On mine they are together directly behind the U shaped bracket behind the spring Sounds right to me. You are on your own with making replacements unless somebody has some spares sitting at the back of their garage. Ask your US contact. NB It is very easy to accidentally knock the shift levers out o...

Martin,

Well, after 746 posts and the law of averages, I suppose it was bound to happen sooner or later! :D :D

Martin, You are correct. The OEM fulcrum pin securing bolts are marked AUTO and T. Two other points come to mind. 1.) Never, ever use stainless steel bolts in high stress situations such as suspension because they will fail prematurely, even though they look nice and shiny. 2.) The quickest and simp...

Maybe I have got my Ss and Ts mixed up there.

Has anybody got a definitive grade for the original UK bolts?

A very good point.

Edited:
The originals were NOT high tensile Grade S with 3 markings on the heads.

The OEM bolts are marked AUTO and T.

See posts below.

As you sit in the driver's seat and look at the dashboard, the green & blue wire is on the LHS of the WTG and the light green wire is on the RHS of the WTG.
Naturally, when you are lying on your back and gazing up at the WTG, these wires will be reversed left and right, if you get my meaning.

Rob, you were very lucky there! Had you ignored that clonk for much longer, I hate to think of the consequences for both you and the Tiger. It's a good idea to periodically check the torque on the various front suspension bolts/nuts. The correct torque values are: Upper fulcrum pin retaining bolts: ...

Tigerfan, Personally, for safety reasons, I would fit a wider wheel with the correct offset on the OEM studs. Using this original method, the wheel will be correctly centred and supported on the hub boss. Using a spacer negates this and the wheel depends totally on the studs for support. Others may ...

I'm going to need a set later rather than sooner. Brad, it is just as well that you have time on your side. Anybody contemplating buying genuine Minilites, via the Club (Sunbeam Spares Company) from Tech-Del should get their order in asap and then prepare to wait several weeks! Whilst the 6 inch wh...

I suspect that you may be one of a very small select group who wants one. Before going any further, I would ask HTL for technical advice about one of their breathers and avoid the hassle of ordering an Amelite one from the US: http://htluk.co.uk/Products/metal_oil_fill_plug The KMF vents to atmosphe...

Dan Williams Transmissions was one of the first to fit an air vent to the Toploader and this has been copied by David Kee. DWT used a Stewart Warner (Alemite) air vent number 313650. Alemite 313650 http://www.alemite.com/catalog/details.aspx?identifier=fittings_breathers Available from Tooldex ($5.3...

David Kee fits an air vent/breather (see first photo on link below) to the tailshaft housing in his remanufactured Toploaders. http://www.davidkeetoploaders.com/remanufactured.htm The DKT air vent part number is DK296-66 and is priced at $6.50. Obviously the housing would need to be removed, then dr...

In the absence of a proper seal puller, a crowbar or large screwdriver will do the removal job of the tail shaft seal. When fitting the new seals, use a suitable socket or piece of gas pipe etc and gradually drift them into position, making sure that they are lined up perfectly “square”. Do not try ...

Erratic readings on your fuel gauge or water temperature gauge could be down to a faulty instrument voltage stabiliser. Rather than replace it with another using the same old-fashioned technology, you could fit a more accurate and reliable solid-state version: http://bob_skelly.home.comcast.net/~bob...

This earth strap is usually connected from a point on the nearside chassis to a bolt on the engine plate/block plate or possibly to a gearbox/bellhousing bolt.
