Sure, it's been done. I can't remember the name of the guy who had twin small SuperTrapps on his 6 at the National in ... Seattle? Someone will help me out. You could use the "concealed" model and tu

Well, sure. It certainly saved me when I was driving Diner across the US without any other brakes. (OK, halfway across the US.)

A well-timed grab of the brake to lock up the rears is a time-tested technique, still used today at the highest levels of rallye competition. Those fancy WRC cars with all wheel drive have their brak

They're never cheap. You might be able to find a used one relatively cheap if you keep looking. Installation is the hard part of the problem - please use steel backing plates that are as thick as th

You don't say what car you have. The trick with air horns is that they are very power hungry - even if you have a relay in the horn circuit already, you probably need to add a new circuit to drive th

The various driveshaft bolts were listed by Triumph as special numbers, not standard hardware (p/n 132023 for driveshaft, 144961 for propshaft). There is no dimensional difference between these bolts

Wear at the clevis is a serious problem - both the holes in the clevis and the pin itself wear badly. Even when the parts are completely new, the range of motion is less than one would like. I have o

Yes, I know. That was my point - you can get separate, adjustable parts that fit the masters. From TriumphTune aka Moss Europe, if not elsewhere. It's entirely possible that the parts from the slave

It took some digging, but I found it. In 1995 I ordered 4ea 057194K from Moss Europe/TriumphTune. 057194 is the adjustable fork used on the clutch slave of TR2 through 4A - the "K" designates that th

Yeah, it's pretty easy to remove the driveshaft from below. But you can also (I seem to recall) get at those front bolts from above, if your tranny tunnel has the original large hole meant to provide

Rivets were original. And if I were you, I would use either aluminum or stainless, and make sure you get the center piece out, or you'll have rust problems. Check out the new British Cars Forum: http
