Rack and Pinion Steering Mock Up/Transmission
Time in Garage Thursday: 1 hour
Time in Garage Monday 45 mins
Mock up of Rack and Pinion completed-an issue has arisen with respect to interference between the frame and steering u-joint. More work is required.
Update:
Still no progress in resolving the steering u-joint interference issue. Still awaiting some direction from Moss Motors (I have placed a call with their technical support team ) which I assume will happen today??? I am very reluctant to start grinding away metal until I know I am on the right track...
My garage space is once again clogged with woodworking tools (unloaded from my truck) from my daughter's reno job I have been working on for the last month. It was good to have the extra space in the garage with all the tools removed but all that has changed again..Before I do any more work I am going to have to get my space back in order which will probably take a couple of hours...The reno is officially "finished" so I can return my focus to the Triumph...
Another distraction Monday was the detailing of my 94 Ranger in prep for selling. It took about 3 hours to complete but worth it. Last night I did some Internet research on selling prices so I will have a better idea of what to price it at.
Last week I took my transmission to the car wash and gave it an engine cleaner soak and wand clean off. I was surprised at how "baked on" the crud is as there was still a fair amount of grime on the assembly. So yesterday out came a scrub pad, toothbrush and cleaner combined with some old fashion "elbow grease" I started to remove what was left over. A fairly tedious endeavor ( I am about 50% complete) but necessary to do.....
