My 59 TR3 came in boxes, so your painful detail will be my saving details... thanks for all of these and best of luck!

Great job rebuilding the suspension, I am working on a '61 TR3A. It's nice to see someone posting usable content!

I don't know how usable it is, but great if it helps at all. Mainly documenting for some current 3-year old kid that will get this car someday!

Agree with the other comments the detail is excellent - thank you. Just had to replace discs on mine (apparently forgetting to tighten the wheel nuts up, seeing the wheel overtake you at 50mph and skidding to a halt isn't good for discs!). I saw you said you did up the castellated nut on the spline to about 10lbs, mine is much less - literally did up to touch the D washer finger tight and backed off to nearest split pin hole. At 10 lbs I can hardly turn the hub. Same both sides, changed both discs although one was perfectly good. No wobble on the spline and quick couple mile test drive to bed the brakes seemed ok. Should I be worried? '59 3A

Well first of all, I am no expert so you need to decide for yourself in the end. Finger tight seems a bit too lose to me. I put in new felt grease seals though and those can really screw you up. They compress a lot in the first miles you drive them and I found that I had to go back and tighten the nut up some more after 20 or 30 miles. If you put in new grease seals too, I would recommend checking for wheel wobble a few times until you believe it isn't going to change anymore. If you didn't put in new seals, then the ones you had are probably already compressed and so less torque seems appropriate. You don't want the nut so tight that it causes undo effort to turn the wheel, and if you really have no wobble, I guess it's hard to argue with what you did. Did you check for wobble with the tire on so you had some mechanical advantage by holding the outside of the tire? You might notice it more with the tire then with just the disc. In any case, I would keep a close eye on it for a little while just to be sure. Good luck with it.

@@JB_WI_Triumph thanks for the reply. No I didn't replace the seals so that's a good point and could be a big part of the reason. I'll keep checking as you suggest. Cheers
