Nice job getting the Triumph running again 👍 I think it was meant for you to bring the car back the day you did, looking at the date you bought the car back was also Flora's Dad's birthday, what a gift 😀
It is interesting to get old cars up and running again. As you know about my dads old 1968 Bus. So far it's running pretty good. I still keep tweaking the carbs (it has Zenith 40 TIN carbs on it). I'm amazed how everything but the horn works on it. Even the washer system (which you have to pressurize the tank for it to work). I also got my dads old toolbox. One of the funny things is that he has a set of Snap On British Standard wrenches and sockets. They must be from the 60's but look brand new (they were never used).
@@FunWithCars716 - That would be the ones. I figure that they are like anything British, just slightly different. At least here in the US, George Washington had a dream when it came to weights and measures. Best thing it, it came true. If you really want a challenge, go work on an old English formula car (i.e. Formula Ford, Continental or Atlantic). They are a hodge podge of metric, SAE and British. There's a reason why Pegasus Racing Supply became known as the place to get that oddball stuff. Case in point, an old Ralt RT-41 had a VW differential but a Hewland gearbox. So to mate the two together, some brilliant Englishman decided to make a stud that's M8 to go into the VW case and then step it ever so slightly to a 5/16" BW to work in the Hewland. Good times....
