Thank you for your encouragements Ronnie! Its the wind I need under my wings to keep producing. Glad you appreciate it the way you do! Stay in touch!

Hi, and thank you for your comment. At what exact time are you referring to, in the video? I think that the moment is when I remove the old bearing, but I would like to make sure. Thanks!

@@gmcevoy At 51:58 you are tapping the bearing spacer in. I appreciate that the spacer is not a tight fit inn the inner race but there is still an impact force being transmitted through the balls which have a very small contact area. Section F14 of the workshop manual does explain to fit the bearing and spacer as an assembly. (I did enjoy your tank sealing section)

@@zakzhango2495 Ah, yes, I see what you mean. It would make sense to press the spacer with a backing die on the inner race, then press the assembly in the wheel. Agreed. Thankfully, the press fit is not really that tight, but you are right. Thanks for pointing that out!

Hi Vic, Don was not my dad, but it is always nice to hear about good people who knew their thing. Thank you for watching!

@@gmcevoy He had the dual engine salt flats racer in the shop and I was always amazed on how he engineered that bike. He could make those engines scream!

@@vicwaytek7223 Wow, it must have been impressive to see it up close!

Cherokee red it is. Thank you for sticking around! Much appreciated. I have a few things going on related to my Triumph, a couple of BMW's and a Steyr/Puch Pinzgauer. I understand that not all of it might appeal to you, but my channel is a one-stop-shop for those who just appreciate the entertainment value of my content. I hope you will find my other productions interesting as well. A lot of hard work goes into them no matter what. Thanks again, and welcome to my channel! 🙂

Glad that you found this interesting. I put a lot of effort into producing these videos. :-) Did you also watch my front end rebuild video?

@@gmcevoy I'm doing that now. About half way through. Work keeps interrupting though... I've the fork seals to do on mine so appreciate your efforts.

@@bm7760 Nice. I know about that "work" thing much too well. It can really get in the way sometimes. lol

My speedo cable measures 160cm, give or take. You might want to have a look at the spare parts catalogue from Andover Norton, just to make sure.

@@gmcevoy Super helpful, Thanks ❣

Nice one, Darren! Thank you! By the way, a new RC channel is up and coming. I hope you will like it! Stay tuned!

@@gmcevoy Yes mate i'm still here hope that shop can help you out they seem to have a good amount of parts for your bike so it's a good resource to have for any hard to find bits. the points they have could of course be those Japan ones

@@Mr_Dia-Tribe Glad to know you are doing well! Thanks again for the tip. I will drop them a line. Speak soon I hope! All the best.

Hey Geoffrey, have a peek at videos from Paul Henshaw, he is a wizard with all British bikes, loads if vids of Triumphs. Guys a legend, great videos

@@ronniemcmurdo2016 Thanks for the tip Ronnie!

Interesting! Thank you for pointing that out! What would you recommend as polishing technique, if required to do so?

@@gmcevoy Terri cloth. Smal circles. Try not to let it dry completely.. if so, then a damp cloth.

It is entirely up to the owner I suppose. I prefer to be safe than sorry, and now that it is done, I can forget about it completely for life and no longer worry about rust forming during long periods of inactivity.

​@@gmcevoyYou may end up regretting putting any type of liner (even "ethanol safe") inside your petrol tank.

@@themotorider1 Why is that? Have you had a bad experience?

@@gmcevoy Yes. I've used different ethanol safe liners a few times ( ever optimistic). After a while they've slowly dissolved ending up with one or all of the following: Blocked petrol(gas) taps/ filters. Sticking carb slides. Blocked carb jets. Sticking valves. The last time I used it I stripped the head down to sort the problems (Bonnie 650). The valves, guides, cylinder head and pistons looked like someone had made bonfire toffee in there. 😩 On the plus side your sealant didn't look to be the same as any of mine. Maybe I should have gone high end instead of mid-price. The last time I used any was 3 or 4 years back. Fingers crossed the tank sealant manufacturers have got their act together regarding ethanol. We in the UK went from 5% to 10% ethanol recently. I put the 5% high octane stuff in my bikes (even my newer ones) now. Hopefully you'll be fine. 👍

@@themotorider1 Thank you for your valuable input. Thankfully, as there is no other fuel gauge on this fantastic bike than taking a peek inside the tank before a ride, I hope I will catch any deterioration in time. The product I have used has a good reputation. It has been distributed for years, so I trust it is a decent formula. The fuel we have here is just as crappy, and 95 octane contains 10% ethanol (more or less), whereas 98 octane only has 5% (again, give or take). Needless to say, I've been using 98 octane in everything ranging from my cars and bikes down to the lawn mower. 🙂 Thanks again for sharing your story! I hope your Triumph won't be making toffee again any time soon.

I would consider experimenting, but this is the only one I was able to source... Do you know where I could find different ones to try out?

@@gmcevoy Hi…..there’s loads on eBay…..what country are you in? I’m English and I live in France….

@@BLUESBOYBENFIELD I am in Belgium, English as well. 🙂

43 tooth. Conventry spares. No bother experimenting. Trust me 43 tooth transforms these OIF disc brake models. Drops your rpm down 500 rpm at 60 miles an hour. No really loss at getaway. Great videos my friend.

Thank you @@mickgerard6696 Duly noted. I must give it a try indeed.
