The Triumph 2000/2500/2.5 Register Forum

I am going off the air for a couple of weeks to get the human 4 cylider machine working again properly.

So I must ask my garage to do the following. Start at the top and loosen the studs then the 3/8th bolts then the rest. Then go to the starer motor bolts and slave cylinder bolts 3/8 "th and tighten them first then the studs at the top then the rest. I would not think that chris would sell Poly mount...

Just letting the thoughts go wild. At the top of the cover there are some studs and the are I think 2 dowels. If what the are saying about the Dowllingbolts is correct, should the studs be tightened first, should the dowellingbolts be tightened first? Why did the spitfire have problems with he engin...

I have just ha a talk to my parts supplier (English been selling parts for 50 years. has a lovely TR3B). He thinks that the engine mounts could still be the problem. The old ones were weak but complete and I chose to go for Chris Wittor Polys. In view of my friend's comment has anybody got anything ...

I have just been down to the celler and I have found the following from about 1990 Magazine Quote Dowelling bolts. :-Not fitting the 2 3/8" inch dowelling bolts to the gearbox and back plate is one of the most common bodges I have seen. These 2 bolts are a tighter fit than the others therefore align...

I would have love to have read that article. Where did you find it? I thought I had read all of the Buckeyes things.

Is there anyway to see these allignment nuts and bolts without dropping the gearbox. I seem to remember using a egg carton to store these bell housing nuts and bolts. Perhaps that is why I did it. Are these, the 2 x 2 bolts part numbes as shown in the parts list WL009 and 132872 ? I wonder if anybod...

The clutch plate from Enterprise is the one they have been using for the last 40 years. As Tom said we have never had a problem so we have just stuck with this plate.
Chris Witor provided the Poly engine and G/B mounts.

Bell housing I did not see it but the chap under the car was expecting the problem to be at the back end of the car. When he found nothing he moved forwards and said christ the bell housing is moving. I saw it up on the jack and the bell housing was moving. I cannot remeber if I noted the engine mov...

The took the car out for a test drive and then had somebody under the car when changing into 1st and reve...
