Thanks Woody, there is some good info in that link.

Also when looking at it don't forget to get side tracked into Sumners website.

Great stuff.

Some years ago  :cry:, when I was trying to determine if I needed to run an idler socket or not I got some good info from various people and if you look down the following page you can find what they had to say...

The metals and designs of those old British trannies probably won't withstand the power needed to go 200 mph and especially the impact loads of long drive chain oscillations.  They were sort of marginal when new.  Really, everything downstream of the engine sprocket can be modern like harley based stuff from Baker Drivetrain, S and S, or Andrews.  Harleys beat carp out of their drive trains so anything that works on them will be spiffy on a Triumph.

wobblywalrus a Harley transmission would be nice and it is way stronger, but I believe the p/u gearbox will do the job.

Making progress!

I don't know what those porcupine thingies are: some kind of rivnut or attachment hardware?  Could someone educate me?

TIA

Those are miniature nitrous bottles, arrayed in a way that'll provide maximum spray toward the driver compartment for best cooling effect on hot race days.

Frank06:

Clecos are temporary fasteners that are used to clamp sheet metal together and keep the holes aligned-- super useful little things. No one can call himself a fabricator if he doesn't have a few Clecos and a bag of pop rivets.  :-D

I haven't really had any need for anything like this yet but they may be useful on my current project.  I can think of a few times in the past where I would have liked to have some on hand though.   :cheers:

What alloy and thickness are you using for your body panels?
