Fuel Injected Triumph Stag Conversion Update

Posted on by

Progress is steady on the Stag Fuel Injection Conversion. All the sensors are in place. Some time Friday was spent dialing in the Throttle Position Sensor with the laptop and included software. Chip and Dean had to do some slight adjustment on the throttle butterflies to make sure they were synchronized. Start up should be real soon.

TR4A Rear Frame Repair

Posted on by

So, after speaking to the 4A owner, we have removed the rear end and driveshaft as the first steps in replacing the rear portion of the frame for this car.  It’s a good time to remind folks of the structural weakness that can lie beneath pretty paint and a great example of problems that come with age.   Work in progress below…

Here, you can’t see the rear end and the driveshaft.  They’ve been removed.  Once the new metal goes in, I’ll try to capture it in photos and share.

Triumph TR3 Fluid Change

Posted on by

Prepare for understatement:  This is a clean TR3.  The owner of this TR3 is a member of the Richmond Triumph Register and manages to drive this car regularly and keep it immaculate.  He brought it over for us to change the fluids, which Dean can do with his eyes closed because he wrenches on TR3’s blindfolded for fun (friends, that is hyperbole).

This is what a TR3 looks like if you are behind it and it runs over a chassis lift.

Lemans filler cap.  Dean informed me that years ago these were sealed  at the beginning of the Lemans race and cars had to go a certain distance prior to refueling.

If you’re a real rally car driver, you have these timers, so I’ve heard.  I’m not a real rally car driver.

Sometimes Sir Stirling Moss drops by to sign some cars for us.  With that, this TR3 is ready for more miles.
