One piece at a time we dress up the engine and we are getting closer to getting it started 0:00 Intro 3:00 Installing The Transmission 8:18 Exhaust Manifold 8:50 Cleaning and installing The Carbs
i always clean the outside FIRST...on parts..especially carbs....i make simple quick covers for the open holes ( use a gasket as a template ) and tape at minimum those open areas...any tiny grit/grunge can ruin your work...once i cover it to seal out my cleaning process...i wipe off the loose stuff..spray it with carb cleaner ( brush it clean ) and wash it with soapy water ( dishwashing detergent in hot soap ) scrub it with a parts cleaner brush ( used only fir soapy water ) and blow it dry...you can now tear it apart without getting junk into it... a complete rebuild gets all of this plus more cleaning as i go...never too clean...tiny passages don't like dirt or stones or metal!! plus your hands can stay clean as you get deeper...🤔
Another good update Elin.I’d be interested to see how you get on with the Ultrasonic cleaner with those carbs. I bought one, used the ‘special’ ultrasonic cleaner that came with it, but couldn’t get my carbs any cleaner than I could with a wire wheel. I have also converted to SU carbs (HS6, with BAE needles) to make setting up easier.
To be honest I've never used my ultrasonic cleaner. The box is still sealed. So I will have to do some research myself before I try to clean those carbs
I think you will want to put the oil filter adapter back in the angled position like it was. If it is straight down, it will not provide enough access/clearance for the bleeder screw on the clutch slave cylinder.
You might be right! I didn't think of that. I thought I've seen it installed on an angle and that is how I originally installed it but then I thought there was no reason for that. Obviously there was LOL. Thank you!
Elin, I was wondering why I haven’t been notified of your new videos. I got unsubscribed and not by me. Now I have 3 videos to watch. Merry Christmas my friend 🎅
Elin, i was watching with interest how you mounted the gearbox to the engine plate. Looks like you have the bolts pointed forward, with the nuts on the engine side. Is this normal? All the diagrams I saw have the bolts pointed back so the nut is on the gearbox side. Any thoughts on this?
Elin hello, I have been learning a tremendous amount from you and the wonderful tutorials.! But I’m hoping you can also help me find a part source for something that I am in need of. Hopefully somebody you know of or maybe one of your subscribers of which I’m one, can help me locate and secure a constant pinion shaft or input shaft is commonly called in the states… They are definitely model specific I have a 67 GT six work one so I need one that will work with that model in my gearbox. You’ve been a great motivational tool for me to work on mine as mine is also a frame off restoration. But my gearbox is toast without that input shaft the existing one is beyond repair it all to many people have a tendency to just open the top plate look down in there say oh it’s fine and no it isn’t it isn’t always just a bearing it can be really toast and my nails so I need to find a replacement that’s at the very least rebuild a bowl if not a new old stock hopefully your infinite resources can help me secure one. I have exhausted all the sources that I know of a nine need some help out there for those peas to get my otherwise rolling chassis rolling on it’s own momentum. Please keep the tutorials rolling they are great!
Hi Robert. Thank you for the nice message, but unfortunately I don't have the part you need. I don't know which sources you checked so I'm gonna list the ones I know of. Moss, The Roadster Factory, Rimmers Bros, Spitbits. I believe British Parts North West closed but I still see their site running so maybe they are still selling old stock. That is all I know. I hope that helps!
@@RustyBeauties Elin, Hello👍👍 Rob here. Well, I did manage to find a “reconditioned” input shaft!!👏👏👏😅😅😅 Rimmer Bros had one! Lucky me, eh.? Hope you’re going to enjoy your new location can’t wait to see you jump back on those GT6s, produce more wonderful videos. You indeed are a godsend my friend and I certainly would love to meet you if I was up in Canada about it I’m not far peace from you so it’s not likely to happen anytime soon but I think you’re a great guy with a wonderful work ethic and a very moral man someone I could really respect as a friend! Again thanks for all the great content tutorials and even some of the little mishaps because I went in from that as well. Praying that God‘s blessings are shining upon you and new avenues of success will always be open to you and your family! Merry Christmas and hoping that this new year dining before us proves to be embedded with so much more successes rather than failures for all of us and freedom!!
Hi Elin, I didn’t realise you had already moved back into your company workshop but I hope everything is ok with you. Have you moved into your new rental house ok? Best wishes to you and the family, (not an easy time moving just before Christmas) but I hope you still manage to have a happy one. 🙏
I never moved out of that shop. The 74 TR6 is still getting done there and I go to work there every day. As for moving homes, I am still half way. I have both places till the end of the month and I move on the weekends only a little bit at a time. The garage and cars will be last. Maybe next weekend. We should be all good for Christmas in our new place!
How do you remove drive shaft yoke from rear of 1974 triumph tr6 transmission to replace a leaking rear seal Transmission still in car. Drive shaft down
Elin why don't you just weld a nut to the broken bolt, the more heat the better, some really stuck bolts take many attempts but do come out eventually, hope it solves your problem
Sorry Elin I wrote the comment before seeing the weld, maybe I should watch all before commenting next time, hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and New year
