I just noticed these in Harbor Freight the other day and was wondering how it bends metal because the display only had the Handle Lever part and not that top holding part. Now I know. they are 19.97 right now.

Wow, that is inexpensive. I have used mine quite a bit over the summer, mostly bending 18ga galvanized sheet metel. Full width bends ate about the limit of its ability to make the bend, but it has not let me down yet. Making small brackets and the like are a snap.

@ejhbritishcars6907 Күн бұрын
You would need to lock the rear axle with the brakes or get the wheels on the ground and and heavily chocked. The problem is the nut is torqued to such a high value that it will easily turn the wheels even with the parking brake on pretty tightly.

@ejhbritishcars6907 thank you. I have a 68 dodge 1 ton dually. Now that I'm thinking of it I can't lock the rear wheels with the parking brake because it's a drum style that's attached to the back of the transmission.

thanks EJH. Brought back memories. Our '67 MGBGT (bought new in Dec '66 and we still have it) was short of heat for a Saskatchewan winter. A pal had put a Ford heater into his TR3A so I got one from a '59 Ford car and mounted it over the passenger footwell. Modified the 3 speed blower from the Ford to fit beside the core. Lots of heat for our second winter with the car, but the passenger's feet got very warm. The water feed was parallel to the factory heater. John, now in Manitoba.

thanks - so as far as you could tell the box was in good condition and nothing was replaced. I remember trying to adjust the box on our early TR2 a long time ago and it didn't seem to make much difference to play. Just got harder to turn if tightened too much. Lots go to the rack and pinion conversion - perhaps for less play and easier turning - but doing something about the box on our car is quite far down the list. Will await the report on how it steers when you are done when compared to a TR4 with rack and pinion. John in chilly Manitoba.

I did replace the seals and gsskets. There was a lot of greasy dirt between the arm and the box as well, which may have been adding drag. The bushing seemed fine, and there was no excessive wear on the cam. Mostly, I wanted to onspect the inside workings as I have never driven the car to know how the steering felt. Thanks for watching.

With the airflow under the car I don't think that is an issue. The trans generates quite a bit of heat during operation regardless of the exhaust and is not particularly heat sensitive. Certainly a passengers leg, in a LHD car, is a lot more vulnerable to the discomfort of heat in the 120 degree range than the transmission.

thanks EJH. Our early 2 (TS 394) has the 4 blade. I have never heard of the tropical fan. Besides 2 more blades, the blade pitch is more aggressive than on ours. I wonder how much horsepower it takes at 3500 rpm ? Looks like it would move a lot of air. John in Manitoba and winter arrived today.
@ejhbritishcars6907 2 ай бұрын
I don't expect that it takes much more power. I'd be surprised if it was enough to notice in regular road use. Here in California I am much happier with a bit more air movement. I have a "Yellow" fan on my TR4 and it is happy even on the hottest days. The original fan was the 4 small blade type. Even upgrading to the larger 4 bladed fan as used by the factory in later TR4's makes a big difference.

You will need to slacken the column attachment bolts and slide the outer column toward the dash a bit, 1/8 to 1/4 inch so that there is a slight gap between the hub and the top of the column. No other centering springs that I am aware of. It is the caster of the front wheels that create the self centering force in an automotive front end. Thanks for watching.

Presently this 39103 bending brake is on clearance for $29.97, so I bought one and put it to use almost immediately. Bending Stainless Steel is a little more difficult but bending 18ga did very nicely. The Replacement SKU 67240, is a 30" manual unit of similar design now $69.99.

You have this right idea bolting it down. Mines bolted down with anchors that sit below the surface. I simply unbolt and store in a corner when not in use. Ive mounted dozens of tires on mine and it saves so much time compared with having to deal with a tire shop. There is a learning curve to the mounting end of the bar, one well worth getting past. A duck bill mod is best really, it saves rims and lets you work with nice alloys.
