1. Another Front Suspension Question (score: 1)

Another front suspension question. I am in the process of replacing the ball joints, trunnions, etc. on my '57 TR3 and was wondering if I should have the rotor turned or machined since it is apart?

Unless you know of a specific problem you are trying to solve by turning the rotors, my advice is to let them be. They are easy enough to get off later, if need be. Brake pads should be inspected fo

Regarding the original question about the brake pads - these are almost entirely subject to visual inspection. If the allowed amount of pad material (I forget how much that should be on TR3 pads at t

IMO a new ignition rotor is just as likely to fail as an old one. In fact, on the road home from VTR, I attended a "roadside tech clinic" where the problem turned out to be a brand new, failed rotor.

Hi Ken This is not a job that should be done for the hell of it, thinner discs will heat up quicker leading to earlier brake fade, if the discs need skimming then replace the pads, if the pads are wo

Ok, I'll weigh in with what I learned going through the same question on turning rotors. First, it was pretty much a consensus that the rotors on a TR3 are pretty meaty and can take a turning or 2 wi

I've never looked on a Triumph rotor but I'm going to look. On most rotors (at least on U.S. cars) there is a minimum thickness cast somewhere. The only time I've had a problem in turning a rotor (or

Please let us know if you find anything cast in. Many others have looked and not found anything. However, one of the 1958 service bulletins that Michael Porter, Dan Buettner and others have conspire

Hi Michael My old rotors (discs) I just removed from my 1974 Dolomite did have something cast into them when new, but a quick scuff with a wire brush to clean it up so I could read it actually cleane
