Re: Mk1 Choke knob / warning light switch (on cable) wanted
lol. I might take that! At least it will be a Mk1 knob and I can get rid of the plain Mk2 knob I currently have!

Re: mk1 steel wheel
Wheels fitted (thank you Charles). I had to file down the lead weights on the back of the rims to stop them fouling the track rod ends on both front wheels. I guessed altering the weights wouldn't make any difference at the sort of speeds I get up to! I was surprised there isn't more clearance betwe...

Re: Petrol leaking from filler cap
I prised off the aftermarket cap but the replacement from CW doesn't fit unfortunately - way too big and only 2 prong - my filler neck is smaller at 1.5" across and 3 prong. Guess someone has replaced the tank at some stage. Now on the hunt for a 1.5" 3 prong cap! I've put the old filler cap back on...

Triumph 2000 on new single cover
Well, how to start ... Email received from Milestone Classics to say a musician had been in contact wanting to use a photo of the Triumph they had recently sold to me on the cover of his new single. Contact was passed on and email correspondence ensued. I provided a few photos of the car and hey pre...

Re: Mk1 Choke knob / warning light switch (on cable) wanted
Thanks Charles - Would be a pleasure to pop to Folkestone again and see your Triumph emporium! I might even have those Mk1 wheels fitted soon - cleaned and painted today. New tyres to go on during the week and should be on the car next weekend. I've also fitted a (facelift) Mk1 steering wheel so she...

Re: Petrol leaking from filler cap
Thanks All Petrol Cap ordered from CW (although it says not for early Mk1's on the web site and mines a pre face lift Mk1 so fingers crossed it fits!) I'll try to remove the aftermarket filler neck and revert to the original. I tried giving it a good tug but it wasn't shifting so I'll have to see ho...

Petrol leaking from filler cap
Could be a simple one this ... out on a run today and noticed on return that fuel had been leaking from the cap. Tank is half full. An aftermarket filler/cap has been fitted by previous owner as per photo with a less than perfect seal - should the cap be vented or am I just not tightening the cap en...

Mk1 Choke knob / warning light switch (on cable) wanted
Hi All. My early Mk1 has a Mk2 choke cable fitted including the knob at the dashboard and I've lost the choke warning light function. I have bought a MK1 choke cable off ebay but I'm after a Mk1 choke cable knob and the warning switch that fits to the cable. An online search is drawing a blank. If a...
