The Triumph 2000/2500/2.5 Register Forum

Hi Stephen, I'm glad we got your registration sorted. Good luck with the search for a car - after you've sorted some other cars first. It can be never ending! I guess my real love is the 2000 range. I bought my 1st one in 1974 and always have had one since but sadly at the moment, not one on the roa...

There should be a grommet through the bulkhead for the steering column. Chris Witor has them - 153240P. They go hard, break up and fall out!

Hi Nige, With 'plain' discs the engine seem more responsive, especially on the 'overrun'. I don't remember if I did them on or off the carbs (it was a long time ago!), I'm not sure how much access there is when on the carbs. It is important to get a good fillet of solder all the way round or they mi...

Hi Simon,

Glad to see that you are getting some bits together. I can share some of my sill repair photos if you'd like. It should give you an idea how it all fits together.

Cheers,
Mike.

I soldered up the poppet valves on the last 'S' I had. As long as you get a good fillet of solder right the way round each valve there should be no leakage! Everything being brass meant it was an easy solder to do.

Cheers, Mike.

Hi Simon,

Glad we got you sorted OK and good luck with the PI!

As it had been a few months since the spam flooding of new user registrations, I re-enabled them last week and have promptly had over 25 'rogue' new registration attempts! I have deleted these rogues ones (and authorised a genuine one!) and have now, again, disabled new user registrations. If you ar...

Checking the Mk1 ring-binder manual agrees with the figure of 1.5 - 2.5PSI pressure but it also states a delivery of 1.5pints/minute (minimum). Although I'm not sure how you'd measure that without a proper flow meter. However, most analogue meters have an accuracy of 5-10% of full scale, so your 5PS...

I've tried to restore my 1949 Land Rover to as near-original as is financially viable, so it's virtually all back to BSF and BSW fittings - with a smattering of BA sizes too, even odd BA sizes! Good luck with the continental trip. I am actually in Normandy as I type this and I hope all goes well for...

If you can, check what the parts book say for that bolt and then check what the suppliers say what it is. Triumph has a method of specifying a bolt/setscrew which would tell you the size, thread type and length. The problem is to find out the details of that method! I too have a S1 Land Rover (1949 ...
