      Part it out?

      By Hamish · Posted

      May be open the market place up in the sprint and hill climb area a they have sooo many classes - without knowing the car - it should fit in somewhere.   do you need the money out of it ? If that’s less of an issue let it go to a fellow racer  just be prepared for them to break it up ?

      Something like this may be worth a go.    usual caution advised re heat and flames around a petrol tank   https://youtu.be/cxIC5ARYcbk?si=XKMvRaiY1ibc3ufi

      Ah, bugger….. though IIRC GT6 tanks are available new at present. With all the crap we dealt with fixing mine I’d recommend new. However, you may be able to find a local artisan (radiator repairist typically) who can fix it?

      Part it out?

      By Nick Jones · Posted

      Hey Steve,  Great to hear from you!    Sorry to hear of your dilemma though - which is a tough one for sure! I’m a bit surprised that no one wants it.  It’s a car with a serious racing record, though maybe it’s needing effort and investment to get it race-ready? I guess maybe some actually might be intimidated by it’s record (Steve used to win lots in that, why don’t you). Have you been actively advertising it or just “put the word out”.  If the latter, it might be worth actively advertising it? Price-wise, if things are anything like they are here, these things are usually worth more in parts and not remotely as much as they cost build. I absolutely get that you really don’t want to break it up, but I would still hope you could get a decent price. Do you have a particular “old racer” in mind? Or a young one for that matter?

      Not quite a Triumph - 1955 Standard Eight

      Ok, might be possible to re-drill one of these? https://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/p/adjustable-push-rod-clevis-gmc-clv and use with a threaded push-rod?

      Not quite a Triumph - 1955 Standard Eight

      By JumpingFrog · Posted

      Yes, the issue is just that I need two of them. The 1/4" clevis pin is a real oddity, it seems like every other car with a Girling M/C was 5/16".

      Can you do a double Blx day?  Took the Garage queen to get more fuel as it was pumping air which I thought was from me playing around with the carbs and the fuel level was low.  So put 10litres in from a can and went to the petrol station.  Went for a stank around the lanes, got home check🙄ed the carbs and all good no leaks.  Came back half an hour later and the garage stank.  WTF, carbs all good, what wasnt was the couple of fuel litres in the boot! Found it as a well disguised PO repair with the crack in the tank bashed in then covered with filler to make it flush, the bastarde. So new tank needed which no one over here does and try and sort out all the fecked up paint in the rear, hmm, bugger.  span widget

      Part it out?

      By GT6Steve · Posted

      Friends, I’m in a quandary and seeking advice,   many of you know my red number four racer   im now retired and in no position to race again. So I’m pushed into a corner. No one wants an old racer so I’m pondering giving it to an old competitor because he alone will comprehend the trickery in it and could put it back on track   that said I know the carbonation alone could sell for as much as the entire program. Dry sump too has potential value.    BUT, the thought of breaking it up just wounds my heart    thoughts?
