The Triumph 2000/2500/2.5 Register Forum

One point I didn't mention - the visable filler neck under the petrol flap is actually part of the body of the car, and a change of tank wouldn't affect it. There is a flexible hose inside the boot that joins the neck of the filler to the tank body. Just checked the parts book - the very early tank ...

This is what the filler neck should look like with the two cut outs for the twist AC style non locking cap which I have in all my cars. 20210306_153404.jpg I'll check when I can, but I believe earlier cars had a different flared end on the filler neck for the cap. This is the the front and back of t...

Regarding door mirrors, Tex were the original manufacturer of them, but I have found the original ones from the 70's are far superior to the 'new' ones manufactured today, especially where the mirror head swivels on the base. The current ones seem to work slack very quickly and 'at speed' :lol:, the...

If you haven't already got one, the forked clamp looks something like this....

Hi Sal, yes that is the speedo cable attachment point. The inner cable locates in the square drive of the drive gear visible in the centre of the hole. The outer cable has a stepped flanged collar held in place by a forked clamp secured by the visible bolt adjacent to the hole. This the type of cabl...
