181. RE: Alt Conversion Excite Resistor Problems (score: 1): Author: "Randall" <tr3driver@comcast.net>; Date: Thu, 7 Oct 2004 20:58:35 -0700; The directions on how to do this, and the diode, are both packaged with the MSD. As I said, it's a known problem. Randall Check out the new British Cars Forum: http://www.team.net/the-local/tiki-vie; /html/triumphs/2004-10/msg00785.html (9,162 bytes)

RE: Glass Fuel filter (score: 1): Author: "Randall" <tr3driver@comcast.net>; Date: Fri, 8 Oct 2004 09:34:40 -0700; Similar filters are still sold new, they just aren't commonly used on new cars because they're more expensive than the paper element throw-away ones.

BTW, Herman has changed suppliers several times on these, the latest one is rebuildable. You might want to check with him. Jeez,; /html/triumphs/2004-10/msg00792.html (7,307 bytes)

RE: TR3 steel wheels (score: 1): Author: "Randall" <tr3driver@comcast.net>; Date: Fri, 8 Oct 2004 10:10:47 -0700; This is only a listing (very likely with many mistakes) of cars with the same 4 bolt pattern and therefore MIGHT fit a TR. In fact, all the ones I marked with (FWD) most likely will not fit, as whee; /html/triumphs/2004-10/msg00794.html (8,785 bytes)

RE: hardware (score: 1): Author: "Randall" <tr3driver@comcast.net>; Date: Fri, 8 Oct 2004 10:22:56 -0700; That's true ... but I'm not sure Nylocs count as "fiber locking" since the insert is nylon plastic, not fiber. They're also not aviation grade, nor in an aviation application. Triumph said not to re; /html/triumphs/2004-10/msg00795.html (7,957 bytes)

O-ringing a TRactor motor (score: 1): Author: "Randall" <tr3driver@comcast.net>; Date: Fri, 8 Oct 2004 14:30:50 -0700; Enough people have asked me about this off-list that perhaps I should share it with everyone. First, let me point out that I did this as a solution to a specific problem. I do NOT recommend it be don; /html/triumphs/2004-10/msg00808.html (9,823 bytes)

I'd never even heard of such alternators (never owned a car newer than the 95 I bought this year). If that's the case, then the resistor doesn't belong either.

192. RE: Identifying TR3-4 trannies (score: 1): Author: "Randall" <tr3driver@comcast.net>; Date: Sat, 9 Oct 2004 15:11:30 -0700; Yes. The S/N on the OD is for the OD, has nothing to do with the S/N on the gearbox. According to the magic decoder ring in the Moss catalog, model 61753 is from a TR4A IRS.

The shaft speed is too low and the torque too great for reliable OD operation in 1st gear (although some racers have modified to eliminate this restriction). The biggest concern is rev; /html/triumphs/2004-10/msg00826.html (9,616 bytes)
194. RE: Identifying TR3-4 trannies (score: 1): Author: "Randall" <tr3driver@comcast.net>; Date: Sun, 10 Oct 2004 10:41:38 -0700; You're quite welcome. More likely 3rd & 4th, since it only takes one switch to do that, and that was a configuration found both very early and much later in TR production.

After trying both ways, I've decided it's slightly easier (for me) to leave the stator in place and just pull the wire; /html/triumphs/2004-10/msg00837.html (7,728 bytes)
