Wheel bearing part duex

Happy Saturday,

It's been a rainy day here but did get a little done on the Stagnator today.  I usually don't work on them on the weekends but I wanted to wrap this task up today.  Next week I'll start on the carbs but I am approaching that with a little trepidation, it looks like the throttle linkage is held in place with tape so I'm wondering what I'll find, impossible to locate parts?  Who knows...  A big thanks to Rick M. who has done a little research for Bill regarding parts suppliers, Stags are a fairly rare car and don't enjoy the aftermarket support that some of the other LBC's have.



I think it's fascinating the way that Triumph has set up the cars for either steel or wire wheels by the simple addition of a bolt on hub.


Just thought I'd share the brand and name of the grease I used NAYYY.

 Nothing else to share today, see you all on Monday.

Cheers,

Lynn

Carburetors

Not a lot of text tonight and Bill knows the reason, we had a nice dinner with a few folks and are mourning the eminent departure of our friend Jim H. I may have found an 'O' ring that will work for the intake manifold-I hope as the original is way past it's use by date as are all the 'O' rings and gaskets on these carburetors. Disassembled carb, sure hope I can remember how it goes together That's all, I have a puppy demanding my attention now, he's been ignored all day-poor guy! Cheers, Lynn 3 hrs

The Good, the bad, and the ugly

Image
Well, the god was that the carburetors are installed and the car started and ran well. The bad?  Take a look at this picture of the rear wheel. The ugly? installing the tires is a son of a gun, took me a couple of hours to get the tire and tube on only to have the tube blow out when I inflated it.  I was careful to use talc and avoid pinching the tube but something happened as I don't think it should have blown at 36-38 psi?  I guess it's better to have it blow now than when it's on the road to Colorado.  That being said I think we'd (Bill) better find a competent shop to install these tires/tubes. Three broken spokes in a row Looked pretty good after cleaning them up. Well, that's all folks!   Wish someone could have caught a picture of my expression when the GD tube blew.   Cheers, Lynn

The Stagnator goes home

Image
This will likely be the last time I post on this blog site as it has become problematic for me at least. Won't let me post picture or if I post pictures it won't allow me to describe them. Don't know what happened but.... At any rate the Stag is gone and Bill seems happy with all that was done to it. I took the car out for a test drive and I enjoyed it, the steering is a little loose and the column probably needs new bushings but the car was solid and the little V8 sounds fantastic. If Bill can get the parts before we leave for Colorado I will fix the speedometer drive leak but other than that I think it will make the trip-I hope!
