before changing to HS6's. The 2000 engine on HS4's was considered to be a bit lacking in performance. Are you certain that all the engine settings, including the carburettors are correctly set? There was ...

There's no real comparison in my opinion between the Mk1 2000 especially with the very late MC engines, and the late Mk2 2000's. In all the 2000 models, the late Mk1's and the very early Mk2s were the best performers (in my opinion, for what it's worth!) Has your Mk2 2000 got HS4 carbs, or is it one...

Was the performance better before the recent cylinder head work, the same, or worse?

You haven't said what age of Mk2 2000 you have other than a late (r) model. From late 72 / 73 changes to the engine in 2000 models meant a reduction in performance. They were fitted with dome top pistons and the Stromberg carburettors were changed to (I think) to CDS3 types for emission purposes (on...

Apologies - the text highlighted with the two red dots in the first picture above is not very clear.
It states - "Rotate pinion until rack is centralised i.e. the dimple on the rack shaft lies in the middle of the thrust plunger aperture".
