Hello! Just come across your blog on way home from work. I love these cars!

[@forwardtothepast2411]

well done indeed, i suspect i will be using that rust treatment in future fuel tanks, very informative

[@deep6thisdeep6this92]

background piano reminds me of some old Ramsey Lewis Trio albums i had BITD. ...er, oh ya, nice video on refurbishing an old carb and tank! :) making me anxious to get my old '52 right hand drive TD back out on the road after some much needed maintenance.

Great video strangely I decided to take my carb out of my Triumph Renown TDB today will follow your guide to clean it out along with tank sender cheers!

Good content young sir and well done ,can't wait to hear her start up 👍👍

Copyright 1964? I am slightly bemused... oh, well! I trust that your carburetor works better than the carburetor on my Dad's 1972 Ford Torino, after I took it apart.

Glad someone finally noticed my Roman numeral Easter egg! Fingers crossed the carb works, yes...I did everything by the service manual so I'm pretty hopeful.

Hi, can you tell me where you got your rebuild kit from? Someone has used gasket seal and thread lock on mine. Thanks

[@Rust_in_Time]

I actually just made the gaskets myself with the correct gauge gasket paper. I'd suggest writing to the club if you need a full kit but usually fixed jet carburettors don't require as much maintenance as say SUs do. Best of luck!

Very nice videos. I am urgently looking for a fuel tank for a Triumph Roadster 2000 (1948/1949). I don't know where else to look or ask. Does anyone have an idea?

[@Rust_in_Time]

I assume you have tried the Triumph Roadster club? Otherwise I would have a metal fabrication shop weld one out of non-ferrous alloy or stainless steel.

[@dirkb.260]

Many thanks for the answer. Yes, I have already asked the Triumph Roadster Club. Then we can probably only have the tank made by our body builder.@@Rust_in_Time

When is next video coming?

[@Rust_in_Time]

Hopefully in a couple of weeks. Unfortunately due to the torrential rains in NSW, the road to get to the place where the car is kept was washed away but they have promised to reopen it in a couple of days.
