Well, we didn't get much progress here. We went up to the Adirondacks for a few days, as the kids were off school. So we haven't even got to the brake caliper situation I posted about above (Pat - I'll let you know; thanks for the offer).


Before we went away, we decided to reconfigure the garage. We have a three car, but the one bay part is offset from the two bay. We had the chassis on the far side of the two bay, but we felt like it should be in the one bay - which is lightly longer, and gets less foot traffic. So we pulled everything out (except the other Triumph and the Jaguar in storage, and the Kawasaki having open-heart surgery), and put it all back differently. This of course meant cleaning up the mess of leaked oil and coolant which you'll always get under a 64 year old British car.

Our next job was to torque the hub bolts. But. In doing that, we noticed that a piece of the inboard side of the hub is coming away.

Well, maybe no problem, because surely the pressure of the hub being pushed inwards will close that up... except that when we do that, the center doesn't sit evenly and has play.

I thought about putting on the hub nut and tightening...but it's definitely not a 13/16th socket as stated on p66 of the build manual, so I have another trip to Harbor or Ace for the 36mm that I apparently need.

Any thoughts from the braintrust?
