Ted ( et al )
Now this is starting to look a bit better ( for me anyway ) . LUK clutch
kits are available in South Africa :-) Whether or not TR 3 ones are also
available is something I'm going to find out . Have to convince the parts
guys ( down here ) first that Triumph actually made cars and not only
motorcycles and ladies underwear :-) Strange how many guys know exactly what
a Triumph bra etc. looks like ( some can even describe what it feels like )
, but they have absolutely no idea about Triumph cars ! Wonder why :-)
Now FWIW I've never before fitted a new clutch to a TR 3 , but I'll be doing
all the work by myself as soon as I've figured out what's wrong with my
clutch and what is needed to rectify it .
Basically all that I know is that TS 10795 ( '56 TR3 ) is equipped with a
'58 TR3A engine ( TS 30837 E ) , an all syncro TR4 gearbox ( CT 26228 ) and
that the clutch is currently non-functional .
Any advice or part numbers on LUK clutch kits for TR3's would be highly
appreciated .
Kind regards

Subject: Re: Borg & Beck-Education to the List
joe and group, there has always been a problem with using
remanufactured clutches. when we ran our service business, sometines
customers would insist on the rebuilt clutch. after they paid to have
it removed because it would drag or something, the cost was nver a
factor. borg and beck are good units. just don't use rebuilt. you
also ahve to watch what comes out of package. since many of the
european clutch mg\fg's merged into Luk, you could get a qh disc with
a laycock plate.
