Bob,
This should be credited to Malcom Walker's FAQ page
(http://www3.bc.sympatico.ca/walker/triumph/trfaq.htm). I simply have a
link to there. There is a link to a British-American/American-British
dictionary.
In the front of the Haynes Manual there is a "Use of English" page.
"trunnion" is not listed in either. Sorry. I'm not sure this requires a
translation though??? <laugh> I don't what the "trunnion" is, but it's
possible it's the same in either flavour/flavor of English.
(I looked up trunnion in my Vic Brit catalog: Page 124 - it's the pivot
hardware on the A-arm at the base of the front shock. *shrug* ;)
Either way, the two sources should be of help to you.
