Took the time today to cut the old exhaust system off my car (lying under
the car using a hacksaw) wondering why I let my erstwhile muffler buddy put
the muffler on last time. The goofy guy welded it on. I bought a stainless
steel system 2 years ago ( on sale) and will install it soon. Now I
know why I've always tried to do my own work- so I know what the result is
going to be- it's done like I want it to be.
Now, I realize that most of todays systems are welded together, but give me
a break, this isn't your Father's '87 Olds 88.
Also, I took out the clutch fork pin, and whereas I had renewed it in 1981,
today it is scarred and chewed up. No wonder these things break. Of course,
my new fork and cross-shaft has had a roll-pin inserted. Let's see if if
the fork can budge on the shaft now!
Am currently downloading the Triumph hardware catalog and, man, is it
taking forever. Guess everybody is jumping on it at the same time.
