Triumph Roadster Restoration Part 14: Possums, Wasps, Brakes, Horns and Lights
Part fourteen of the series documenting the restoration of my 1947 Triumph Roadster (TRD655).
The braking saga continues (yet again!) with this the first part of this video being filmed in February 2024 and the latter part in January 2025. In this video I remove and refit the brake master cylinder, which despite being rebuilt still does not function correctly. I then get bored with bleeding the brakes time and time again to no avail and turn my attention to the lights. I establish the problem does not lie with the switch, removing the wasps' nest therefrom. I then turn my attention to the horns, which are also suffering from a deceased wasp infestation....

    Wonderful car and nicely presented. Best from Switzerland from an owner of a 1951 Mulliner MkVI and a 1953 R-Type. I have owned every model up to 1996 of RR and B and came back to MkVI and R-Type, manual gearbox change both, because they are the best of all after War models! 😊

    Friendly correction: the engine capacity for the Mark VI and Silver Dawn was the same. Only the carburettors were different. Also, you are referring to the interior heater, it is not a seat heater, as the handbook will confirm. Lastly, the car should be started in second gear, again the handbook will confirm that.

    I love all models of the MGT cars and have owned many of them over the years. My first car was a MGTD given me in a very poor state back in 1969. However I went the last 35 years without a MGTD. So as soon as I could I purchased a very nice MGTF RHD project that is mostly dismantled and is awaiting restoration in my workshop. Soon after that I found and purchased a gorgeous fully restored MGTF about 7 months ago. Most recently I purchased a very nice MGTD that had been cosmetically restored some years ago but still presents very well. So now I own three of these classic MGs and enjoy driving the MGTF and the MGTD as often as I can. I am 70 now so there is no time to lose.

    • @Rust_in_Time
      @Rust_in_Time 11 месяцев назад

      No, alas that certainly won't be enough movement to engage the shoes properly. There is still plenty of air in the system, and I'm working on getting a rebuilt master cylinder as a safety measure. Well spotted with the lack of adjustment mechanism - they are supposedly "self-adjusting" according to Triumph, but in reality this just means they bind all the time! No wonder the Roadsters had a reputation for hesitant performance...
