The Triumph 2000/2500/2.5 Register Forum

I may have mentioned it previously in a topic somewhere, but I would also be looking at the flexible hose on the affected wheel. With age, the hoses can collapse internally, and when you depress the brake pedal, the normal brake effort required is sufficient to force brake fluid through the brake ho...

Just noticied too - it's got the earlier fuel, amp and temp gauges - the needle on facelift cars should swing from the bottom!
Plus the choke knob is wrong...
I think you are wise to give it a miss!

Hi John, I dont know the car, but on first impressions, the following jump out to me.... - some gremlins under the vinyl panel on the nearside C pillar - no sill trims (an indication of previous sill work?) - no chrome trim on the windscreen rubber - on the nearside especially, there looks to be a l...

If the rest of the outrigger is solid, then welding a patch or letting a shaped piece of metal in would suffice in my opinion. However, the remainder needs to be very solid if you intend to fill the cavity with 'waxoyl' (not my personal preference, but that's another topic!) - any future welding in ...

I can't see it being the diff - assuming we are talking about your 2500S, the ratio should be 3.45:1 (both auto and manual) - if it had been inadvertantly swapped for a 3.7 or 4.1, then I think you would have noticied. It would be revving excessively especially with a 4.1 To put that out of the equa...

Excellent work. Looking good. When I was much younger, I had a succession of the original Minis, which tended to rust on the seams between the front wing and front panel. I did numerous repairs on them in that area over the years of ownership, which involved a thin skimming of body filler. I then us...

I have used Dum Dum previously for that purpose. It's none hardening and seals the top of the mounting against water ingress. It's been around for donkeys years, and available in tins. Roll out 3 sausage shapes to go round the top of the mount and fit! It's black in colour - doubt anyone will be loo...

I now only have one spare pass left for this great show which is next weekend (7/8th)! So if you are interested for either day, I need to know sharpish in order to get it posted out.....no car pass, no entry.....

Unusual, in my experience! However, making something suitable that will stay in place, but also move to depress the pin might be challenging?
As your carpets are up, I would have thought it would be easier to fit a replacement handbrake lever.
If it's of any use, I will have a good used one.

Looks like you've been busy! Don't forget to create the artificial seam at the back of the sill where it meets the front edge of the rear wing! All too often this seam is lost during repairs and it just doesn't look right without it and is an obvious indication that repairs have been carried out! We...
