Some work had to be performed aligning wheels when at the workshop " Delta Carburació " in Lleida street, it appeared a very pleasant visit , for its excellent state of preservation and beauty I can not resist not to include it in the blog
after a well deserved attention, back to work
When checking the wheels alignement, appeared a positive drop in the left wheel of Triumph that had no obvious explanation.
The chassis is in good condition and has no distortion, but there was a difference of about 1 cm. in the steps of the left wheel relative to the axis of the vehicle compared to the same distance in the right wheel. ?So to investigate ...
... to find the responsible deviated in the left wheel a piece that does not correspond to the TR4 but with a model of the last series, when our TR4 is the first series appears .
We also see that steering has excessive travel , which gives a very small turning radius , but compromises the integrity of the brake discs that may be scratched. We see that at some point in the history of TR 'someone' thought that one screw was expendable .... and NO! .It is important to the thoroughness of a good mechanic to advance the settlement of a historic vehicle as the weather may have introduced changes that are difficult to identify , in this case 1cm . was the track.
