Well….. no lap belt alone will ever be safer than a 3 pointer and if the factory thought it was good enough not sure that the very man should be arguing….. Just my 2 cent worth…. That made me laugh….. as someone who drives old Triumphs (the meccano ones) too fast I can certainly relate. They do have 3 point belts though

Reckon it will. Have done similar with regular epoxy on several occasions and seems to work.

It may be artificial but it’s definitely not intelligent….. Any fool knows ALL Imps should have flat sixes

That was some unexpected resurrection there - astonishing. 😳. I couldn’t believe they got it turning, then I couldn’t believe that got it running, then I assumed it would eat itself in minutes (if not seconds), and instead it just healed itself 🤷‍♂️

Was going to suggest an LS….. 🙂

Looks like it should pull out of there........ jammed in by squashed seal? Saw one of these on a trailer locally the other day and thought of you.

Or even 1960 🙂

It’s a good looking beast. Polished up nicely. Good luck sorting the shuffle 🙂

Oh.... that looks like alot of welding.....

The size difference is striking. It not just cars that have grown over the years.

Was going to say definitely something BL but maybe not Triumph…. And now the cat is out of the bag…. Plenty of scope for suffering & regret but not really worse than anything else from that era. Hopefully not fall-apart rusty at least?

Oh yeah…. Just been looking at this. Very strong (and expensive) diff, paired up with what looks remarkably like my Rover Metro CV driveshafts - which are much less strong. Not convinced about the vertical link location methods either, especially the top arm.

Uh huh….. And there was I getting all excited 🙂

There’s a kit that fits an R200 in a small chassis Triumph?! 🤔

Usual classy work on the instruments. Came out nicely. Not sure I’ve fully understood the technology of the replacement speedo. Obviously I do understand the speed calibration part but how have you gone about calibrating the odo?
