The purpose of this kit is to replace the roller bearing of the original design on the clutch ramp mechanism on the classic triples of Triumph and BSA with a thrust roller bearing.

The kit includes the following (second photo):

-One thrust roller bearing with its upper and lower disk and the cage with balls

-One ring spacer

-One new adjusting nut (sleeve nut)

-Installation instructions

A few words about it:

The problem with the original design is that when the clutch is compressed

the adjusting nut’s inner face comes in contact with the outer face of the ramp mechanism.

Thus the pull rod that lifts the clutch’s compression plate stops rotating

and since the clutch is spinning, the inner bearing (57-3717) on the clutch plate has to tolerate all the thrust force

while its inner race is stationary and the outer is turning.

This reduces dramatically the life of that bearing which its replacement requires the removal of the primary drive and clutch housing.

With this modification you can keep the pull rod turning with the clutch disengaged.

NOTICE:

THE BEARING BOX ON THE SECOND PHOTO IS FOR DEMONSTRATION ONLY.

THE KIT CAN BE SUPPLIED AND WITH OTHER BRAND OF BEARING EXCEPT NSK

AND IT DEPENDS OF WHAT I WILL HAVE FIND ON THE MARKET

AT THE DAY OF PURCHASE.

BUT I GUARANTY THAT IT WILL BE OF A GOOD QUALITY

FROM A RESPECTABLE MANUFACTURER.

I can post it worldwide for 8$ with tracking number of course.

thanks for looking.

Honda CR-Z Hybrid – the promo video

Fri, 16 Apr 2010

Honda has released a promo video (below) for the Honda CR-Z Last month we got the specs and prices for the UK Honda CR-Z Hybrid, Honda’s modern hybrid take on the CR-X – they want us to believe. So having given us the buy price – it starts at £17k – and the specification – the basic gets Climate , CD player, heated door mirrors, rear dimming mirror, electric windows, daytime running lights and Shift Indicator Light (SIL) – it’s now time to get the marketing underway. Despite feeling that Honda are barking up the wrong tree by trying to make an underpowered hybrid powertrain seem an appealingly sporty prospect, we have to admire their wish to do so.

Project Car Hell, Homely but Lovable Edition: Triumph Mayflower or Frazer Vagabond?

Thu, 29 May 2014

Welcome back to Project Car Hell, where those little carburetor screws always disappear down the intake and all the parts you need are hoarded by bitter curmudgeons in Alaskan survivalist shacks. The Hell Garage Demons have come to the realization that the ugly cars of the early postwar era just don't get enough restoration love these days, and so they've taken a break from their day jobs (boiler-room managers for a major telemarketing firm) in order to scour the List of Craig for a pair of suitably homely machines from the 1946-1954 period. There were many to choose from, but they've found a couple of appropriate cars made on opposite sides of the Atlantic.
