The 1st of May and a busy, but enjoyable day at the workshop…
Really good to meet Adrian there first thing for a few more things on ‘Pearl’ his 85th Anniversary TF. Adrian had been on Steve Gibson’s North Yorkshire run over the weekend so stayed over an extra night to come to us, which made the most of his trek north before heading back to Leigh-on-Sea this afternoon.
Adrian had tried an LE 500 and liked the feel of the gear change. So we sourced the gear selector and cables for him and fitted them today. Along with fitting new fog light bulbs, adjusting drivers side window to stop it leaking (hopefully!) and adjusted the steering wheel.
Great to see Peter who came over, from Leeds, with his TF 135 for a few things. Initially booked in for a CAT replacement, this wasn’t required as happily the car went through the MOT ok. The gasket was slightly blowing when we checked it so this was sealed up.
The clutch pedal was quite heavy, although he thought it was fine for ages until trying someone else’s, I think a few of us have experienced this over the years! Clutch arm duly freed off and clevis pins replaced on the slave cylinder and the master cylinder.
He’d also bought a replacement quick-release steering wheel to be fitted. But, after a bit of time between him and Jon looking into the fitments for it, it was found that the steering boss wasn’t compatible so couldn’t be fitted. We shall investigate further on this one.
Much better weather than what was initially forecast, so both Adrian and Peter enjoyed top-down runs back home. ☀️ – https://ift.tt/BlUr4FJ
