The Triumph 2000/2500/2.5 Register Forum

The prop is off the car- has been for 10 years. I think I will take the advice of '' see how it goes' when back on the road.

Ok.Thanks for the replies. I have since purchased a new grease gun and flexi hose to suit ( up to now been using father in laws unit) which has seen some action.So if have a feel of each end so to speak, and post up, may that help me....?

Mmmmm. Thanks for the replies guys. I do prefer to do things myself where possible - at least then you know HOW it has been done. I entrusted a good friend of mine to replace the nose end spider a while ago as I had to dissemble my bench with vice in order to site the car in the garage for the work ...

I ought to add at this stage the car in question is the Dolly Sprint, which of course has an...

Yes I will be removing all the front mechanicals anyway so I will hopefully have an idea exactly what has occurred. I had already fitted braided Goodrich ones at the front when I fitted the calipers.

Mmmm ok. as much as it pains me to re - do stuff I will look at that. I have not long ago come across a 'note to self ' , stating to check 'seized nearside front wheel'. That must be the NSF new caliper that has seized.Rebuilds I assume are fine,but not over a long period. End up forever chasing tai...
